Last year one of my dearest friend gifted me a Sick Amaryllis bulb as it didnot bloom for him ever. I accepted the offer because it is Amaryllis Papillio, one of my favorite.
This year bulb showed excellent growth and heath. Guess what have I done with it.

Its not sick but a healthy bulb.Papillio is not a hybrid but a species.Thats why it does flowers every year.It flowers after two or three years intervals.But when Papilio the butterfly is in flowers its one of its kind.

Last year bought a bag of Kahoon organic fertilizer, filled container with organic fertilizer without any other mixture.
I was afraid, bulb may rot but it did miracle effects. I am very happy with this organic fertilizer and last week bought two more bags-10 Litre each.
