Amaryllis - Seed propagation Male
Default Amaryllis - Seed propagation

I have been interested in seed propagation for a while now. My first and only attempt with phal stems failed and I gave up and sent a zygo seed pod to a lab ( hoping that there will be germination, still waiting to hear ).
However I have had success with amaryllis. I suppose I chose them because it also takes about 2-3 years to reach maturity from seed !
About 3 months back I selfed a pink amaryllis and seeds developed. I floated these in water, after reading up on the internet, and these germinated - I would say roughly 70%. After a single leaf developed I potted 3 up together in a 3in pot. Well today they are mostly doing well. Some were eaten by a baby possum, as they have been outdoors for 3 weeks ! The bulbs are developing, about the size of a pinkie nail. I am very curious to see how these turn out !
I will post photos a bit later...when I get my tapatalk phone.
