This plant has appeared at me for more than five years ago, a friend gave. Grew hemantus in a half-liter pot, had 4 sheets, the core, apparently, contained a large percentage of sand.
In my opinion, for such a bulb (diameter 2 cm) the pot was big. Replanted did not. Impression on me, this plant did not produce, decided to look in the encyclopedia. It turned out that it belongs to the family of Amaryllidaceae. Homeland -Yuzhnaya Africa, grows on the rocky slopes of the mountains, in the bushes. Especially liked the photo - on a dark background white flower with yellow stamens, the flower looks like a pompom for children's hats.
After admiring the photo, put the pot on the kitchen window (southeast side), as well as the plant does not require heavy watering, soon forgot about it.
Ros haemanthus or shaky - shakily. It turned out that more than four leaves on themselves did not keep. Lower die out - the upper grew. Over time it became annoying me. It seemed that the desired flowering will never, although onion gained weight.
The pot remained the same. Only in the warm period was made universal feeding. He opened the encyclopedia again, noted that hemantus winters at + 10-14 ° C, decided to keep it on loggias as long as possible. Two years later, for the summer period began to put a pot on a glazed loggia under the cover of larger plants. Apparently, hemantus liked such movements.
A rather long autumn was issued and relatively warm winter, hemantus spent on the loggia of 10 months out of 12, but it did not affect the tabs of the buds.
A year and a half ago I saw that the base had a babe. Looking around, I realized that this is an injured leaf (partially torn from the bulbs) gave roots and formed a bulb-crumb with a diameter of 2 mm. In vain undressed this bulb almost immediately. Baby began to stick. Put it in a box with cacti. The place she got not very successful with the shading at the wall, sometimes forgot to water, and what was my surprise when I discovered a fixed mini-rabid. The past summer was very hot, and the babe, being in the shadows, was able to form a leaflet. Closer to autumn moved the pot with baby to the window glass.
Great hemantus stood opposite the window, at the very wall, the branches of the psy-dioum hung over it. Since the loggia window was constantly open, it was formed some space from two sides closed with glass, with a third party there was a deaf wall, and a gap remained between the wall and the frame. A kind of room without door. The heat in this room when it was + 43 ° C on the street, there was an incredible, but for her inhabitants was just right, because Costa and succulents lived in it. Hemantus stood as if the open door. In mid-September, he found on the side of the bulbs, between the leaves, a small dense white bud. It turns out that not a cold wintering determined flowering, but an incredible heat.
Rogged grew slowly and important. A villain appeared, he put forward and advanced in the direction of the world and finally slowed down (Doros up to 15 cm), the bud was in the wrapper. Over time, the wrapper began to open, and the white threads of the pomponchik appeared. Pomponchik was rounded, but did not become an absolute ball. Yellow stamens were very decorated. Held a flower almost a month and a half. During this period, the night became cool, and the sun is not so burning.
The babe froze, we see a new wave of growth we will see only next year.
So, five years later, Gemantus Belotzvet-Koya pleased with blossom, I think that I got the bulb about five years old. It turns out 10 years. Solid age for indoor plant.
