dormant seedlings

Ina,

I'd suggest you go for 4 to 5 years in the same pot. Repotting Haemanthus
seedlings in the second year resulted in bulbs that grew very slowly and
took 10-12 years to bloom.

Now I plant most South African amaryllid seeds one to a pot and leave it
there for 5 years or until it has bloomed.

Most of the SA bulbs I grow I leave for 2-3 years in the same pot they

were germinating in. I found a complications trying to repot them. The
small bulblets are very easy to confuse with perlite which I find in many
potting mixes.
