| It comes in BIG splashes here, too! For me, it's more a matter of drainage, or having something else to blot up the moisture. (Usually weeds!) I've seen them do very well in bonsai containers which have large drainage holes (cover with mesh or net). They do brilliantly in big chunks of pumice hollowed out and with drainholes. Hypertufa containers also work. A gritty (not sand) mix - either sharp grit or pumice 3-5mm - about one part to two or three of leaf mould/firbark potting medium mixed. They seem to love being crowded in their pots and flower for a long time in a season comfortably snuggled together. A small amount of slow release is beneficial. Once the 'grass' dies back over summer - that dry spell is also valuable for them and some shelter from rain could be useful, but not bone dry. Leave them in the pot - just like an indoor Cyclamen. Over winter - ensure that the pots are up off the ground. If the rain is going to be steady for weeks - more wet than dry, and you have drier patches under the eaves of the house - put them there, with a calendar note to yourself to check them out. |
