This is a very incomplete piece of information about growing saffron which I have been doing in Michigan for over 30 years. Saffron requires a cold climate to survive. It is dormant from late spring and all summer long. I sprouts in the fall of the year and blooms immediately. It then continues to grow throughout the fall and early winter, but is stays green for the entire winter regardless of the severity of the cold. In late winter when the snow melts there lies the still green saffron leaves much like very long grass leaves. As the temp warms in spring the saffron becomes dormant as the heat of summer arrives and then stays dormant all summer long. It sprouts again as the fall temp cools and begins the cycle again. Cold temp is an absolute must for saffron growth and survival. Saffron corms should be purchased in summer and planted outdoors to experience the cold of the fall whether in a pot or not. This is very important. It also should be kept out of doors all winter long.
@Isaiah Sagwar What exactly do you mean. Where are you located and what is your experience? My point in my comments is that growing saffron in a pot should not imply that saffron could be grown indoors as might be assumed with a pot planting. A 4 season environment is mandatory for its life cycle. The original video does not mention this.
@@bbobading so you don't dig it up in the winter that's good. Does it propagate by itself from the bulbs. I live in central Ohio and thought about starting a small farm. Saffron and lavender are what I am thinking so far. Lavender seems straight forward, saffron on the other hand not so much. But if it doesn't have to be dug up and reproduces itself it would be something to experiment with.
@@georgelahmon4539 The saffron corms enlarge and cleave as the plant grows through the years. To propagate them, the plants should be dug up in the summer dormant season in order to separate the cleaved corms and then replant them. The roots of the plant also grow little baby corms at the ends of the roots which theoretically can be separated replanted but I have never tried this as the baby corms have always been quite small. I theory the root corms should form new plants and produce flowers but this has not happened with my plants. I think this because I have not kept up with an annual fertilizer plan to induce reproduction. I guess I am just happy with amount of saffron that I get each year. I hope this helps.
Hello i planted single seed of saffron in plastic mug in mumbai region temp aprrox 30 to 32 NW it's been around 20 days i can see only root growth but der no growth above soil as plant what should be done next ?
I keep plant in sunlight for 4 hours moring 6 to 10 approx thn i keep it in shades is that ok to achive 25 degree temperature or what else should i do ?
I have bought 10 bulbs this year most of them from Kashmir this year let's see as previous year I have already grown Hyacinth, Daffodil, dutch Iris, tulip, freesia
I absolutely adore your videos! Such great Info's! One question, should I just take the stigma or dehead the flowers altogether and then take the saffron?
Nice video. Give an update, weather kesar is really obtained or not. Because I came to know that pulling out bulb after season will damage the bulb and production
Hello Mohit. Hope you are doing good. I have planted about 10 Saffron bulbs. However i would like to know on how to store the new saffron bulbs for next year. Thank you and best regards.

No, it won't grow well in Mumbai because of the moist climate. It needs a cold-ish temperate with mountainous clayey soil rich in calcium carbonate and organic matter.
Fine river sand is not available in mumbai..instead of river sand masons use reti (black sand or something coarse, I do not know, they call it reti, so I mentioned it as reti) while they construct building... can I use that?
@@vrushalipurandare9015 we can grow saffron in mumbai. we have to make a cold transparent box first.it is made as a diy fridge is made but the thing is it is transparent. so 3*C temperature is formed and in that atmosphere saffron grows very easily. you can chek videos of how to make fridge at home and build your own box fro saffron!
dear urban gardener plz let me know k required temperature kiya hai to grow saffron or kab kasht karna chahiye and one more thing is it possible to grow saffron in climate control green house in tropical areas ...
inhae 15-18 degree se nichae temp achcha lagta hai...tabhi flowering hoti hai...green house jaha temp control ho sakae waha aap inhae grow kar saktae hoo ..garmi ya zyada temp mae plant ki leaf burn ho jati hai ..aur growth ruk jati hai
@@shwetajune82 perhaps no snow though. I have not been to India. But I thought if I ever go there, I'll but saffron bulbs. But now I know they dont grow in tropical lands.
@@eduardochavacano The northern part of India contains some part of the mountain range that also has Mt Everest (Everest is in Nepal though). So yes, plenty of places in India have snow throughout the year. Historically, India has also been the top 5 producers of saffron in the world, ofcourse Iran produces most of the saffron consumed in the world. India also has quite a long history of using Kesar (saffron) other than food and medicines, saffron was also used by Hindu and Buddhist monks to colour their robes, so it has religious importance as well.
Nice video. Thank you. Looking for an update? How well is it growing now in that pot? Did they not only survive but produce well? Looking forward to further info. Thank you
@@urbangardeningofficial would like to know the reason , what's the room temperature required , I strongly believe nothing is impossible with current modern agriculture.

Informative video. I died when he pointed and said, 'this is the bottom of the plant and this part is the top'.

@UrbanGardening When Did you Plant them and what are the temperature ranges in your area that the plant Flowered in ? is it very cold or hot ?
I don't think he was able to get flowers because the picture that he showed in the end of the video is a different picture from Google
liked you video and gave a thumb up. lovely accent and time consciousness.
Thank you for the info vedio... Would be great if you can make a vedio on how to harvest saffron and at what stage of flowering... Looking forward

How often should I water a flowerpot, after planting bulbs indoor(in the room)?
Hello i planted single seed of saffron in plastic mug in mumbai region temp aprrox 30 to 32 NW it's been around 20 days i can see only root growth but der no growth above soil as plant what should be done next ?
They normally need temperature below 25 degree Celsius for thr healthy growth
I keep plant in sunlight for 4 hours moring 6 to 10 approx thn i keep it in shades is that ok to achive 25 degree temperature or what else should i do ?
And evng and night times it drop down till 23

Can this be grown in Mumbai's climate !?
No, it won't grow well in Mumbai because of the moist climate. It needs a cold-ish temperate with mountainous clayey soil rich in calcium carbonate and organic matter.
What's the outdoor temperature required?will it grow in south part of India like Karnataka Kerala?
Yes you can grow in Karnataka and Kerala
Which temperature is good for Saffron
20 to 5 degree celsius
I just like the flowers,,,,a lady gave me some,,,she said ,they give flower in may,,she is from Mexico n she call them may flowers,,
