The pot had been sitting on the window sill looking sad, there suddenly it has a plant in it, leaves and loads of flowers.  Quite amazing.  Free bonus!

My question is should I feed it and if so what?

[Palustris]

Half strength Baby Bio or Maxicrop.

as mentioned any liquid feed thats a little under strength  should do the job  however maybe just a repot with fresh compost will see it thru another year they should last a good few years  trick is not to over water hope this helps

You say do not over water.  How much do you recommend?  I just tend to put water into the dish below and then tip away any that remains after about five minutes so the corm stays dry.

I normally throw them into the garden.  Never had a resurrection before.  And it has a huge number of flower buds,

yes indeed thats the way water from below sounds like your doing the right thing

Strange how we all do thins different but get good results, I will not water any plant from the bottom as any plant we have in a pot gets water from the top when grown outside rain comes down not up. I believe the secret is not to give water when it is not needed all plants at sometime get on the dry side but please do what suits you .
