What did you do for the soak? I was gifted a few amaryllis for the holidays and didn't come across that when I did my research on them.

I am floored with how fast these guys grow though! Super neat!

@jkdykes I used a stemless wine glass and you soak just the roots for 12/24 hours in room temp water (we have well water) not city tap as that has chorine and other stuff in it so boil or use filtered. The wine glass worked perfect for my bulb sizes so the bulb didn’t get submerged
