A lot of talk about how easy they are to grow, but how do you plant them? I just have a ball of roots and some pipsand have no idea whether to separate them, or which way is up?

Great information THANK YOU :-)

Hi hi! Have you heard about - zrumplina diy aquaponics (should be on google have a look)? Ive seen some awesome things about it and my m8 grew excellent veggies with it.

I live in Portugal and I have just seen some of these bulbs(or rhizomes) selling in a garden shop. Here in interior Portugal we can have very cold winter , specially during the night...and also we have very hot summer time...se it might be very hard to grow one of these ...what do you recomend?

You are right. A pip is not a true bulb. Any plant that has a dormant period is considered a bulb. The rules are very confusing. An agapanthus or lily of the nile is not a bulb in California because it never goes dormant but in the NW it dies completely to the ground over the winter so it is considered a bulb. So the lily of the valley has a storage organ and that is the pip!
