My Nerines just produce leaves and no flowers, what should I do?


Our Advice:

Your plants are probably overcrowded and the competition makes them grow but not flower. We suggest you dig up the clumps of bulbs in early summer and divide them before replanting. Plant bulbs 10cm apart with the neck of the bulb just visible above the soil surface. Apply a mulch of sharp grit to discourage slugs and snails.
