These look wonderful.
 what soil mix do you have these potted in
 what watering regime do you use and
 where are you located?

Hi Rimmer,

i use pure mineralic soil, normally a mix of pumice, lava and zeolithe.
I start watering around september and stop when they want go dormant and the leaves start to get yellow.
Watering is different from plant to plant and it depends also on the temperatures.
When it is warmer i water about once a week, more sensible species like namaquensis only every 2 weeks and also not as much as the easiere species like coccineus .
In winter, especially when it is very cold and the greenhouse windows are closed all the time, i water every 2 weeks and the sensible species sometimes only once a month.

I live in Bavaria, southern Germany

The first Haemanthus to bloom this spring is Haemanthus montanus.  Said  by someone to be the most cold-hardy species of the genus, it looks like 5 out of 7 pots of montanus survived a temperature drop to 16 F this past winter -- the last night (of about a dozen) when the temperature outdoors dropped below 0 F (-18 C),  two of the heaters in the Haemanthus House failed.  It remains to be seen how many others of various species died or survived.

I'm in this days really glad for my summerflowering Haemanthus - maybe a result of the hot days in last time ?
Here a view from today of a tray with many flowering plants  ;D

...and more flowers will open in next days  8)

I have to say that all this plants are grown from seeds ( sowing in 2005 + 2006 ) - the seeds came from Cameron Mcmaster ( African Bulbs Nursery )

My hope is to produce in this year also some seeds  ;)

Have fun
