To WillC:
Thank you for your reply to my above query. Fortunately my amaryllis bulbs were guaranteed to bloom, so I did return the plant that produced only foliage. Quality control on the bulbs definitely was an issue, though. Most did not turn out to be as pictured on the box, although one plant did produce two stems with gorgeous double white flowers.
Wish I could have afforded to buy my bulbs from White Flower Farm, as I know their quality of plants. As my bulbs were destined to be a donation, however, price was very much a consideration. My purchase came from a discount store, although the bulbs supposedly came from the Netherlands.
Was the lack of stem length on three of the plants also a matter of previous care, or...?
What is proper care for the plants that have now finished blooming?
Thanks again.
