A white trumpet with good form and often five flowers per stem.
Large 22-24 cm bulbs have grown for the last year in our greenhouse. I would expect 1-3 flowering stems.
Very limited.
Amaryllis
can be planted in a small pot (not much larger than the bulb) 4 X 4 Is
big enough for 24 cm Cir bulbs. You want about ½ an inch to an inch
between the bulb and the edge of the pot.
Plant
your amaryllis with part of the bulb out of the soil. In fact, in pots
sometimes the whole bulb is above the soil, so that the roots can have
more soil under the bulb to grow into. Also this prevents water from
getting into the neck of the bulb easily. Water well after planting and
then water only after the soil starts to dry out. Once every week or
so should be enough. Under watering is better than over watering.
Usually I plant them outside after they are done blooming for the first
time, but we live in Arizona so if you have frost you will need to keep
your plant inside or in a protected area so the bulb doesn’t freeze.
They are very drought and heat resistant and will re-bloom naturally in
the spring once they are established.
