Haemanthus humilis

Thanks Kipp,

This is a "summer growing" Haemanthus. As such, here in Delaware, US, it sends up a flower mid to late summer, and leaves a bit later, but not (at least for this plant) in a rigidly defined sequence. That means that my plant is now at or near the end of its growth for this season and I expect the leaves to begin to yellow at the tips, with the likelihood of their being more or less "gone" by spring. No new leaf growth likely until July/August. So, by your measure repotting in Sept. or Oct.?

Steve

Greetings,
You cannot overpot Amaryllids (from their perspective - you're back my beg to differ) and in my experience transplating when the bulb is in active growth is best. That means when the bulb has started growth for the season or when it's leaves are still expanding. I would not try to repot an Amaryllid going into dormancy.
