I bought three calla lily tubers in wilko, and planted them in a pot, with the tubers near the surface, as advised, a couple of weeks ago. Watered and left them in a sheltered spot outdoors. We in the the SE.

I am now wondering whether they needed more protection than that.

They haven't done anything yet - is there any hope?! Would a feed help? Should i Bring them in?

Give them a bit of time! They will be fine.

OK! I will have to learn to be more patient!

This is mine on 16 Jun 2019 (planted that year and given to me by my mum for my birthday).

I can't get my next picture (25 May 2020 - same plant just shooting) to load.

Point being, give them a bit more time.

Chasing did they do anything more than sprout though? I am keen for signs of life but I get that it’s still very early for them.

Oh wow! I am hopeful. The compost keeps getting turned over (squirrels most likely) so I will move them to a more sheltered spot to give hem more of a chance.

Squirrels dig up and eat bulbs so check they're still actually there.
