Re: Roof top Amaryllis Garden
Sir i think the cemented roof top will get very hot in summers, besides Green Top, Few inches or soil/insulation of some sort can be used to keep the pots cool.

Re: Roof top Amaryllis Garden
I have grown many plants on rooftop in small pots... none of them showed any damage from sun during summers... but there is a difference between Karachi and Lahore climate...

I have two friends growing amaryllis on roof for the last many years without even a green net. I hope mine will do well.
