Depends on when I take them out of storage. What do you dust yours with.A nice flower. Do all your Pleione flower now? Mine are done and dusted and in full leaf growing away!

Lol... here in South Jersey they have leaf problems from the heat and humidity. I thought you had a secret. I could bring them into the air conditioned house for the worst part of the summer. Where are you located if you don’t mind my asking?Sorry, 'done and dusted' is a phrase meaning they're finished for the year!
I don't store mine but keep them potted, cold and dry but frost free. That'll explain the earlier flowering!

I used to let them dry out in the fall then clean them up and store them in the fridge until it got nice out. Then I would pot them up and start all over. Lately I just let the pots go dry and put them in the shed until spring.
At 55°F Pleione will start growing long before they can go outside. You’ll end up growing them in the house unless you have a greenhouse. That was my experience the first year I had Pleione. The next fall I stored them in the fridge. They’ve flowered every year since then. In my shed the temps are 35- 45°F until spring.eds, thanks for sharing your method for overwintering. I have always wanted to try Pleone, but it's too cold here in Northern Indiana. Do you think a dry winter storage at 55F to 60F in a basement be acceptable? This is where I overwinter my Alstromeria and Gloxinia 'Evita'
Are the leafed out? If they are just feed them well for the season... they will reproduce and be ready to flower next year. This fall I’d clean them up and store them in the fridge... I’m going back to that for next year.Nice. Thanks for sharing. I have a few but I grew inside and didn't cool them down. Now what?
