The tuber supplied is so large I wondered if it was possible to divide it in half so that I can use two pots or chance growing one piece outside in my south facing garden.
Hi there,
I would leave your Hedychium Gardnerianum as it for now. When it is more established (after a year or two), then you can divide it up.

I bought these at the Cardiff RHS show. Can you advise me what their botanical name is and how to grow?
Arisaema Speciosum is the Cobra Lily and Arum Cornutum is the Voodoo lily.
For Arisaema Speciosum, the soil must be moist but not wet, with excellent drainage to ensure the tubers and roots do not rot. While they are fussy about their drainage, Arisaema will grow equally well in acidic or alkaline soils. Arisaema are happy in dappled shade and partial sun.
The Arum Cornutum like a well-drained soil too but will tolerate more sunlight. They can be planted in full sun or partial shade. They need to be planted with 5-7″ of soil over the top.

to you plant with point side down or roots down?
Plant your lily bulbs with the point end up and roots down, You should start to see the shoot, this needs to be pointing up.

Can you tell me why the foliage is going yellow?
Good afternoon,
When your Fritillaria Imperialis’ (Crown Imperial) foliage turns yellow, is when the plant stocks up on nutrients and energy for the next blooming cycle.

Can I get the bulbs in now?
I want truly-hardy and shocking pink – which should I go for?
Hi there,
Yes Nerines need planting now. We have a a few shocking pink to choose from, Nerine Bowdenii Favourite and Nerine Bowdenii. Both of which are semi-Hardy so we advise mulching over during the winter months to protect from frost. Ensure they are in free-draining soil as well as they don’t like to get waterlogged.

Fibrous rooted iris, bought at the Harrogate Show, and now wondering how and where to plant. Can this go in ordinary soil?
Good afternoon,
Your Iris will be happy in a moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. If you are growing your iris in pots, a good multipurpose compost will be fine.
