Thanks so much David. The name should be familiar as yours is. I'm an old bbc'er from years ago. Had a teeny little London garden and no children back then. Now a mum to 2 and in Wiltshire with a massive garden overlooking fields.
If no propagater or bag then are they just in greenhouse? Is about 10 degrees in there.
Thanks, Lyn...I've looked at the T & M site and TBH I thought the advice was about right, apart from the propagator, plastic bag and 'misting' bits.
Constant, nice to see you here....pleased my memory is still intact.
I may be wrong, but I have faint memories of you posting a pic of a rather splendid amaryllis, with a snowy backdrop on the old BBC boards......you'll correct me if I'm wrong.
PS, congratulations on now having two ankle biters and a big garden.
Sadly not me David. But the beebs boards taught me all my gardening knowledge. I have a strong feeling the lot here will do even more. I remember you talking sweet peas back then.
I have taken a pinch of everyone's advice. I bought half seed trays, packed in the toilet rolls (I had to use them - ive been saving them for 4 months) and I watered them and covered with clear tray covers. I've brought them inside - no propagater and popped them on a windowsill. Fingers crossed.
Ah well, it was still a splendid amaryllis whoever grew it.
I think you'll find this forum has a less draconian approach than the old beeb boards and (by and large) has a very friendly & helpful bunch of members.

Thanks for all advice.
