I received a catalog from White Flower Farm, which showed amaryllis grown in a vase, without dirt. If you do this, the bulb will only last for one year. It cannot be replanted.
I was intrigued. I have grown potted amaryllis before and had limited success with getting them to bloom after the first year.
The photos showed stunning centerpieces. However, at $25 a bulb, I did not want to experiment. I read on the internet that you may have limited success in this endeavor.
I bought a $5 bulb at Stop and Shop and decided to "plant" it on glass pebbles. I am hoping that it will grow and not rot. Jeff's comment was that if it blooms we will probably be away!
