I always thought it was caused by the fungal disease . I normally soak the bulbs, newly purchased or from previous years, before potting them up. I use either Immunox or 2% bleach for the soaking. I also dust the bulbs with cinnamon - read about this on the Amaryllis Forum.

ooo -- I will need to try the cinnamon! Thanks for the tip! I have soaked in 3% peroxide - the peroxide seems to bubble off the diseased areas. But will try the bleach too -- I have 2 bulbs with some red on them, but the area does not look diseased, except for the red color, so I was wondering if they were really diseased or not. How long do you soak for?
