Thanks woofie and Barbara
I was trying to see now how the roots go these past few months, seems okay so far, given the time for water poured in to be absorbed by some of the gel beads and then clay rocks will hold some, so there is enough air flow below and moisture at the same time. From time to time I try to feel the bulb just to make sure it is not going mushy and so far it is holding very firm.
Now to wait and see..will it try to bloom this winter or skip again to Spring, since it did not make any early this year. Fingers crossed!
