Hans can you tell me more about how you sow and grow on your seeds? Are they surface sown? Does the bulb grow on the surface

Mark : Sowing of this Amaryllids seeds like Scadoxus ,Haemanthus and some other is not difficould ,
Make a bigger pot full with a mix of 50% organic + 50% mineralic material ,water it with cooking water , and after cool you can sowing .Treat the seeds like I have descriptet in a realier mail ( with H2O2 1 % ) - lay the seeds on the surface , look for the radicels , and lay a bit scoria gravel between the seeds ,some weeks later will start the radicel ,and from there start the first leaves -dont disturb the seedlings ! You must be really patient -from some Scadoxus ( p.e. membranaceus ) it's need more than a year before start the leaves !!! - take this pots on a shady and warm envirement -be carefully with watering !
If you have more questions please write me !

Good luck !

Hans,

My H. coccineus never produce that dark a berry.  Mine are always bright red, never dark like that at all.  I wonder if just different provenance originally?  Interesting to see the pic of yours.

Hans,
this was a plant flowering for the first time from a bought bulb.
I was told it was very expensive.
I presume it will not set seed in our country.
