Amaryllis 40 days

This is the amaryllis “Lemon Star” that we’ve been following.  It’s gussied up to take to sister’s house for Christmas so that someone who doesn’t have overgrown kittens can display it.  I will visit tonight and tomorrow.  I was thinking I might take it into work next week but it’s sooooo top heavy, and started to loosen from the soil with just a little moving around. 

Only one thing I would do differently.  I read that they don’t need much water but that’s an understatement.  These were watered only twice in 40 days and really don’t need water yet.  If I’d known that, I would have added fertilizer to the second watering.

Happy Holidays,
