Our local Smith & Hawken had the kit on sale for $3.99 a month ago. I thought that was a bargain, I don’t think you could even get just the pot for that price in that store, and this kit came with the amryllis bulb, coco fiber and the ceramic planter. I bought a few, the flowers of course have all wilted, but the plants still have a good foliage and with luck if I follow the instructions carefully, I’ll have the bulbs ready for repotting next winter.

marketman,

I still have the amaryllis i bought from Holland in 1995, from it i was able to grow about a dozen more bulbs. Your right in your previous blog about flowering them, I keep them in the refs vegetable tray for about 3 months. Make sure that the bulbs are fully covered/wrapped with newspaper(no lights should penetrate the bulbs, total darkness). I normally take out and plant them about 4 weeks before I want them to be fully bloom. My success rate of flowering them is about 3 out of 4.

Great idea Marketman!! I should keep this in mind when giving gifts to friends who have almost everything. Great conversation piece at that….

I like the red ones only. The other color does not talk to me and I cannot keep them near my workstation as the bloom ejects scent that really bothers me. You can keep them in a basket propped with some floral foam in a group of 5 or 6 and cover the top with moss just an idea only. They are perennial.
