with one inch of sphagnum moss, placing the 
bulb on top and covering with another layer 
of sphagnum moss. They should be kept 
moist and moderately warm. As soon as roots 
appear, plant in pots in a light soil, one inch 
below the surface, and water cautiously until

amount. Good drainage is essential. Or the
