requesting shipping advice for bulbs not yet died back
Comments (4)Well, if you want to do what is best for the bulbs and the person receiving them let them go dormant when they want to and then ship later this year. This will ensure that the bulbs/rhizomes have stored up plenty of energy for next years growth. Best of luck with your decision :o) Dan...See Moreamaryllis now growing second set of leaves
Comments (3)Stop cutting the leaves. I hope that you didn't them all, or even most of them. That's what creates the energy that the bulb stores to rebloom. Break the vase (if you must) and repot the entire thing, new bulb leaves and all. Never cut green leaves off of an amaryllis. If you don't like the way it looks with the leaves, put it out in the yard or fire escape where it gets light but you can't see it until it starts to get cold in your area. It will not rebloom if you remove the leaves. You don't need to separate the new forming bulbs that are sending up leaves. Just break the vase and repot the entire thing with some potting mix in a larger pot. Even if you bloom them in water, you still have to plant them in soil afterwards, so you were right to add dirt. Give it some fertilizer too....See MoreAmaryllis has no leaves after flowering?
Comments (6)You need to dig your finger way down into the pot! If your pot is sitting in something without drainage, the surface of the soil could be dry, but the roots may be sitting in damp soil and are rotting!! Hippeastrum hate to have wet feet and they protest just as you have described. They pout and then they die! Please check the soil down around the roots and give the soil some better drainage! I don't know what you mean by a container that hugs the bulb. You don't need a great photo to give us an idea of what's going on....See MoreWeird markings on my amaryllis leaves (Please help!)
Comments (8)Hello oleg9grower thank you for your help! I was still able to rescue the ones that I threw away in the trash. So dumb of me! Ugh. I just wanted to protect the big one if it was something else. They have a little damage but they will be alright I hope! I tried to inspect the leaves as you asked and near the base of the leaves and the bulb I was able to find a few small little insects on my largest bulb. The smallest bulb I have (the golf ball sized one) had some pealing on its bulb and when that layer flaked off a few of the little bug scattered. I'm afraid they are probably hiding in the flaky parts of the bulbs as well. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this? Is there an acaricide separately for spider mites vs thrips? How do I know which one I have? The don't really have a long green body like I saw some thrips having, so I want to say spider mites but I am not sure....See MoreRelated Professionals
