| Donor's culture notes: |
Temperature range W (70-90°F). Pecteilis susanna grows in areas of rocky grassland that are burned annually. Cultivation: After flowering has finished, the leaves will die back slowly (around mid-August). From late August, give absolutely no water. When the shoot (and the soil) has totally dried up, pile dry grasses and small twigs on top of the pot and set fire to them (this is a serious statement; NOT a joke !!). Allow one week to cool down, collect and keep and the ashes, break open the soil and remove the large creamy-white tuber. Store in a dry cool (frost-free) location over winter. A new shoot will appear sometime during Feb-March; when this happens, bury the tuber with it's top about 1 inch below the surface in a large pot using a rich, open, potting mixture with plenty of wood-ash mixed in (those stored ashes) .. do NOT use BBQ charcoal ashes or coal-ash. Do not water until the young shoot has emerged (may take up to 4 weeks), then water cautiously from below until the first leaves have opened. After this, bring (slowly) into full sun; give plenty of water and fertiliser during active growth, gradually diminish feeding and watering after the flowers have fallen. |
