Morning Harts you kindly sent me 6 bulbs in February (order number 3005768) and I planted the first 3 on 16th March, in the greenhouse, in multipurpose compost (Wickes ) with the pointed end just a couple of mm below the surface. So far no signs of sprouting. I have done the same with the other 3 in garden compost on April 16th. How long would you expect the first planting to show signs of growing. Thanks .Roger......

Hi there,
Scadoxus can take a little time to activate, hopefully you will see signs of growth of the ones in the greenhouse soon.

I bought six from you I have a square pot 30 cmsX 30 cms How many bulbs should i plant in it ??? thanks :)

I would advise 3 maximum per pot as you don't want your scadoxus flower heads to be imposing on each other. They need a bit of room.

Please advise on how often do I water my Scadoxus. Many thanks George.

Water Scadoxus Multiflorus freely when in flower. Once the flower head has died back withhold watering until new leaves appear the following season. Then resume watering again. Scadoxus Multiflorus (Pack of 6 Bulbs) (SKU17705)

This question was asked by - Wayne B

Hello. I am looking at your scadoxus bulbs. Can you tell me what 16cm+ bulb size means please, and are these flowering size bulbs. Many thanks Wayne

HI Wayne

It's the circumference of the bulb. So the Scadoxus bulbs we have are 16cm+ which is top size for these. This means you will benefit from them being more mature and producing a better display the first year compared to smaller, less developed bulbs. The Hart Family
