My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Forced Crocus HELP Needed!

19 years ago

I planted crocuses in pots and put them in my unheated basement to force. When they were about 2 inches tall, I brought them out of the basement into the light. That was about three weeks ago and I haven't seen a flower bud as yet. The grass-like foliage is crinkled and malformed and I can see a bud-like structure but there is no color and they look dehydrated.

Can anyone tell me what happened and/or what I did wrong? Please advise.

Thank you,

Kris
