I really dove into amaryllis this year and spent all of my excess budget on bulbs. Now one of them has a greenish, grey mold growing on it. Can I spray the exposed part of the bulb with an anti-fungal product and kill it?!?
I don't want to lose a single one of them. It's either a Red Lion or Picote. I know it is a common and "plain one", but I like the colors and even these are expensive at $7 a bulb! I do have 2 small Butterfly Amaryllis, but thank goodness, they seem to be fine so far (different pot).
I have them on a table, with the regular light on all day and off at night. I water them about once a week. Am I doing this correctly? Or did I cause this mold? And how?
I'm rambling. Help :)
