For the last several years my mom's employer has given her an amaryllis plant, but they never produced a bulb with seed. They would always just shrivel up. Well, a couple years ago I planted some of them in the yard, and this year the Lord blessed me with one that produced several bulbs with seed. After watching your video, I planted them and they're now sprouting... Thanks so much! I'll be emailing you sson!
Your a amaryllis angel. I've got seeds after years of raising this one bulb that spend to a dozen. Now I get seed pod that is full of seeds. Thank you, I am on my way to planting these precious seeds. 😊
I was given some Amaryliss bulbs that were divided off some plants my Aunt Cecelia has at her home in Niland, CA. I planted them in two pots and placed them outside on my patio. I was rewarded with beautiful blooms that were then pollinated naturally by hummingbirds. Now I have the pods which have cracked opened and after watching this great video, I plan on harvesting the seeds and then planting to see what happens next! Thanks so much for your video. Such a blessing to share with us...
I'm a crazy cat lady and also a big Amaryllis fan, there's plenty of crazy cat ladies on UA-cam but this man is a serious crazy cat lady for Amaryllises and we need more of him!
My mother recently gave me some seeds from her Amaryllis: I forgot about them and left them in the little baggie on the counter, and they started sprouting! I've got little green shoots now and have moved them into seedling trays.
straight to the point and educational...I managed to fertilize my blooming amaryllis and I have my seeds and I will be trying this asap. I am so excited! Thank you kind sir...I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for the educational on amaryllis, I have a beautiful one (dark fired red) and last year I was just waiting the right time to harvest the seeds, I wasn't at home when my gardener just chop the whole bulb, that was so painful, but I separated the growing bulbs on the sides and now I have 4 more from the same one, they all are about to break in three more days.
Thank you 🙏 I just harvested many pos just needed to refresh my memory I used to start them but that was thirty something years ago and I remembered correctly that they liked a loamy soil . Again have a lovely day Take care of yourself in this pandemic I pray you and the family stays well!
Previously I bring to your notice that I have succeeded germinating two self pollinated seeds. Afterwards I have succeeded germinating few self- and cross pollinated seeds. Thanks.
Just plant the seedlings in a good top soil so that the small bulb and roots are gently covered. Water them often enough to keep the soil slightly moist. After about a month fertilize them with a water soluble fertilizer.
I am just learning about after care, mine was waxed , had 2 glorious blooms.... now the seeds are here , I want to know how to plant..... what a great flower to grow
congratulations i have some amarillys and they just finished flowering. i am keeping the stem to get seeds. but only a few of the stems have big fat stigma (is that what its called ) didnt know to keep the ones i bought. i threw them away. too bad . didnt see your video until later. i am waiting the one i got. thanks for the video mr. amarillyus
Yes, that is exactly what you need to do, start them now and it will take about four years for your seed to produce a blooming size bulb. By the way, we have a large selection of amaryllis seed -you can order from us through ebay.
Hi thanks for the great video! I have got my seedlings from water and transplated them to the soil pots but some of them seem to be going wrong now... The top of some of their small leaves are going dry and yellow-ish. Any idea on what could be causing it? I could post a video/pictures if it helps! Thanks :)
Do you continue to soak them throughout the 3 weeks until they germinate? If so, why is it important to use sandy, well draining soil? Sorry I am so ignorant. I have some seeds and am so happy to have found your instructions ! Thanks!
Is that full strength or diluted? I have amaryllisseedlings that's been up for several weeks but pretty much been using chamomile tea on them to prevent damping off.
How many years it would take till bulb grows enough to produce flower? I received seeds from "seed exchange", We are in Zone 4. Should I plant them now at the beginning of cold Winter and keep them inside on the window sil or wait till Spring so they can have some natural light outside to get started? Thank you.
When the pods split open they are ready to harvest and then we keep them refrigerated after they dry out. Check out the video on harvesting amaryllis seeds.
We had an amaryllis at my old house and when we moved my mom took the seeds out, unfortunately it's been about a year and we haven't planted them. Any chances they will sprout? Thanks in advance
The next time your amaryllis flowers locate the stigma on the blooms when it is errect and dividing into three sections. Place the yellow pollen from the anther on to the stigma. This usually polinates a bloom, inablling it to produce seed. Our ebay store has many varieties of amaryllis seed to purchase.
You probably won't respond as this video is old but I tried the floating seeds in water and 95% of the seed sank to the bottom of the bowl. And only 5 seeds produced plants that I transplanted to soil sand mix
I randomly found seed pods one day on my plant and decided to plant 2 seed 2 both sprouts but at that time I don't know it will take that much time to flower?
Our red amaryllis had at least 25 flowers this year. We let one seed pod alone and I just harvested the seed. I'm going to try growing them. I was wondering how long for them to make a bulb but I found the information on one of your other videos. Very informative. Other video of yours: ua-cam.com/video/wPibX0UHj8Q/v-deo.html
13 years later and this is still useful. Thanks!!!!
It is our number one of watched videos.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, again!

Excellent! Just got seed pods off plant. I now know exactly what to do!!! Thanks!
Previously I bring to your notice that I have succeeded germinating two self pollinated seeds. Afterwards I have succeeded germinating few self- and cross pollinated seeds. Thanks.
Thank you for the great video! I am going to plant my amaryllis seed after they are dried for a couple more days!!
excellent video! Very clear instructions and easy to understand.
Our amaryllis seeds are drying in the garage-cannot wait to start propagation ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so very much sir- exactly what I was looking for!
Just plant the seedlings in a good top soil so that the small bulb and roots are gently covered. Water them often enough to keep the soil slightly moist. After about a month fertilize them with a water soluble fertilizer.
Wonderful video. Ashame I took so long to research my seeds. I have several dozen I've collected over the years oblivious they would deteriorate
I am just learning about after care, mine was waxed , had 2 glorious blooms.... now the seeds are here , I want to know how to plant..... what a great flower to grow
yeheyyyy started to transplant my amaryllis. still didnt see them blooom for years already.
Yes, our store link is in the video description.
Thank-you, the Johnstons
This is such a great and informal video

So excited, my plant has got one pod so now I will plant it! Hopefully by winter I might get another plant!
Thanks. You have done a lot of work
Let them grow a while longer. Maybe a couple of months more. Fertilize them with water-soluble fertilizer every other week. Thank-you, The Johnstons
Interesting! I hope I can make mine work like yours. I love your garden! I am in Florida too!
As soon as the seed are dry you can plant them. No refrigeration required
Marvellous - Very clear instructions - Will give it a try - Just dry my seeds - Many Thanks - rosie
I love it. Thank you. Is it the same I can do with Belladonna Lily?
Yes, that is exactly what you need to do, start them now and it will take about four years for your seed to produce a blooming size bulb. By the way, we have a large selection of amaryllis seed -you can order from us through ebay.
What a brilliant video, thank you.
Mulțumesc frumos pentru acest videoclip in care mi-ați arătat cum se plantează saminta de floarea
Amarilis.Multumesc.👍👍👍👍🙏🇦🇩🇦🇩🇦🇩✌️
Excellent & informative presentation. thanx
wow. this is a great resource. thanks and God bless.
Thank you so much for the information! I planted mine but the seeds keep popping up out of the soil when I water them. How do I correct this?

Sorry I am so ignorant.
I have some seeds and am so happy to have found your instructions ! Thanks!
Soggy soil may contain contaminants that will rotten the seed. However, moisture is required for seed germination. Thank-you, The Johnstons
That one seed outside the tray has my OCD raging.
if you live in country where there is hot weather all year, when do you plant the seeds?
When you refrigerate the seeds, do you put them in a Ziploc or plastic container
Can you plant them outside in the ground? Also I live in south western colorado
My seed pods are green still, do I have to wait until they are brown before opening them ??
Do you think a cacti mix would be appropriate?
I would think so, however, I have limited experience with Belladonna.
what type dirt/soil and sand , where do you get it
Some of my bulbs are now over 42 years old and thriving
Where do you get that sand? I live in Florida too. From my yard?
Doesn't the bulb multiply ?
How long does it take to dry before you can open them?
Very interesting. Is there an update??
Not at this time.
Is that full strength or diluted? I have amaryllisseedlings that's been up for several weeks but pretty much been using chamomile tea on them to prevent damping off.
Our seed pod yellowish and split open. Bit they are not black like yours. Is it ok ? Ours are white with black middle.
You are wonderful thank you soooo very much ! luv ya!
Use a water-soluble fertilizer and water weekly for the first three months. By that time they should be ready for transplanting.
How many years it would take till bulb grows enough to produce flower? I received seeds from "seed exchange", We are in Zone 4. Should I plant them now at the beginning of cold Winter and keep them inside on the window sil or wait till Spring so they can have some natural light outside to get started? Thank you.
Is it possible to pick the pods too early? Mine didn’t fully brown but was busting open
the seed should still be viable.
I have one plant that has come up from seed. We’re at the end of the summer does it need to be fertilized through the winter?
Yes, do fertilize monthly.
Hi thank you very much for your videos.
Just wondering is it the same of amaryllis and naked lady?
No. Naked Lady is a true amaryllis. What we call amaryllis is actually Hippeasttrum.
Thanks for your reply. I live in australia. Now naked lady flower just fades. I collected some seeds, it's look pearls. Do you how to plant seeds?
@@juneci2674 Plant the seed to a depth about four times larger than the seed. Water well and keep it warm.
Thanks. If the flower was solid Christmas red, what color will the flowers be from its seeds?
Normally it would be the same as its parent.
@@AmaryllisMan thanks
Thanks just what i wanted to know so you germinate in water?
Yes, that is a good method.
Your videos are so helpful, I didn’t even know I could get seeds from my amaryllis until I watched your videos. Im germinating in water 🫡 wish me luck
Thank you for your help.
How long do u keep the pods to get seeds. And how do you keep them?
When the pods split open they are ready to harvest and then we keep them refrigerated after they dry out. Check out the video on harvesting amaryllis seeds.
Great Info!
Well I have over 50 varies of amaryllis and have ALOT of seeds form all of them
Hi am very interested in buying some seeds do you have any for sale ?
We had an amaryllis at my old house and when we moved my mom took the seeds out, unfortunately it's been about a year and we haven't planted them. Any chances they will sprout? Thanks in advance
Do the seeds produce the same color lilly as the bulb?
Yes, normally.

How long does the seedlings take before the bloom
Usually 3-4 years.
Did he ever obtain flowers from his seedlings?
Start off the first month diluted and then move up to full strength.
What is the appropriate month to plant amaryllis seeds?
Indoor anytime, outside in the Spring when danger of frost is over.
are you saying to soak with water every day.
Thank u so much 🙏🏼
Amaryllis Man can i use Osmocote granules?
Yes
@@AmaryllisMan great, thank you!
Can you just plant pods and get flowers ?
Have never tried that. It would be a waste of so many good seeds that need their own space.
@@AmaryllisMan Thanks for the input.
Try floating them on water. If they are viable you will have sprouts in about three weeks.
I am waiting for my bulbs to produce seeds but one of them after the flower is death the seed part started to dry too like the flower and ideas why?
+Joey Cutajar it happened to be last time as well but this time I hang pollinated the flowers and the bulb started to swell.
+Joey Cutajar That is not unusual, some seed pods will not come to maturity.
+Amaryllis Man good to know thanks
Amaryllis Man n
Some Verity produce seed automatically but in some Verity Seed only will appear when you cross your lily flower with different Verity of lily flower.
Can we grow direct in soil ?
Yes, that will be fine.
The next time your amaryllis flowers locate the stigma on the blooms when it is errect and dividing into three sections. Place the yellow pollen from the anther on to the stigma. This usually polinates a bloom, inablling it to produce seed. Our ebay store has many varieties of amaryllis seed to purchase.
Sounds like you can use succulent soil as an ingredient because it's got sand in it.
Yes
Thank you!
How long from seed to flower?
3-4 years with proper care.
@AmaryllisMan thank you
Hello,what is sod thank you
soil
I bought amarallis bulbs online
👍😍🌻 amaryllis
You probably won't respond as this video is old but I tried the floating seeds in water and 95% of the seed sank to the bottom of the bowl. And only 5 seeds produced plants that I transplanted to soil sand mix
You might try this ua-cam.com/video/oxVDoxqEXiw/v-deo.html Maybe you will do better with this method
Sir, I've been following you for several years now. Thank you so much for such wonderful videos!
Did it really take 14 years to flower this ?
I randomly found seed pods one day on my plant and decided to plant 2 seed 2 both sprouts but at that time I don't know it will take that much time to flower?
No, four years from seed to bloom. Thank-you
Can i germinate it on paper towel?
Yes, that is do-able.
What is the soil mix?
ua-cam.com/video/JVTOHIKH8C0/v-deo.html Thank-you
Do you have a facebook or website where we can admire your Amaryllis collection?
AWESOME!
Yea jweeping I have twitter and some other stuff
Our ebay store is amaryllisman
Amaryllis Man Hi Mr. Johnston, can we order bulbs that will blossom right away?? Ones with flower scapes ready to open???
❤❤❤
👍👍👍👍
Neat!
Our red amaryllis had at least 25 flowers this year. We let one seed pod alone and I just harvested the seed. I'm going to try growing them.

It took 3 or 4 weeks, but several of the seeds have sprouted - maybe 9 so far and they are continuing to send out little shoots in the water.
