Well Plocket,the plant was on the lean, so we tied a piece of cotton from plant to scissors to pull it upright.

Mine seems as though it is starting to open before it is high enough .......is that normal? The stem is only about 6 inches at the moment?

Hi Plocket,put some more pics on here when they come out,how tall is yours,to top of stalk?
|
|
|

Post by Plocket on Feb 1, 2008 9:14:58 GMT
I certainly will post more piccies, but at the moment I have no idea how tall it is. I'll go and measure it when I've eaten my brekkie!!! ;D

Post by Plocket on Feb 1, 2008 9:19:34 GMT
From the crown of the bulb to the top of the stalk (not including the bulb or the bud) it measures 19 inches. With the bud it measures 24 inches |

Post by Rosefriend on Feb 1, 2008 9:35:20 GMT
I have definitely got a problem then - will take a pic of mine and measure it as well.

Ok here we are then......... the new DWARF Amaryllis variety. It measures 6 and a half inches to the bud and the bud is nearly 3 and a half inches - so that makes it a fantastic 10 inches. I have just watered it as well.  |

With the bud it measures 24 inches I beat you by 1inch then,measureing from/to the same as you did. How do you go about watering yours then Plocket,do you water from the bottom.as i do,or from the top? |
|
|
|
Post by Plocket on Feb 1, 2008 12:08:23 GMT
Erm... I just water it! I haven't actually thought. Sometimes it's from the top and sometimes from the bottom probably. And since the bud got to a reasonable size I've been watering with plant food too |
