Hi, I started two bulbs (from EasyToGrow) last Saturday. This's the first for me growing Amaryllis. The two are Samba and Blossom Peacock. So far, almost 6 days, nothing showing yet (no sign of green, bud). I don't know why these ETG bulbs arrived with no bud? (I saw many bulbs in big name store like HD, WM all having some buds out already, some even short stalk.) But the two ETG bulbs I received are really good big size, especially the Samba. I planted them in two glass containers with water and hydroballs (copied from Tarev). I expect the new green/bud will come out in maybe 2 weeks and hope they will bloom b4 or at Christmas. Right now I have a bit concern on not enough light for them and maybe the coming winter low temp. I wonder if anyone is doing the same this time? Maybe I can check with your growing process along? At least many of you must have previous experience on starting growing Amaryllis from fresh bulbs. Thank you for sharing and advice.
If a plant looks good, smells good, don't eat it, grow it!
