datgirl, they are pretty, but I don’t see any support. They don’t need support?

binnylou,Funny you should say that. I cam downstairs this morning and they were both leaning pretty close to falling over. I propped them up and now have them tied up.

I don't think I've ever had to support an amaryllis. The stalks are usually pretty hardy. How tall are those datgirl,?

desertwoman,One is 19 inches from base of stem to tip of stem. The other one is about 10 inches tall. I think they tipped because they are not sitting in those pots very deeply.

datgirl, they are pretty, but I don’t see any support. They don’t need support? Some amaryllis need support; others don't. It depends on the type. "Large Flowering Amaryllis" & "Double Amaryllis" have stems that run 18"-24", so pretty much always need support, while "Southern Hemisphere" & "Dwarf" types have much shorter, thicker stems that usually don't need support. However, any of these can end up needing support if they're grown in insufficient light which can make them "leggy". Also, some flowering stems will naturally start to flop over as the flowers pass maturity, regardless of type.

May depend more on the size and weight of the pot than the height of the stem.

The two Amaryllis in the picture sent out a second stalk and both are blooming again. I've never had them bloom twice in a row like this. Very cool.

My basil starts are now on my desk, which is up against a south facing window.

Still have two DA rose cuttings and now I have cuttings of my ivy plant rooting on the window sill.
