Origin Culture Treatment

 

The right treatment of the bulb is very important to ensure a good and rich flowering.

After the growth season the bulbs are dug out of the soil and dried. After this the bulbs need a special treatment to break the rest period of the flowers. This is done in cool stores and takes ten weeks.

This treatment is often also a problem cause the flowers start to grow directly. In shops the flower would grow out of the box. To prevent this problem the bulbs are often treated for a shorter time.

Bulbs that are not completely treated will flower slow and with less stems. small bulbs will probably not flower at all.
