Hints:
Put tulips or any bulbs in the fridge or crisper for 6-8weeks before planting they seem to perform better
Layering:
For daphne azalea and butterfly plant cut with secateurs. Make a slanted cut, choose a strong branch, take leaves off lay in fine soil and cover not too deep. Don't over water. You will see new shoots start to grow, good luck.
