The December RHS magazine arrived today with a feature article about Amaryllis (or, as they are now called Hippeastrum). This is their website version https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/hippeastrum/growing-guide

That was very interesting and helpful. Thank you.
I had no idea you could grow from seed. This is very exciting.

Main stem is 36cm this morning. I’m no expert, but it looks like a 4th bud is appearing. What do you think?

Looks like a low down bud! Better get some supports in place or put the pot in a heavy weight bowl to prevent it toppling over. (Don't ask me how I know

Wonder how many flowers there will be on that bud? Two or four?? So exciting.

I can definitely see 2. But there may be more in there.
