You can plant them outdoors then repott them and bring them indoors, let them rest for 2 months then water and feed them again and they will bloom for you after Christmas. To throw them away is a waste of a beautiful plant. It takes 5 years for them to start blooming in the first place. I know I have started them from seed.Horst in Edmontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523290699599403329noreply@blogger.com
