Looking for advice on Hippeastrum seed germination
Comments (12)I've seen a water method for starting seeds described on the Amaryllis/Hippeastrum forum, but this species has seeds that are round and fat, different from the hybrids. From the little bit I've gleaned so far, these should be planted in a gritty seed starting mix and watered from the bottom. But I don't know whether to leave them in the garage under lights (very cool) or bring them into the house (less cool). I also have a small heat mat I could put them on if they want to be warmer. If you have Veronica Read's book and can see if she mentions germination preferences for this particular species, I would appreciate it....See MoreHippeastrum 'Silhouette'
Comments (8)Thanks y'all for the nice comments. Yes, it has the white stripe in the middle of the roundish leaves with the underside of the leaves being red. A third scape is about to start opening. Each scape had 4 flowers. The single bulb has multiplied well, just never bloomed. If you want I can post a couple more pics? I'm learning a new camera, so it take a few shots to get it right....See MoreMrs. Garfield vs. Hippeastrum reticulatum var. striatifolium
Comments (2)AJ...Mrs.G is the third pic. Both flowers and leaf. That cybister you asked about is not my hybrid...unfortunately. I have a very strong feeling it is Cyber Queen ...a mislabeld bulb last season....See MoreHippeastrum 'Cupido' A Beautiful Disaster
Comments (8)Dan, H. papilio is a bit different in my opinion, the flower as a whole is much bigger and the "wings" have much charecter where as this flower doesn't. On H. papilio the eye is centered where as "Cupido" it's a bit high for the length of the bottom most petal. Cindee, thank you :) I do absolutely NO editing on my pictures and in my opinion the color is spot on :) I do think she's beautiful even if she's imbalanced and I have NO plans to get rid of her :) Maybe she'll work it out for next season, I would love to breed her given the color! I think the "Graffiti" x reticulatum var. striatifolium could cause some SHOCKING coloring ;)...See MoreRelated Professionals
