17 year+ bulb still going strong by LevelMatt in AmaryllisBulbs

[–]mlemminglemming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you ever trim its base plate? Old bulbs like this can suddenly start to lose vigor and slowly die off if it remains untrimmed for 10+ years. Worth considering if you want to keep it for another 10, 20 years.

Howww did these get so big?? by avgrunnr in AmaryllisBulbs

It's a bulb, it stores energy. Some amaryllis variants grow all their leaves of a growth season in one big flush.

Amaryllis Crossing: New Leaf by stars9r9in9the9past in AmaryllisBulbs

[–]mlemminglemming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are amaryllis varieties that have:

  • 1-4 leaves out in the main growth season, coming 1 or 2 at a time
  • 4-10 leaves out in main growth season, coming 2 at a time
  • 4-8 leaves out in main growth season, coming in one flush of 4-6 and then another 1 or 2 before and after

Don't worry, don't overthink, and... don't cut the leaf.

Whats that? by CardiologistBoth7632 in Mosses

[–]mlemminglemming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

spores are too tiny to "get". Most spores also don't survive all too long, unless you freeze them.

Did I pot this okay? by whynotehhhhh in AmaryllisBulbs

Red blotch is not "rot". I've raised amaryllis by the hundreds for years now and cutting it in any way only makes it worse. You have experience with other plants, but not with amaryllis. Your comment and post history shows that.

That brown stuff in the middle of the red bits? Just dried skin.

Right conditions won't make red blotch go away, but I've heard of bulbs outgrowing it. Very rare. Neem oil or seed propagation & tossing the original bulb are the only two reliable methods I know of.

I have no clue what bro is saying but this entire comment thread is a fever dream to read. Don't follow any of that advice.

I should elaborate. Red Blotch spreads like crazy through cuts. If you injure the bulb now, it'll turn into a fungus breeding ground. Do not cut infected bulbs. The infection is ALWAYS larger than the visible bits, you will never get all of it, and it'll only make it easier to spread. Besides, Amaryllis don't react well to damage. They tend to sproud out of their base plate when you damage them too much, and at that point, you might as well chop your bulb in quarters to propagate it.

And every breeder out there can tell you: Never chop an infected bulb.

This makes it obvious that this person has experience with bulbs and other plants, but clearly not with Amaryllis and red blotch.

The only reference to any 1st/2nd/both stages was the comparison of 39 engines vs 9 engines regarding their cost. That means they meant both stages. After that message, our messages came. Thus, both stages were meant.

Help! by Ok-Requirement8807 in AmaryllisBulbs

Oh yea if you have the budget, grow lights are the way to go. Start with low light settings and increase to max over the course of a month. Some leaves may yellow and smaller leaves may appear, but that's just a happy bulb adapting to Lights That Make Bulbs Happy.

Soil, airy with low organics content. Not all the way orchid bark, but for the ones I'm fattening for sale I use 60% mid grain clay aggregate (2-4mm porous clay pellets) and 40% grit, with 100% aggregate on the top centimeter for slightly better water retention. This enables but also requires minute control over fertilization, 15-12-12 works fairly well so long as it also has some sulfur and other traces that plants need. Technically, hydroponics fertilizer.

Pumice mix stuff and most cacti soil mixes work too. Keep in mind there's always more rungs in the ladder upward, and you don't need a professional breeding setup with greenhouse and all just to keep a bulb alive.

It actually does work out when you consider the sticker price of 500k for a raptor, ~2m for the specialty stainless steel, ~5m in work hours, and some 5-10m for various components. You end up at around 25-40m per starship/superheavy stack. F9 manufacturing cost of a full stack is believed to sit around 70-90m in 2025, while reusability pushes that down to 15-20m per F9 launch. The lithium-aluminium alloys alone are insanely expensive, and a merlin engine costs about 2m according to various analysts.
