The little bulblets are in the conservatory where there is no heat. I left all my corms bar one in the ground, the one was left on the table in the conservatory, I noticed today that it had a little pink shoot so I popped it in a pot.
The man who gave them to me just left them in the garden.
Last year I put them all in a seed tray in the spare room because I wasn't quite sure what to do with them.

I noticed mine shooting too, that's been in the greenhouse all winter. The little bulblets that were on the top of the pot have started too, do they need potting up now?

I'm not sure how to treat the bulblets. Last year i put some in a seed tray and covered them with compost, just like a large seed. The ones in the photo are a few I scattered on top. Some bulbs pull themselves into the ground using their roots, perhaps these will  |

I had a look at the ones in the seed tray, some are just beginning to show. I had a poke around in the soil and this is what I found  The bulblet has produced roots all over, not just from the base so I would plant them. |

 mine don't look like that yet, just a leaf shoot appearing. I'll have another look today and maybe put them in a small tray with some new compost

The ones I have in compost look healthier than the ones on the surface.
