I haven't had issues with my Sparaxis bulbs getting some occasional dormant season water. But, I recommend you take care to make sure they are in well-draining soil, and not getting lots of water during dormancy! A word to the wise. LOTS of the photos for eBay and other online plant sales are copied (not original), enhanced, photo-shopped, etc... My photos are 100% real, legitimate, not enhanced, and the majority are straight-up pictures of my plants in my garden, and in most cases the genetics you will be getting. My listings should clarify that. I do occasionally include additional pictures that are not my pics, or my pants, but I still only use pictures that are real, and true to my plants and not enhanced photos.Thanks for looking.And...may your Garden GROW!
