I'm trying to learn about Haemanthus. I've had reasonable success with
the summer growing and the evergreen species, but less satisfactory results
with winter growing.

What is the trigger for new growth in these winter growing species in
autumn? Is it temperature? This would mean to wait for an appropriate
temperature and then water. If the trigger is water, then the issue would
be at what temperatures would a moist medium be beneficial, and when fatal?

Any other bits of knowledge about this topic would be gladly received by
me, and possibly others who are not yet expert in the growing of these most
interesting plants.

Regards,

Stephen Putman in central Delaware about a mile from the Delaware Bay, in
the middle of the Cedar Swamp Wildlife Management Area. No potted plants
in bloom, but a nice show in the garden.
