Amaryllis Nymph in 2yr

Looking very healthy, Kath! The shoots coming from the base on either side are new off shoots that will, in a few years' time, give you more flowers.

You can leave the bulblets in place for this year & let them all grow together or you can remove them but not until the flowers have died down or you run the risk of damaging the flowers. You could also wait till the end of the year & take the small offshoots out & pot them up individually. Don't expect to see any flowers for a few years though. Just like when they grow from seed they will need 3-4 years to bulk up to flowering size. (How do you think I ended up with so many?)

Thankyou David this is all down your expert help .

I am so thrilled as have never grown these beauties before.

Next update photo will be taken at weekend.

I have had to stake it today.

They do make very beautiful plants, don't they? I'll soon have another "victim" to add to my list! LOL! :-D))

Love to see another photo of the plant as it comes into flower! I have to take photos every day as there are more & more coming into flower!

Yes, they do need staking! The flower heads can get very heavy & even when they are in the best possible light they still tend to grow so tall the stalk has difficulty holding the head up! I have had several that have opened a couple of flowers overnight & in the morning I find the stems bent almost down to the table!

A few days ago one fell over, even with a stick to hold the flower up, while I was sitting here at the computer - it was too heavy for the pot! I normally pot flowering specimens in 6" pots. But several from last year in 5" pots have flowered unexpectedly & thus overbalanced their pots. A 6" pot is heavy enough not to fall over. I don't grow them in bigger than 6" pots, they tend to flower better with their roots restricted than with lots of space to grow into. So potbound plants flower better than plants in much bigger pots.
