My neighbour? Where? Malaysia, Singapore, Phillipines, PN, Australia?
It's also dry season here. 37°C day, 25 at night. That's why I hv to use refrigerator. And the heat makes the bloom only lasts 3 - 7 days max
I started to plant A last year. After blooming, I let the leaves for 4-5 months, then I cut them all, remove the soil, put in frige, peek the bulb every other week until the scape comes up (that's the local seller told me, so I can bloom them twice a year)
Just wish to have beautiful A just like many people show here. Ordering seeds 3 times, just 1 arrived safely. So I guess 3 years then....
