HOW is very important. Just make sure you let the vegetation dry completely. It's hard to do if you're weather is still warm and it gets any direct sunlight. Any green at the center will rot out your bulb, so be careful to dry it. If you have somewhere that wont get any rain or sun, a garrage, a shed.. and remove anything soggy..


Thanks, good to know. I have the bulb indoors, in a corner where it's out of the line of sunlight from the windows. Two of the leaves have already turned yellow. It does have a little damage on one side, probably from the fall. I hope it can heal from that. It also really doesn't seem to have grown at all since the winter. I'm wondering if it needed a bit larger pot and/or more water and fertilizer than I was giving it. I don't have high expectations for it to bloom this winter, but as long as it survives and puts out more leaves, I'll keep trying to baby it along!
