Some of the bulbs rotted after being separated. Anyway, rest them until the new growth emerges, then increase water and fert.
I was informed by some senior growers here that I am supposed to separate the newest bulb when blooming has finished and leave it aside without watering or fertilising and then replant when its in growth again. Maybe they are also talking abt plant division. But thanks for the advice..I will hazard a plant soon and keep you guys updated on my efforts!
