Uhuh !! formosana, nice. If your greenhouse is frost free then as long as the bulb is now dry then you can leave it there otherwise bring it in, clean it up/trim roots & put it somewhere cold in a paper bag or on some kitchen towel & tuck it in a small plastic flower pot. I'll do a pleione re-potting blog tomorrow as I have to clean my bulbs anyway so I'll pop a few photo's up. Plus you'll see how I make the potting mix, all very easy.

Thanks very much Bampy, I've brought it in from the greenhouse, as although I hope its frost free, decided not to take a chance. Tomorrow I will take it out of the pot and tidy it up as you say, and get it tucked up till I read your next instructions tomorrow. How long does it have to stay like that.

the pleione will remain dormant till next Feb/March when you should see the bud start to grow, so just keep it dry & cold till then.
Meanwhile Picasa has decided to go belly-up on me today so hopefully I can sort something out or I will have to fins an alternative way to upload photo's to GoY.
Keep warm Cinders - - - - - - but not the pleione :-))
