Life is "mind over matter". If I d
HEYYY! Sally!!! I "resemble" your remark!!! Rolling on the floor laughing
It's dedication to sick and perverse need to single-handedly restock the flora of the planet! nodding I told you so!!! I told you so!!!

I am so tickled reading all youse comments on rooting Brugs.
YUP! They DO root easily! I have to try the cup idea.
So far--I have always used 5" nursery pots. Due to my "garbage picking
and saving EVERYTHING compulsion -- I have plenty of pots.

On the question on when to bring your sprouting Amaryllis up to warmer places-- I believe you can do that when you see the tips of leaves or buds
showing on top of the bulb.
A couple of mine are sprouting leaves--but I just put them in the shop a few weeks ago! Many times the leaves come first--and sometimes--that is ALL I get. I'll wait a while before I bring thee upstairs.

I am anxious to see how my Amaryllis perform as it was the 1st time I planted them outside. The bulbs sure looked robust and there were piles of roots.

HAY, SALLY!!! --Wanted to let you know that my Cobra Calathea is doing very well.
When I re potted it--I did some root trimming too. Pulled off some of the bulbous water-roots. Left enough so it can grow on.
It seems very happy in it's bigger pot and seems to be getting taller. Also--I see a lot of new shoots coming up from the roots. YAY!!
