Just added Amaryllis 'Diva' to my collection on the basis of shape of flowers. Colour is either pink or red. The last image is of 'Double Delight' which i didn't buy and now regret not buying it. The shape of 'Double Delight' amaryllis is very unusual & fantastic and steals the show.

Below are the link where the images of these varieties can be seen. The first two are images of 'Diva' which is either pink or red and the last image is of 'Double Delight'.

Sir I have planted your gifted bulbs on October 18th, 2012. Now I have stop watering them as instructed by Izhar on phone, he told me to start watering in the last week of February 2014. I have few questions:

Is there any need of DAP or NPK or any other fertilizer? Please tell me quantity as well.

When will these bulbs produce child bulbs? and when will I separate these bulblets from parents?

I have planted 5 bulbs each in two 16-inch pots.

The bulbs I sent you were baby bulbs and not mature bulbs, don't expect them to bloom this spring, do not stop water, let them grow. Fertilise with NPK 2-1-3 diluted to 600 part Nitrogen per Million twice a month.
You can contact me on 3214639444 for further clarification if required.
