I wasn't sure where in the newer forum arrangement to post this, but more than half of last year's cheap Walmart amaryllis and paperwhites have now just popped right up into leaf, despite abysmal care since last year.

This group of crappy plastic pots now sits on a glass-topped antique sewing machine where morning sun hits it briefly and bright but indirect light hits it all day. I'm seriously missing my starter garden at our Ohio eventual-retirement house, that I will not see til slushy February; my PA schedule does not bode well for much else in plant longevity. I think I shall buy and chill a few more to start later and rotate when the present group browns out; I've got a much better spot for their dormancy now, and can anticipate a longer and earlier start for the rotation next year!
