Ina, I'd suggest you go for 4 to 5 years in the same pot. Repotting Haemanthus seedlings in the second year resulted in bulbs that grew very slowly and took 10-12 years to bloom. Now I plant most South African amaryllid seeds one to a pot and leave it there for 5 years or until it has bloomed. Jim Shields At 06:36 PM 1/21/2013 +1300, you wrote: >Thanks Arnold.
