It spends much of the year in the greenhouse as a dormant corm stored under a bench. The plant puts out new growth in November. I begin water and fertilizer and continue until after bloom when the leaves start to yellow. Then I cease fertilizer and gradually slow water \'til it\'s asleep again. Unfortunately the DG title automatically capitalizes the species name which is incorrect nomenclature. |
