I brought a plant back home with me from Europe but have no clue what it is. When I brought it back, it was very small and grew into this. At my aunt's, it's got plenty of leaves and several offspring. I don't know what it is and I need to look it up so I know how to take care of it. I don't think it has blooms. Any help you could offer would be great. Thanks.
I thought that at first but it's not a bulbous plant and it has not produced any blooms. I've had Hippeastrum (Amryllis) in the past and, although the leaves are similar, this is not the same. Do you know if there are any non-flowering varieties?
The genus Hymenocallis is listed as being offsetting and occasionally rhizomatous, so that might lead you to an ID. Without a blossom though we're shooting in the dark here. HTH Chris
It looks very like my Haemanthus, which I've had for years, and does little but produce offsets, well, one offset. Supposed to Flower, according to my books, but I'm still waiting.
Wow, I Googled it and it sure does look like it. Not sure which specific variety but that's not what matters. Thanks so much. By the way, do you happen to have a photo of yours for me to compare to? Do you care for it in any specific way or just the same as a regular houseplant?
Haven't got a usable camera at the moment, but will add plant to list of things my son has to photograph when he gets his phone sorted out. I treat it as the rest of my house plants, water when it needs it, it's on a north facing windowsill, so light, but not direct sunlight. The outer leaves eventually die off, but it puts up more from the centre,one at a time,which strikes me as unusual, as Amaryllis and other such things do this in pairs. It has an offset with three leaves.
