Amaryllis repotted > Starting to grow

[roseycheeks]

I peeled off the old dead leaves and skin on the bulb, and planted it and have it under the flourescent lamp. It does not show any growth at all, but I still have hope, here is the picture. I thought if I put it further down in the pot maybe it won't be as lilkely to topple the pot when and if they bloom.

The bulb looks firm so I have hope too.

I just looked at my bulb and there is a little bit of green in the middle I checked with my hubby to make sure I was not seeing things, and he said nope there is some greenery! I will try to take a picture to show you, but my photography isn't too good for the close up pictures but I will give it a shot. Could not get a clear picture, so will wait until it pokes up further. But so excited

Good for you. Maybe it will bloom soon if the bulb is large enough.

There is two bits of greenery showing, so here is hoping, I was told that if the plant had big enoughleaves there might be 6 blooms on each stalk instead of four, if so that is going to be one heck of a flower!
