Amaryllis Update (Last of 2008)

Amaryllis

The Amaryllises have moved into the next phase - the growth phase. Now the blooms have died, and the stalks removed, the plants are moved outside, because there's no fear of frost and the small flies that inhabit the dead leaves from last year are too annoying inside the house. So now we must keep them wet and well fed for 5 months, then dry them out, in the airing cupboard for replanting around mid-December, and new flowers for Christmas - I hope. Lets see how it goes.
