I thought it didn’t survive, I thought I over watered but kept it, just to be sure. Wasn’t ready to throw in the towel yet!
Aforementioned neighbor, radiant!
Slow to grow, L O L I bought them around Thanksgiving, thinking they would be Christmas gifts, but that did not work.
Progress!! Multiple buds opening, is that common? ♥️😍
And it’s heart shaped! :) for now…
👏
@Armchaircouch , don't blink. She's off and runnin' now. 🥰🌺 My general rule of thumb is if an amaryllis bulb is firm, She's all right, just waiting.
I left mine outside too long last fall and they went squishy. ☹️
Oh ok! Aw man sorry about your bulbs though, @LadyZurk
@Armchaircouch , was my own stupid fault. I'll try again. 🌱
Like a true gardener, :) @LadyZurk
@Armchaircouch yes. 3 or 4 are common. you may need to stake it.
oh ok! Thank you, I will tonight as I think they’ll be open by tomorrow. @annamousse
Keep it watered. It will bloom for you. Amaryllis are very hardy.
😍😍 ty (good to know about the water, it’s possible I was not watering consistently enough).
And I have forgotten which bulb is which color, so now it will be a surprise. I’m so glad you recommended these! @LnzyHou
My sister sent this green one tinged with red. You have to keep them from drying out especially once they bloom. I can see the dirt in yours is too dry.
Have slow grower too. Can’t remember the color.
That’s so pretty.
OK, thank you! It’s hard to tell because the water sinks and it gets dense at the bottom. I will definitely keep them not thirsty when they start to flour, thank you! @LnzyHou
Feel the dirt. It should never be dry.
@Armchaircouch They are reliable!
@Armchaircouch I was late getting mine... Funny, I bought a 'surprise' bulb for cheap from a nursery that I order other bulbs from, and the bag was marked as being one of their red varieties. So the white blooms were a true surprise.
Ha! Surprise surprise. I guess I was late getting mine as well, I bought mine on the day after Black Friday. @haggardmom75
And then, when it’s neighbor started to grow, I realized the flower comes off of the other side, so I turned it around and oh my goodness!
*cue Frankenstein*
It’s alive! ALIIIEEVE! 😂👏
