The bulbs from previous season have been dormant over winter and it is time to re-pot them ready for spring. They will go into the same size pots but with fresh soil.
 |
| Old pot |
 |
| Tip out contents and collect all the tubers. Over the last growing season they have grown small tubers on the side so these all need to be collected as well. |
 |
| They need to be cleaned to remove old soil and checked over for weevils and caterpillars. I used a dibber and brush. |
 |
| Fill a pot with new mix (60:40 pumice-soil) to about 5cm below the rim. Press in the tubers and arrange them with eyes facing up. |
 |
Add a thin layer of soil over the top to cover them.
Water them in and leave to grow.
