I purchased an amaryllis bulb, planted it like the package said and nothing. So, this morning I removed the bulb, saw that the crispy covering was all slimy, decided to soak it in water before trying to plant it again. Am I just wasting my time because this might be a dud? Thanks for any help
Sounds like it rotted. Bulb should be firm and not slimy. Soaking in water would not help. Try another.
If whole thing is soft it's kaput. Some superficial decay on the very outside might be inconsequential, unless it spread later to the rest of the bulb.
