Measured the leaf distance on the stalk and the lower range of leaves is at
30cm (4 leaves, now dried out) and the upper range at 44cm (healthy green
leaves, sixth one growing now.) Poor plant is lying horizonal straining
toward the sun. As soon as it gets warmer I will carry it outdoors in the
daytime.

Noticed today that an amaryllis bud is forming on one in the window. Never
seen one so late!

I also have a curious plant called a beaucarnia. Does that belong on this
list - is it a bulb? Looks like a chianti bottle with green confetti on
top. I adore it!

Hi Carol:
Beaucarnea is actually a bulboid tree. In a suitably warm
climate and in the ground it can grow to a massive 15 ft or more and with a
bottle of gigantic proportions.
Regards
Alberto
