Growing Tips for South African Gardens 🌿

Soil: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil. Improve clay-heavy ground with compost and sand. Mulching helps retain moisture.

Sunlight: Prefers full sun but tolerates light midday shade in very hot inland areas.

Planting:

  • Time: October – December.

  • Depth: 8 cm, with tubers pointing downwards.

  • Spacing: 25–40 cm apart for best airflow.

Watering: Deep soak every 3–4 days (around 10 minutes). Adjust during extreme heat to prevent stress.

Feeding: Regular feeding with Hadeco Bulb Food encourages lush growth and abundant blooms.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Stake taller stems if necessary.

  • Pinch back new shoots for bushier plants.

  • Thin side buds to enhance main bloom size.

  • Remove any stunted or mottled plants promptly.

Dormancy & Lifting: Plants rest from May to August. In July, cut stems to 5 cm, lift tubers, and store in a cool, dry spot. Well-fed plants will reward you with even more tubers for the next season.
