My Pleione bulbs are growing already, I kept them in the shed and checked on them today and they are off! Shoots off the main bulbs are looking strong. I had 3 bulbs, it looks as if each bulb has at least 2 new growths on them. 
Is it too early to bring them in and pot them up? Mine were given to me last year already in flower, and they are not something I would normaly attempt. Bulbs tend to rot on me as I have a habbit of over watering them, I can even kill a daff!

Hi Tanis
I would pot them up, but not bring them in. When they're going to flower, you would obviously want them in the house to see them, and maybe allow them to grow from then on. Whatever you do, don't start to water until they really start to grow properly, and even then, very very gently!

Thanks Dan,
All I know about these is that they are pink and a T&M special
I have potted them and put them back in the shed with a spot near the window for light and I will see what happens from there.
