Hi Andrew, I invite you to go to https://houzz.com/discussions/… . There are a bunch of like-minded hippeastrum nuts (me included) there that can help you. Also there is an extensive archive that will answer just about any question you have regarding hippeastrum. Warm Regards, Fred -----Original Message----- From: pbs <pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> On Behalf Of Andrew Middlemiss Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2018 8:40 AM To: pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net Subject: [pbs] Hippeastrum cultivars & growing bulbs Hi ! Here’s hoping someone can help me ! I grow the commercially available cultivars of Hippeastrum, and have started to seek to grow them on from year to year. When one buys them they’ll come typically with a pot and compost, and ones advised to plant them with a third to a half of the bulb showing. All’s well so far as the leaves are often emerging after the flowers; after the flowering the leaves typically end up flopping about - and I can’t help wondering about the growth habit (of the parents) in the wild. Do any of you good souks know how deep they typically grow/ are planted outdoors? Many thanks for reading this diatribe!
