Similar question for you. One of my cats knocked my amaryllis over and all the flowering stems were broken in the fall. (It literally just began to bloom 2 days ago.) Is it possible, with support, to save the current stems and buds or will i have to cut it back?


the quicker you notice and prop them back up the
better the chances.

does it hurt anything to try? splint them like a
broken limb. wrap some card stock around them and
tie it in place, but not too tight that it bruises
the plant.


A good use for an old nylon stocking.
