How to plant the bulbs of Hippeastrum
1. Why don't the planted Hippeastrum bulbs germinate?
When growing Hippeastrum, the bulbs have already been planted in the flowerpot. The bulbs are relatively large, intact, and healthy without mold. However, why don't they germinate after planting?
Besides seasonal reasons or the influence of too high or too low temperatures, there is another reason for non-germination, which is that the bulbs, or corms, have been planted too deep with too much soil covering them.
This can lead to no leaf growth or germination. When planting Hippeastrum bulbs, remember to ensure that one-fourth of the bulb is exposed above the soil surface.
