My two amaryllis plants are both in transition.
The one with leaves is slowly opening up. The other one, with no leaves, that has a beautiful large flower on top, is in trouble! The flower is too heavy for the stem, so the stem just keeled over!
First I tried putting the whole pot (with soil and flower) into a tall vase to support the stem - but the flower faced downwards.
Finally I just cut the flower off the bulb and put the stem into a vase of water. Beautiful! Now I can enjoy the flower as long as it lasts.
I'm continuing to water the bulb in hopes that it will develop leaves and continue developing for another blooming season.
