I have just purchased a root bulb and getting ready to plant it. I live in Missouri and have a sunny area on the south side of my house, but it only gets direct sun from around 11-2 pm. Sometimes it gets VERY hot on that side for just those hours. Exactly how many hours of sun does it really need to do it's thing. I want to put it in a pot but after reading everything I am almost sorry I bought it. It was just so beautiful in the picture. I want to give it as much love as I do my other plants. Please advise on fertilizer etc. if you would...Thank you!!
I purchased two bulbs this year and planted them in terra cotta pots standing in full sun. Lots of leaves but no flowers - shall I just keep them in the pots and hope for better next year?
Hi floralies i planted mine 2yrs ago and same thing as you all no flowers ,so i replanted with the neck of the bulb above the ground in sun surounded by other plants and hey presto a stalk and 8 flowers,i have 2 and they both reacted the same.Good luck.
Hi everyone, I am very fortunate to have a beautiful bed packed full of pink Crinum. I would love to split and move some to another part of the garden but I am slightly worried after reading they don’t like to be moved. They are solid in the ground and have been there for many years. If they can be split and moved how is best to do this and when is the best time? Many thanks for your help
