Hi Cheryl, I am very interested to know about re-blooming your A bulb for the holiday. I will be receiving two A bulbs (Samba and Blossom Peacock) in this late October and hoping to force them bloom at Christmas. Now I am wondering if you can share your growing experience: Did you receive your bulb last year about this time or when? Did it bloom last year at Christmas? The bloom last for how long? I assume you grow it in pot and after last bloom you placed it outside for growing in summer?
Now according to Margaret's suggestion, you put it to re-build for 8 wks and after that it would still need about 6-8 weeks to re-grow and bloom. That will be in spring, not holidays?
Like you I would love to have my A's re-bloom next year at the same time of this year (I wish mine would bloom at Christmas this year). So maybe I can learn it from your experience. Appreciate your sharing.
