Instructions
Top Tip
Before planting, soak triteleia bulbs in lukewarm water overnight to help soften them and promote faster growth.
How to Water
Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season. Avoid overwatering and water more sparingly during the dormant season.
How to Plant
Choose a spot in full sun with light, fertile, well-draining soil and use a bulb planter or trowel to dig small holes around 10cm apart. Place one bulb 8-10cm deep in each hole. Ensure the pointed end faces upwards then backfill the hole with soil, firm down, and water in well.
