Wildebloem, welcome back! =) It's so nice to see you back. How far along is the seedpod? The only thing I can think of that you might be able to provide for the bulb is maybe some Superthrive? If not, I've listed a link that I've found helpful in trying Hydroponics. The website has instructions on how to make your own formulas/fertilizers =) Best of luck! =)

Here is a link that might be useful: Hydroponics

How nice, thank you, it is nice to BE back. It has been so busy again, I have not looked at the posts for a long time.

Thank you for the hydroponics link. Looks VERY interesting, but I am almost afraid to look. I love to experiment, and now that this one bulb is setting seed...

I do not know Superthrive, but will check it out. The link for fertilizers on the hydro site gave me another idea though: I have some liquid fertilizer with an NPK of 5-60-10 (I sometimes use it to start AVs and hibiscus into bloom). The 60 may help provide at least some nutritients for the benefit of the bulb. I will try a very diluted solution in the water, see what happens.

I have no idea how far along the seedpod actually is - I have never seen a ripe one and do not know how long the pods take to ripen. The fused group currently is 3" wide and a little over 1" tall - and very green.

I couldn't guess at exactly how long it will take to ripen, but you'll know... the pod will begin to split open on it's own... that's when I snip off the pod, and set it somewhere to dry...

I almost missed one pod on my Limona, and it split so wide that seeds almost spilled out all over! I caught it just in time, and it's now in its container with all the other pods from Limona... Limona proved to be a very fertile variety!
