Sparaxis bulbifera Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Requires a light well-drained soil in a hot sunny position[1, 42, 79]. Prefers a rich soil[79]. This species is not very cold-hardy in Britain, when grown outdooors it is best planted about 15cm deep on a south facing wall in November[1]. Apply a mulch over the winter to protect the corms from cold[42]. The corms must be kept dry after flowering, at a minimum temperature of 10°c. It is best to lift the corms when the leaves die down, store them in a dry place and to replant them in November[1]. In areas with cool summers the plant might not manage to develop adequate corms for subsequent growing[200]. Plants produce bulbils on the flowering stems, when plants are grown in a greenhouse these bulbils can sow themselves around freely[K]. For further Sparaxis bulbifera gardening information |
