Comments (205)Hi Emily, Hmmm, I have never used a dome or terrarium. There have been several posts where closing them up caused problems. I do believe fresh moving air is important. As far as the planting mix, these ingredients are good. I do usually have some potting soil in the mix, and lots of orchid bark. Another thing to remember, these plants need time to settle in and adjust after they have been moved or shipped . Not uncommon to loose a few older leaves and they can look wilted for a while. i have revived some of my friends plants before with no roots. As long as the stem is solid, not rotting, it can regrow roots. I like to dust with Rootone when repotting. Be sure not to let your plant sit in standing water. It is sometimes possible to root in water, but I would just start with your soil mix. Do you live in the US? I am asking because late spring and summer is the best time to get a new plant going. Just be patient, I think it will start growing for you. Barb...See MoreAmaryllis Snow White, Exotica, Flamingo, Blushing Bride...
Comments (43)I don't have to worry about the light fading colors so much, though it is something to bear in mind. The windows here get only a few hours of afternoon sun, and this time of year till spring, it's that weak winter light, and is seldom strong enough for me to bother with. However, there are some hybrids and perhaps species that need light to develop some of their coloration. The color is just better from some exposure to light. Trial and error will show which ones need how much under specific exposures and would naturally vary widely in our different locals and situations. A 'Red Lion', for instance, will color up red in total darkness. You can see how red they are even before the bud-spathes are fully parted. I imagine the self-colored solids would "need" less light to color up well, but again, each one should be tested to satisfy each of us as to what works best. Other hybrids that are white or lightly colored with an overlay of colored veins, blushes or markings, seem to need light to develop properly. That's just my experience and seem to happen for others (particularly those in the Northeast) who not only have poor winter light but often flower their plants away form direct sun, brief as it is in winter for them. In discussing the "disappointing" colors (according to both our estimations) the lack of light in some bi-colors as I described above, the most frequent circumstance was the poor light. Your mileage may vary. Robert....See MoreTropical Plants--DSBG (Photo heavy)
