Re: Dormancy


Reading this message reminded me of a question that has been pestering me
for weeks. I have several baby Amaryllis. They aren't big enough to bloom,
yet, so I was wondering if they should have a period of dormancy, too?
They're so small I'm kind of afraid they'll just dry up to nothing!
