You know, i'm beginning to think I should have just left all my amaryllis alone and potted up, they have been on the floor of the garage for over 2 weeks and don't even look like their going to loose any of their green leaves, their not even wilted any.

I think i'm going to just pot them all back up and let them bloom when they want to, I got some others coming and I know they've been in storage and will bloom in 6 to 8 weeks after I plant them, so I'll have some flowers during the holidays.

I do have one more question though.

I have a couple bulbs, planted in hurricane glasses that have rocks in them, no soil, they always seem to have a hard time emerging in the beginning, what can I do to get them to show growth when their planted in rocks.

here's a photo of one

One of these has some mold down by the roots. So what am I doing wrong? too much water? maybe?
