Storage: Prior to planting, store
bulbs at 41-55°F (5-13°C) and do not let them dry out. For container-grown
plants, two systems are available. They are: Bring container plants indoors
in the fall before the first frost. Since, it is not necessary to rest the
plants, place them in a well lighted area at 50-55°F (10-13°C) for
8 to 10 weeks. Then return to a warm, well lighted growing area. In the
fall, cease watering the planting medium and place plants in the dark at
41-55°F 95-13°C) for at least 2 months. Then water the planting
medium and place in a warm, well lighted growing area. |
