Fruit Fly problem in plant in office?

I work in an office, and I have planted a Red Amaryllis plants. I got the plant in a box as a christmas gift kind of as a "Start your own" kit.

The plant has been growing since before christmas, and now I am noticing a lot of fruit flies(or something like that) in the soil and flying around.

Does anyone know how I can get rid of them without poisioning my plant?

Fruit Fly problem in plant in office?
plain old Dawn dishsoap and water...won't hurt plants. I use it on my roses...

or replant with new dirt.
Reply:agree...take a piece of high acid fruit and place in the plant. Also do not water your plant. wetness will attract
Reply:Pour about 1/2 inch of cider vinegar in a small cup or bowl, add a few drops of lemon, lime, or apple dish soap. Place the cup or bowl close to the plant and leave it there for several days. This will attract the fruit flies and kill them.

In the mean time water the soil very lightly with water and a few drops of liquid dish soap.

If you still have fruit flies in a few days...get rid of the plant so the problem doesn't spread all over the office.
Reply:Try cutting a lemon in half then put it behind the plant, the fruit flys are attraached to the smell, and when they land on the lemon they die due to the acid in it.
Reply:You can hang a bag of water in the door way then they wont bother the plants.. I kno that works with regular flies im not sure about fruit flies though..
Reply:AHHHH!! I hate those things. They are fungus flies. They eat the fungus that grows in the soil in your plants. Best thing to do is to just trash the plant before they inhabit the other plants in the office-- trust me they will. If you LOVE the plant then you can try repotting it with fresh soil and washing the roots thoroughly. Sometimes sitting them outside will get ride of the fungus flies as well. Given the time of year you may just freeze the thing. Anyway, bid the plant farewell. Those flies are not friendly.
Reply:Make sure you aren't overwatering - this draws bugs and also can rot and kill your plant. If that doesn't help, you may have to repot the plant in some new clean soil.
Reply:the plant is to wet let it dry out alittle bit and that should help

What part do you think I'll get?

What part do you think I'll get?
Although I am very excited for you and your theatrical endeavors. I have to admit that I am a little concerned that you would post your picture on a public website. You are adorable and it is a great picture, but I suggest that you don't do it again. I'm glad that no one is allowed to contact you on this website so you are smart.

Good Luck! I hope that you get the role you want.
Reply:You will get one of the orphans.
Reply:Probably Molly or kate-it would have to be quite a main character...

good luck anyway!

Flower preservative in potted plants?

Just wondering if anyone knows if you can use the powdered flower preservative that comes with cut flowers in a potted plant as a fertilizer? It's an Amaryllis.

Flower preservative in potted plants?
No it is for fresh cut flowers and is not plant food if you want to give the Amaryllis a food give it bulb food.

What makes a plant stop growing at a certain height?

I potted two Amaryllis bulb. Early on, they were quite different heights. But by three weeks they were within a millimeter or two of ech other. What made them stop growing at a certain height?

What makes a plant stop growing at a certain height?
Genetics...!
Reply:This is not the answer I was looking for. I want to know what hormonal or other chemical changes in the organism effect the stop in graowth. Report It
Reply:Plants are like people. Their height is controlled by their dna.

Probably one bulb was planted in a better soil, or had better light--and so grew faster. But eventually the other one caught up.
Reply:The final height of a plant is built into its genes. Your second plant caught up because of biological compensation. This is as the plants get older the difference between them become less different. This happens as the plants grow they can access more water and nutrients so the difference at the beginning becomes less important. The final height can be determined by flowering in some species but it is mostly control by genes. We sometimes try to breed shorter plants (with double dwarf genes) so less plant energy is put into vegetative growth and more energy can be used for reproductive growth. An example is wheat which is now very short now and more energy can be put into grain production.

Reply:Genes and roots limit height of plants.

How do you take care of outdoor plants in winter?

I am no expert when it comes to gardening. This spring, I accidentally locked myself out of the house and, having nothing better to do till my husband got home and let me in, I went to walmart and bought a bunch of gardening supplies, and planted a flower bed in our front yard. That one bed has progressed into pots, and hanging plants in our front and back yard, and now that cold weather is on its way, I realize that I have no idea how to take care of plants in the winter. Can I just leave them out? will they just die off and come back next spring? I can take my potted ones inside, but what about the ones in beds, are there any precautions I need to take, or will they be ok? We live in south Texas, so it should not get too cold, but it has been known to freeze here. I have various wildflowers and other garden plants in beds, Amaryllis and Calla Lilly, Impatiens, and a small Kumquat tree in pots. Is there any kind of maintenance I need to do to them over the winter?

How do you take care of outdoor plants in winter?
Kumquat tree needs to be brought in.

Impatients will not tolerant freezing temps. Bring them in or cover with plasitc or sheet during cold temps.

Wildflowers will probably come back in seed form as long as that area gets water.

Calla lilly should be trimmed low....It should sprout out during mid spring.

Amaryllis needs to be brought in or covered.
Reply:if frost is forecasted cover your plants at least with a sheet you can start now to toughen them by spraying them with 2 oz of liquid sea weed to a gallon of water do this about once a week till it gets cold this well give your plant about 5 more degrees of cold tolerance
Reply:I live in N FL-impatiens will not tolerate a frost but I have some potted ones that have been around for several years. You need to pinch them way back now and they will grow and bloom again. I have seen amaryllis in bloom in summer outside. If you have sun-a bout 4-6 hours daily in your yard there are alot of hardier flowes you can use- go to the local Lowes or Home depot and see what they have, This is a learning pricess and much of it is trial and error as each yard is it's own microclimate.
Reply:Some perennials will die off and return in the spring. You must get in touch with a garden center or go to the library and research the type of plants you have and learn what will return, what you could bring inside and what is merely an annual. Bring the kumquat tree inside for the winter. The wildflowers will no doubt return--just let them go and the birds might eat the seeds over the winter. Impatients might reseed. Amaryllis and calla lily should be dug up , kept until spring and then planted again.

Is it okay to place plants under a grow light even if the plant is a great indoor, winter plant?

I want to grow Amaryllis flowers in the winter but i am afraid they will not receive enough sunlight.

Gro lights aren't all they're bluffed up to be. If you want to mimic sunlight, you need to use halide and hydroponic lights

Reply:Well its kinda cute I'd say....but it will be a little awkward when the girl grows older....Perhaps you could make it her middle name instead? E.g. Jeanne Amaryllis
Reply:its really cute

I like the version that the poster's friend has ~ Amaryss.

Reply:Is that the plant with big orange red flower . That was the first thing I thought but I like flower names for girls , Violet,lily rose daisy so why not Amaryllis she could always call her self amy if she did not like it.
Reply:Im all for unusual names.....but this might be a bit much. Although if its an important, or sentimental name to you, go for it.....just think of a cute nick name

Christmas plants?

we have a amaryllis plant, it has 5 flowers on ,is this rare ?

Christmas plants?
Only because they would sell out first. In a really good flower shop they would be available, but if you got it at Wal MArt, dude buy a lotto ticket, because you have LUCK.
Reply:Yes rare as a rose bush..lol
Reply:no
Reply:Yes, and I'll bet it's beautiful!! Lucky!!
Reply:No, the number of flowers depends upon how large the bulb and how healthy it is. It is not uncommon to have four or five.
Reply:if it's just one stalk, yeah, that's really rare. if it's coming off a bunch of different sprouts, you just have a mature bulb

Would you consider me as a good actress and singer?

Would you onsider me as a good actress and singer?
There are several stages a professional actor has to get through to get work:

1) Credentials of

-- a) training and

-- b) experience

2) Interview with an agent

3) Audition with an agent

4) Audition with casting director

5) Callback(s) with casting director, director, possibly producer

6) Rehearsals

7) Performance

Only when I see you at step #7 will I know whether or not you're "good," and then I'll only know how good you were for that one performance.

Your experience is impressive, but that's only step 1b and you've omitted step 1a entirely.

If you think I'm tough, go to NYC, where people with your experience and with incredible talent get turned down at auditions every day. If they're "good," they take it in stride, put it behind them, move on and focus on their next audition.
Reply:The proof is in the pudding and you have some nice pudding going there....

You're at least bread and butter and that's better than most!
Reply:it sounds like you must be a good actress/singer given what you've written BUT I would have to hear you and see you in person to really be able to judge.
Reply:You have quite a list of credits. It would be impossible, however, to say whether you are a good actress or singer without seeing you act or sing.

Your resume is probably enough, however, to get you called in to audition. And sometimes getting the audition is the hardest part of the business.

Keep it up! :-)

What is an...?

amaryllis?

First right answer gets atleast 11 points.

What is an...?
AMARYLLIS plain and simple is part of The Belladonna Lily which is a bulbous plant
Reply:Amaryllis, the wanton country maid.

Nature Art disdaineth; her beauty is her own.

Her when we court and kiss, she cries: forsooth, let go!

But when we come where comfort is, she never will say no.

If I love Amaryllis, she gives me fruit and flowers;

But if we love these ladies, we must give golden showers.

Give them gold that sell love, give me the nut-brown lass,

Who when we court and kiss, she cries: forsooth, let go!

But when we come where comfort is, she never will say no.

These ladies must have pillows and beds by strangers wrought.

Give me a bower of willows, of moss and leaves unbought,

And fresh Amaryllis with milk and honey fed,

Who when we court and kiss, she cries: forsooth, let go!

But when we come where comfort is, she never will say no.
Reply:Amaryllis is a monotypic (only one species) genus of plant also known as the Belladonna Lily or naked ladies.
Reply:Very large blooms. With two flowers per succulent thick stem, Amaryllis is a dramatic addition to any table. They can be featured in bouquets, though their size limits the number that cna be used. Colors include white, red, pink, orange and salmon. Also available in striped varieties. Year-round availability.
Reply:Amaryllis is not only a flowering plant but also a woman's name, like Rose, Lily, and Violet. That is what Mommy of 2 was "going on about".

Music Man ! LOOK PLEASE !?

ok, so our school play this year is the Music Man,and I tried out for both Amaryllis and Gracie, and I want to know, which one is a bigger part, with more scenes ?

please only answer if you really know, and please don't be rude !

thanks :]

Music Man ! LOOK PLEASE !?
Amaryllis is much bigger. She only sing a small piece of Goodnight My Someone which is 1 line of harmony with Marian at the very end of the song. She is there throughout the song and is supposed to be playing the background on the piano until she stops and watches Marian sing.

She has a scene where she invites her crush, Winthrop, to her birthday party but he refuses. That's when she gets into a discussion with marian about love and not wanting to become an old maid like her... check out the links for more info.

Gracie maybe has 2 lines and Amaryllis has a good deal more and is featured in other scenes where Gracie is not such as the gym scene where Mrs. Shinn is leading her Hiawatha girls or whatever they're called and Tommy sets off the fire cracker. Of course it depends on the director, but we've done this show 3 times and Gracie has always been left out while Amaryllis carries the rifle.

Gracie does say "Tommy Djilas did it" when the fire cracker goes off" and "The Wells Fargo wagon's coming" or something like that at the top of Act 2.

Reply:Amaryllis. She is the friend that has a crush on Winthrop, and (I think) sings part of "Goodnight My Someone." It's through her that you know some of the information about Winthrop and his shyness.

Gracie is a tiny character, the Mayor Shin's younger daughter. More than anything, she's a part of the chorus, following her parents or older sister, with a few lines here and there.

Hope your audition goes well!
Reply:Amaryllis has the bigger part, but any part is what it is all about. To be part of the fellowship of other people who have chosen to put themselves out there and tell a story to an audience, is the real reward and accomplishment.Good luck

Success!!!I just started growing some of my prize Amaryllis from seed! Always had good luck with the baby bulbs-have lots of Amaryllis-and used to cut the foliage to the ground, wasting the seedpods.Oh foolish me.Now,I have-last month,saved the pods and seeds-soaked the little flat seeds in a bowl of water for a few days-and gently planted them in a shallow tray of 50-50 good dirt and sandy stuff-and all sprouted last week!!!!!!They are so cute!!!!!Two inches now and tiny little replicas of their mommy's foliage. Next-when they are about 4" tall-they will be in a larger,deeper tray-and then in about two weeks-into their rightful place in my garden!!!Who'da thunk it! Wish you luck with yours too.

..........Propagation....................

http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/EP060

Amaryllis can be propagated by either seed, offsets or cuttage. Since seeds do not always produce plants similar to their parents, most named hybrids and selected strains are propagated by cuttage.
Reply:Yes they are the seed of the plant but no they are not plantable by themselves your flower has died, best get a new one. Amaryllis is a bulb not a seed, every bulb has seeds in them but its just part of the bulb
Reply:Good question. The guy above had your answer but I can tell you that these plants keep blooming for years if you keep them watered and in the shade. Mine are now over 10 years old and get better every year.

How do I best care for indoor bulbs?

I have tulips, hyacinth, and an amaryllis potted indoors. How do I care for them as well as possible? What are good plant foods to give them so I don't burn the bulbs? How much light should they get?

How do I best care for indoor bulbs?
I currently have amaryllis' growing inside right now. The stalk on this thing is about 3 feet long. I feed it Miracle Grow Indoor Plant food. It requires moderate light. Mine is below my sky light and it is going crazy.

I have a hyacinth also. It is potted and usually remains outside but, it has been too cold lately. I have it on a table if front of the window so it get adequate sunlight.

I have never tried growing tulips indoors. Mine are planted outside and are already sprouting.

Indoor bulbs like cooler temps (60 degrees or so) so, just a recommendation, don't place directly in front of a heater vent.

this website should help you out:

http://www.coloradogardening.com/article...
Reply:They generally do well with moderate light, which is one reason they do well indoors. Find a good bulb food that is mixed with water; mix it at one-quarter strength, and use it at each watering. The amaryllis can probably be "forced" again next year if it gets sufficient cold after it blooms; tulips and hyacinths can usually only be forced once, and then must be discarded.

Have you seen this book???

I'm pretty sure the book is called Hilary's island and the main girl is called Amaryllis. In the book she or another character dressed up as a boy and had an adventure island. This book was out in around the 1960's. Please help me find this book!!!

Thanks for the help.

Girl Names that can have Lissie as a nickname?

I like the name Lissie but I can't see a 30, 40 or 50 year old Lissie...sounds too babyish... I really am not fond of Melissa and there are already 3 Elisabeth/Elizabeth/Isabelle's in our family (was thinking Lissabelle that is why I mentioned Isabelle) so I am confused. I really like girlly names like Caterina and Priscilla, etc...I am having trouble warming up to Felicity...those are the only traditional names that have the nickname. I really do not like Alyssa. I like names that start wtih L and thought I liked a rhyming version of ariceli (if you saw my other question...Lisseli) but now I don't...

Middle name is Carolyn after my mother. So the ones I have come up with are

Lissandra (knew a Sandra in school I didn't like lol...Sondra maybe...)

Amaryllis (can't quite name my child after a flower though...)

Lissiella (sounds too ethnic...I am WASP lol Pretty, though)

Luissa (play on Luisa)

Liscelia (for some reason I think of Lice when I see this name)

Get my point? lol Help!!!

Girl Names that can have Lissie as a nickname?
I would name her Annalissa. I think it is a very feminine name. It can definitely have the nickname Lissie and when she is older she can go by Anna or Annalissa.

Good Luck. SD
