These, the whining amaryllis group, hate cold. Mandoni hates too much water any time, so now that I've had some succes with both I thought I'd pass it on. I water the H. mandoni like a dry-oriented Gasteria or Haworthia, that is, small amounts of water often rather than deep drinks with hard, dry periods. The H. parodii doesn't worry about water, but they both hate cold. This was rightly solved last winter by putting both on underneath heat. Having earlier damaged the root system of a mandoni, and having brought it through the winter with a vigorous root system just found in replanting, and now that finally the H. parodii is growing where it tried to grow in April when we had a cold snap, and then sat until very late June, I thought good news worth passing on. I don't think any of this is new, but perhaps the watering regime is.
