I bought a few bulbs two weeks ago and planted most of them into LECA (indoors) or soil (on my balcony), but also one into a Kratky pot.

I don't think I can harvest this year yet, but we'll see.

In this one also grows garlic and strawberries. It's meant to hibernate this winter, and then in the early spring, I'll place it outside.

Do you have any updated pictures? I'd love to see how they're doing now! Thank you for introducing me to LECA.

No major updates yet. The bulbs have all continued growing, and they look a bit like grass. But no flowers yet, probably next year.

Here's how it looks like now (ignore the citrus tree sapling):

I will take a few more pictures and post them here soon :)
