I have always wanted to grow an Amaryllis, and @Pacnorwest's encouragement had me seeking one. They wouldn't ship to me on line due to the colder temperatures ( no living items that may freeze). I finally had the good timing to find one in the local little hardware store. The variety is Apple Blossom. When it came out of the box, it already had new growth. I potted into a larger pot than the one provided, as I'm hoping to keep it going after the blossoms are spent. I am a little concerned about the damaged shoot that was present when I opened it. It's only been four days, and the main shoot has grown considerably. I'm assuming this will be where the blossoms come from. Has anyone had this type of damage? I'm hoping it will just grow out, although I'm unsure if it is going to be leaves? Any advice from the Amaryllis growers out there would be appreciated. I'm very excited to finally be able to grow this beauty.
