I remember your plant Daniel. So how did you end up vernalizing it - in the fridge? If so, then it should be put out when average outdoor temperatures are still cool, say below 60 F. Putting it directly into warmer conditions will stress the plant, though not likely kill it. Cyps start to grow when average temperatures go above the 50-55 F, so I'd use that as a guide.
I have a question on this subject too. Can they be unpotted each year before they go into the fridge or must they stay in the pot?
Not recommended Mike. I have no choice but to repot each year due to the climate, but I always repot them directly, not just storing them in a bag.
I'm not sure I understand. Do you repot each year and then store in the fridge or put them in for the winter and repot in spring? What do you mean by repotting directly? Why can't I store them in moss or vermiculite like other cold climate bulbs etc. then pot up in spring?
