Bottom heat ? In compost or not ?
I have bought some , actually more of a thing that I couldn't resist a bargain fill a bag for £1 . So spent a few quid and ended up with 80.
20 in each bag!

Hi , I plant mine in seed trays, but dont cover them. I had mine in the house to start off. They like it on the dry side aswell
I do the same as Perki, don't bury them completely.
The top side of the corm should have a dip in it like a little bowl. A handy tip that I read somewhere on here is if you're not sure which is the top, plant them on their side and when the shoots start to show you can tell which way up to re-pot them.
Thanks both of you I have just finished them got eight in a seed tray I think it might be a while before they are like yours Perki and kitty.!
