I am a newbe to the forum, have not posted before. I hope I am at the right
address. I purchased Rhodophiala bifida seed from the seed offerings, I
planted them in a mix of Faffard potting soil with added sand. The pot was
put in my greenhouse, intermediate temps. and I now have about 9 shoots
coming up that are about 2" tall at this point and very skinny.

I need to know what I need to do with them right now, I think it is too
cold to put them outside. Do they need very bright sun, part shade ect?
When do I transplant them to individual pots and that sort of information.
I am a retired perennial propagator but have never done much with bulb
seed. Your help will be very much appreciated.

I live on the border between Zones 6B and 7A. I believe that this is the
plant that I have seen in a yard near here, it looked like a red amaryllis
with a white stripe down the middle of each petal. Before I could ask if I
could have a bit of it the house was sold and the new owner tore them all
out and probably threw them in the trash.

I hope this is what they were and I can hopefully establish them in my
garden, if I can find the right microclimate for them. I am anxious to try
some of the hardy
Lycoris, there is a single L. radiata down the road and I have a patch of
what I believe are L.squamiera.

Any help or suggestions you can give will be very much appreciated.
