Jeff, You cannot overpot large Amaryllids. If yours is 12 years old I would say 2 gallons is the smallest I would allow. You will get blooms faster in a larger pot. 5 gallons is the minimum size I would suggest for long-term growth. -|<ipp ________________________________ From: pbs <pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> on behalf of pj t via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Sent: Monday, October 26, 2020 5:25 PM To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Cc: pj t <fsujxt1@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [pbs] Brunsvigia Josephine I have only watered it a couple times but yes temps has fallen. I will start watering it a bit regularly now. It is in a 2 gallon pot I think. The roots fit nicely without being crowded when I got it. It is a seedling grown and about 12 or 14 years old. Large bulb that I hope to see bloom one day. Thanks for the advice.
