@M Arif Khan. Sir, I had few things on my mind when I pulled my bulbs out; 1. There was too much peat moss in old soil which I thought was the cause of unnecessary humidity and I wanted to give them a medium with better drainage. 2. Fresh soil must contain more nutrients 3. Old soil wasn't selected ...

@M Arif Khan
As I said earlier, I intend to replace the peat moss mixed soil with fresh river sand for better drainage.
Isn't this the right season to do this?
What do u advise?

Just dug out these amaryllis bulbs. They seem to be dry and healthy.
However one of the bulbs had this powdered white foam like thing on its roots.
Don't know whether this is some kind of disease or not. Anybody?

@mustansir billa. Thanks for replying

@suffi. Thanks for replying. But as I already mentioned in my comment earlier, a couple of fungicides have already been tried. Which specific (available in market) fungicide do u suggest?

Which fungicide or medicine do u suggest?

Thanks but which fungicide do u suggest?
I'm living in Rawalpindi but I've been collecting these since I was in Lahore.
Yes, most of them are imported as told by vendors (mr.raza) in most cases. However, I have recently imported few from uk and usa as well.

Plz. Ignore my last/2nd reply. @Muhammad Arif Khan. Thanks for replying. I'm not sure what the problem is. I have almost 50 Amaryllis pots and same problem exists on all of them! As u can see these recent photos, the new leaves emerging out are already dead! What I'm sure about is that the problem s...

Assalam o Alaikum, Just joined the forum. Can't stop myself from sharing same kind of problem on my amaryllis too! Initially red spots appear on leaves which get de-formed and twisted and subsequently they get pale or black and finally these leaves (mostly new one's) die/disappear http://img.tapatal...
