Hippeastrums & Potatoes

No! Nothing like that. The root systems are MASSIVE and quite healthy.
Bigger & better than I've ever seen.

The roots spread easily 4 to 12 inches away from the bulbs in each
direction (depending on the cultivar). Red Lion is the biggest. Followed
closely by Orange Soveriegn.

Did the roots of the Hippeastrums look stunted, where brittle and
conspicuously poorly developed? Then some Nematodes could be the Culprits.
