Last October I bought some Bowiea volubilis bulbs online after seeing a mature specimen at a friend's place. The bulbs turned out to be pretty tiny. They seem happy and have increased in size a little but so far made only those long narrow leaves and no climbing stem. Does anyone know what the growth cycle is with young Bowiea bulbs? I presume these leaves will die off at some stage and a climbing stem will appear, but how long will this take? Will they just keep making leaves and increase bulb size for the first few years?
They are on a south-facing window sill which gets about 4-5 hours direct sun, if there is sun - this is Dublin, Ireland...
