Hopefully you will receive responses from the east coast growers that have like conditions to yours. However I believe there may not be a black or white answer. Amaryllids maintain their roots during dormancy. So I have been giving my winter growers some water through the summer in the greenhouse. They are in a very porous mix in clay pots. Same for the summer growers during their winter dormancy in the basement. I would like to know also. > > Ken P > Old Bridge, NJ > Zone 6 b > >> On Aug 13, 2015, at 7:50 PM, Stephen Putman <putman@pobox.upenn.edu> wrote: >> >> I'm trying to learn about Haemanthus.
