Hippeastrum Mandoni
Chad Cox (Sun, 21 Jan 2018 06:57:16 PST)
Hi Jim,
I use a mix that is around 60 or 70% pumice and the rest organic matter , usually high-quality potting soil. I keep about 2/3 of the bulb exposed. By the way all my advice was learned from Diana Chapman of Telos Rare Bulbs. She has a blog (The Bulb Maven) That has a lot of really good and specific information about growing Hippeastrum species. I hope this helps and good luck!

Hi Jim,
I keep my H. Mandoni mostly dry. I don't give it any water in the winter time and water it about once a week during active growth. I try to let it dry out pretty good in between waterings. I like to use hydroponic fertilizer with most waterings, But sometimes I use a granular bulb fertilizer after which I skip the hydroponic stuff for awhile. I think patience is the main trick to get them to flower. :-)

Dear Chad,
What soil mix do you use and how much of the bulb is exposed? These both seem very appropriate for good culture.
Best Jim W.

I'm getting out of the Eucomis business. If you'd like an instant collection, please let me know. I only ask that you pay for shippingE. or arrange for pick-up. Some of these are a little hefty. A list of the collection is posted below. There are between 1 and 6 of each, most are only 1 or 2 each. Some have a few offsets. If there had been more, I would have sent these to the BX for distribution, but there just aren't numbers for that. If interested, you can contact me directly at jwickham@sbcglobal.net. Thanks,
