A deranged gardener told me, once, that if you strike the trunks of fruit trees with a club, they will feel threatened and produce more blossoms – and presumably, more fruit. I tried this on my worsleya, and it didn’t work.

Subject: [pbs] Getting 'amaryllis' to bloom - or old wives tales

I thought I would share something that amused me. I just heard from a new gardening friend that his mother would drop her amaryllis bulbs to wake up the roots and get them to flower for Christmas. Anyone else heard of such a strange practice?
I'm pretty sure my hippeastrum will not bloom this year even if I do drop them, not a good year for them at all.
