Hello: I forgot to mention in my previous post that I have also used those "roll out" flower mats. They can be cut to size and are rather easy to use. They really grow!

On another note: If anyone has an amaryliss from the holidays, do not throw it out because it is done blooming. When the weather gets nice, you can set it outside all summer still in it pot. In the fall, cut back the long green leaves and put it in a dark place without any water for a few weeks. After the plant has rested, just put it back in the house and start watering it again. You may have to re-pot the bulb in a bigger container. My Amarylis has bloomed six times for me and it brings such lovely color indoors for the holidays. Regards, Lil
