| When I opened the bag, it seemed some of the white shoots were mushy. But there were 1 or two good ones. I planted them in a pot.
I intend to grow it indoors. Can anyone share experiences?
Thank you ahead of time.

| Murata's Four Seasons of Bonsai has a gorgeous clump growing in a shallow pot of water -- but this requires a high level of care! I'm afraid they may not do well without some serious chilling in winter; you may have to let the bulbs go dormant by holding off watering in fall and then stashing them in the fridge for a couple of months, otherwise they will eventually go downhill. My little pot stayed outside all winter, but came back just fine; I'm hoping to find a decent bonsai-style pot for it. For five bucks, it's worth the experiment! Jim |
