amarillus
My friend is moving and gave me an amarillus bulb which is potted and just
starting to sprout about 3" or so. What do I do know to get it to bloom inside. (It's freezing now in NJ). Thanks in advance for your help. |

Put it in a sunny window and don't let it dry out and you should have a beautiful bloom in a few days. Let it have sun and food while the leaves do their thing and you will have another bloom later. If you do a google search in this group and you will find out how you can force it to bloom more often than just once a year. http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search David Giunti email: unity What is the question?

amarillus
These are one of my favorite winter plants. Sometimes it's the bloom first,
some times its just the leaves. I got the best bulbs I've had from John Scheepers this year, it's been interesting - multiple bloom stalks, but spread apart, the three bulbs have given me multiple flowers for 2 months. A semi-sunny window and you should be successful. For me, the amaryllis is a bloom to make it through the winter. Carlotta shivering in Iowa (zone 4/5) "cc0058529" wrote in message ...
