| Mine skipped flowering this year, although it has nice leaves and looks solid. Could this be to much light, or possibly too much fertilizer? --Rr |

| Mine are sitting outside and grumping, too! And I'm blaming too much light and not enough food... I think they got their rest period before spring. I haven't noticed any new leaves, though. And I know for sure that I haven't slipped them any high potash feeds for a while. I'll see what a few doses of tomato food will do. And you could see if a spell of less water/more rest will do the trick for you. Fingers crossed for both of us! |

| I keep my albiflos in my chilly kitchen where it's getting less light during (northern hemisphere) winter than before. Water is reduced, and the plant has 4 rather large leaves, so it doesn't look unhappy. I forget when these flower, but it's overdue for repotting regardless...maybe repotting sooner is better? I also have a couple of h. coccineus that I bought last year--nothing from them either, but I think they're spring bloomers, and the bulbs, now dormant, may be too small at 1.25" diameter. Definitely in need of repotting. (Would you believe I finally found a boophone seed source!?) --Rr |
