Title: Amaryllis lily
Post by: jesssands on January 14, 2008, 11:33:37

Another question, can anyone help me get it right?

Christmas 06 I had a beautiful Amaryllis, my mother told me that I had to feed it with tomato feed or it would not flower this year. So all through 07 I fed it, and the bulb is now massive. I thought the leaves would die off at some point and thats when I would rest it before getting her going again, the leaves are still green and healthy looking now and although she has had a baby in the pot, no blooms this year.

Any ideas please ?
Thanks Sandra
