Is my Amaryllis rotten?

12 years ago

Hello!

I recently purchased and amaryllis bulb. I planted it a little over a week ago and the stalk shot up. The blowers are almost open but the leaves are still very short. When I bought it, about an inch of leaf was sticking out. As you can see in the picture, those have grown as well.

Today however I noticed that the bottom half of the leaf was much lighter that the top, dark green part. Upon further inspection I also noticed brown-red areas on the leaves. I decided to peel of the thin, dry black layer of the bulb in order to expect it. It does not feel soft but I noticed one brown area right under the soil.

This is my first amaryllis so I am not sure what to do. Is my plant dying? Can I save it? Help!

Thank you.
