Saffron (Kesar) bulbs will germinate when the daytime temperature doesn't exceed 25°C and will only bloom when the temperature stays below 10°C during the day. Please research your local climate before planting kesar bulbs, as saffron requires specific cold conditions to flower and won't be suitable for every region in India. These bulbs are authentic Kashmiri saffron, sourced directly from farmers in Kashmir.

How To Grow Kashmiri Saffron Bulbs 

Choose the Right Bulbs
Make sure you obtain high-quality Kashmiri saffron bulbs from a reputable source.

Select the Containers 
Use pots or containers that are 12-22 cm deep in size. Ensure they have proper drainage holes at the bottom to prevent waterlogging.

Prepare the Soil
Saffron requires well-draining soil. You can amend your potting mix with organic matter (like compost) to improve soil quality. Fill the containers with this mix, leaving some space at the top.

Plant the Bulbs
Space the bulbs 10-15 cm apart and plant them about 5-10 cm deep. Ensure the pointed end faces upwards.

Watering
After planting, water the pots thoroughly to help the soil settle. Be careful not to overwater, as saffron bulbs don't like excessive moisture. Water only when the top inch of soil is dry.

Sunlight
Place the pots in a location that receives full sunlight, ideally at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Mulching
Apply a thin layer of mulch to the top of the soil to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature. It also helps suppress weeds.

Fertilization 
Saffron doesn't require heavy fertilization. You can use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer sparingly during the growing season, but avoid over-fertilizing.

Winter Care
If you live in an area with cold winters, protect the pots by moving them to a sheltered location or insulating them to prevent freezing. Saffron bulbs require a period of dormancy during the winter.

Harvesting
Saffron typically blooms in the autumn, around October or November. Harvest the crimson saffron threads shortly after the flowers open, preferably in the morning when they are at their most vibrant and flavorful.

Maintenance
After the blooming season, allow the saffron plants to rest in winter. In the following spring, they will start growing again.
