Andidandi........ Getting back to the amaryllis seeds.....I grow a lot from my seeds...and am looking forward to seeing what the amaryllis turn into. If one has the time and inclination and doesnt mind a long term agenda, sometimes you get lucky and get an exceptional plant which hopefully after a few more years can get some viable bulbs. But this task isnt for the weak of heart..haha

I've gotten lazy here recently so don't put much effort into the seed germination process. I just get a few cheap aluminum pans, fill about 1/3 with Perlite, soak it, then scatter the seeds over the top and cover with some saran wrap. A week or so later they start to sprout at different intervals. I generally give it about a wk or 10 days and then put the sprouted ones in the dirt and pitch the rest. Then just have to sit back and wait.

I put a pic of some of my seedlings.
