| Hi,
My Amaryllis started to bloomed a few weeks ago. The stem was so large that it snapped off before the flowers opened. So I put it in water where the 5 flowers opened up. Of the 5 flowers, 2 were pollinated & have developed seed pods. One of them is about the size of a kumquat, nice and firm, a bright green color. The other seems very slow developing and may not make it. How can I tell when the seed pod is ripe? Has anyone out there grown amaryllis from seed? any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,
|

| Hi Elsie, It will start to change color and eventually turn tan/brown and burst open. I haven't had a chance to grow from seed yet. There is a forum for Amaryllis. There's lots of great people and information for them there. Good luck with them, |

| Thanks for the info JoJo. I did not know there was a forum for Amaryllis. I will check there also. Elsie |

| I have abouut 10 plants of the species. I have failed to germinate any seeds yet. I need a lesson on this, I know the seeds must be black before they are ripe, and fully developed. That all that I know. |

| I am growing Amaryllis (Hippeastrum correctly) from seeds and they are very easy to germinate and grow. They just require warmer temperature to sprout. Here is a pic of my 4 month old seedlings ready to put in individual pots:
