Hi TH. I’m not an expert but I have managed to raise a few seedlings.

I left mine in the original pots until they had distinguishable bulbs. Still quite small but large enough for me to handle safely. They do like water but, don’t keep them too soggy or they will rot at the base.

When they were handleable, I moved them, still together, into a wide shallow pot, evenly distributed. I left them that way until they looked crowded and then gave them individual pots.

Time to first bloom varied from 3 to 5 years.

I hope that is helpful.

They certainly look healthy! As Meg wrote, do not keep them soggy. Also, you can fertilize them every week now, they are grown enough for this. Remember, they do not require dormancy in their first year, just keep them in a bright spot and contiue to water and fertilise.

You can repot them as often as you want, I usually sprout them in water, then saw in soil and after about 3 months (when they have 3 healthy leaves), I repot them in individual 1 l pots. A year later, I will repot them again in a 3 or 5 l pots. Some bloom in their second year, while others need 4 or even 5 years (especially cybisters).

Good luck!

Thanks for the Info.
