The Hippeastrum that I rescued from someones dustbin at christmas is now in bloom in the garden..............
I don't understand growing them as houseplants. They make really good garden specimens (in pots in colder climates like ours) and only really need to be kept dry over the winter (this one was simply under the side porch which has no door or suchlike). The added bonus is that the stem doesn't get ridiculously long like it does when grown indoors.
