Re-BloomingAfter fl owering, allow the plant to continue growing until late summer. Then, stop watering and, when foliage dries, cut leaves back to approximately 2" above bulb top. Let the bulb rest in a cool, dark, dry place for at least eight weeks. Then, repeat the above care.

Planting• Choose a 6–8” diameter pot with drainage holes, plus a waterproof saucer or decorative outer pot.

• Plant the bulb with the roots facing down in pre-moistened potting mix, leaving the shoulders of the bulb exposed above the soil.

Care• Place the pot in bright light at room temperature (65–75˚ F).

• Water as needed to keep the soil moist but not wet. Avoid getting water in the bulb’s neck. Empty any water that has drained into the saucer or outer pot.

• Rotate the pot every few days to keep the plant growing straight.

• When the buds start to open, move the plant to a cool spot (55–65˚ F) out of direct sunlight to prolong blooming.
