Up-Potting a Hippeastrum Bulb. 3 Apr 24.

 This Hippeastrum (Amaryllis is the popular name but not accurate) was showy and delightful this winter.  I wonder if I can keep it going for next year?

Given the small pot, it will need up-potting.  I used good potting soil the first time around, instead of that useless stuff they sell with Hippeastrum bulbs.


Since I always inspect the roots, here they are.


The roots look great, despite winding around.  The bulbs are sold without roots, so they are all new.  I didn't traumatize the fleshy roots by unwinding them.  

After.


I forgot to add bone meal.  Later.
