Enjoy glorious flowers year after year just when you need them most, with this step-by-step strategy
Full StoryHi,
I just bought a Hippeastrum papilio and I wanted to get opinions as to whether I should replant the whole group, or remove some of the offsets. Is now (or when blooming is completely done) an OK time? I'm also curious what size pot these guys would need.
I bought the plant at DIG Gardens in Santa Cruz (wholesaler Suncrest) for $9. It was past its peak bloomtime, but for that price it seemed reasonable. The plant has 8 offsets with visible leaves. It's in a 1 gallon pot that is already a bit distorted; the younger ones are at the edge.

(the plant on the left is Crinodendron hookerianum. Same source(s), same price)
{{gwi:408331}}
At about "9 o'clock" in the photo above there's an offset that is larger than the others.
If I repotted these as a group, when would the offsets bloom at the earliest? Would 9+ bulbs/plants in a pot be too many?
