I rescued a bulb from the grocery store that was going out of business next door. The plant is named Dominic. Then I took on my neighbor's bulb just before she passed. THAT one produces seeds!!! I have so may Amaryllis babies I'm taking care of :O
I love this flower. Every year I buy them for me and my grandchildren. On Sundays we swap pictures to see who is going to be the first to have flowers. Then who has the most blooms. So fun!
@@manishhkr I have a lemon and lime amaryllis from Thompson and Morgan, the old bulb has never grown in size instead it has had many small bulbs grow from it. It only flowers every other year now and it’s flowers are smaller but I will always keep it as my mother gave it to me before she died. I think it’s success is due to I never cut its leaves off until the bulb sheds them itself.
So lucky! I bought mine from Ikea in the As-Is section 😂 i was trying to rescue it. 🌷 It had a pretty red bloom! That was maybe 5 years ago and it hasn’t rebloomed but foliage still grows (surprisingly 😅). I’m not doing something right so I’m here to watch the video to learn!
Best video ever!! I got into amaryllis 3-4 years ago and have managed to collect 15 different varieties. They give me a lot of entertainment. You'll never find a flower that gives you so much bang for a buck with so little effort.
I have gotten old and it's hard to take care of all my flowers so I planted all of my amaryllis outside. I live in Tennessee. So far they have come back and bloomed every year, and that's been 3 years now
I too live in TN. East TN. My 50 or so were gifted to me from my neighbors bed. His beds run up the sides of his entire driveway. You couldn't even tell any were gone when I took mine! I first put them in a whiskey barrel a lot of them bloomed that first year. He never did anything to his oner winter or anything so I didn't either. Sitting up on that deck in a planter was not the place😢😢😢i think one huge bulb made it. I went the next spring and got more. I put them into a bed close to the house. We had a terrible snow storm and several days that were going to be less than 10 degrees. I ran out in the snow, determined not to loose them this year. Dug every one up and put in my bathtub. They stayed there for couple of months, and to my shock, bloomed beautifully. I put them back out and i only had one that has bloomed this year. It had 2 flower stalks on it. Lots of wide healthy looking green leaves though, so know most of them survived. I like the idea of potting them up better as well. Seems to show them off more.❤
pataustin1977: Yurs are now planted outside in TN: does it freeze where you are in the winter? I've seen one old house in NC where I live that has a huge bed in front with what appears to be amaryllis and I always wanted to try planting outdoors. Let us know more! Have yours increased from bulblets? (what's the right term for the new corms?)
It’s hard to believe that the very first amaryllis I’ve ever grown is in my window now. I’ve grown lots of things but I’m just now learning about these beauties. Thanks for your very informative video without having to watch several different ones, you’ve described the process and what to expect at each stage. Well done 👍
I am new to amaryllis. I found your videos and ordered two bulbs from Longfield Garden. I received bulbs on 2/1/2023 and immediately soaked the roots for 24 hours and planted them on 2/2/2023 and checked my bulbs today, 2/5/2023and I have one sprouted already! Talk about instant gratification!!!! Thank you thank you thank you. I am hooked! I just had to share! Robin
In 24 minutes (the length of your video) I learned more about amaryllis than I have by watching other videos and reading about the plant!! This video was SO VERY HELPFUL!!! Thank you so much ~ I never knew anything about why larger bulbs were better to have, or that buying them from southern climate growers was so important for Christmas blooms. Thank you thank you!! I just found your channel, and I just subscribed!! Have a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year!
"if that's not fun, I don't know what is!" Kindred garden spirits! Thank you for this educational video. Reblooming my first Amaryllis bulb, it truly is so fun!
This flower is something extra special to me. I purchased mine the day before Thanksgiving on this year. In fact I was so sad on that day. I’ve been blessed with the honor of watching it bloom and bring joy to my heart daily. Priceless thank you.
One of the best videos I have ever seen. Smart, interesting and funny, and of course the most important - just tells you all in clear and understandable manner. Well done and thank you! :)
@@independantegirl I have black dragon that I got off a clearance shelf for $1. I really love it and been taking cuttings to have more plants. I will save seeds from it this year and see what variations I will grow from it.
This was awesome information! I just started growing amaryllis bulbs about 3 yrs ago and am always interested in learning all that I can about them. Thank you so much!
I bought a white amaryllis from Trader Joe’s this year. It had three flower stalks and the first one had SEVEN blooms! There was also an offset. I hit the jackpot and really want to keep it going. Thank you for all the helpful advice.
12/22/24. I have several bulbs and have put them into dormancy and 1 months in 45 degree storage. However they have not bloomed for 2 years. They put out nice green leaves and baby bulbs,but no blooms. Help please.
Thank you so much for sharing! My husband brought home his 1st Amaryllis years ago. It was an office plant, no one was paying attention to. We had it a few yrs before it bloomed! Last year we bought 3 different ones before Thanksgiving and they bloomed in 2 weeks. Our last has 4 flowers on it now. Your video is helpful me keep them alive and blooming again and again!
Danielle….thank you for generously sharing your knowledge of plants. Your tutorials are always a joy to watch and easily understood. I only have one amaryllis growing right now, but can’t wait for it to bloom! Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas.
I’m brand new at amaryllis planter and appreciate all you tips. I will be planting soon and hopefully have the success you have demonstrated. Thanks very much !!
I am thrilled to have found your channel! Have always loved amaryllis, but mistakenly believed once bloomed it was difficult to get them to rebloom. Well….no longer! It is ON! I saved 2 gorgeous picotee bulbs from last Christmas and set them out all summer. They are now hibernating in my basement. This year, I may have over done it with bulbs…..I’ve combined 3 red lions in a huge put with several house plants and poinsettias surrounding them. I have potted up white amaryllis and am trying 3 amaryllis bulbs in specific soilless, grow vases meant for them. And I’m giving them as gifts to almost everyone. Phew!!! Is that too much? 🤣😂🤣. Never! Been hunting for different varieties in various nurseries as well. This is just so much fun! Thank you for your enthusiasm ! Merry Christmas to you.
Your video on amarillysis, from A to Z, was extremely amazing and educational. Picked up some great pointers on post blooming, and how to navigate after that segment, great tips.
Greetings from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state! Love Amyrillus bulbs! Last year was my first trying to force the bulbs in December.. No luck. Only stems grew. Today I have two that have buds! Have watched a number of your videos about growing Amyrillus during the last year. Thank you! Wish me luck. Bright Holiday Blessings! 💛💛💛
Few years ago i got crazy with amaryllis. I got like over a dozen but non survive after the first blooms. All i have left are beautiful pictures. This year i pick up a red lion from my local store and that peek my interest back again. Right now i have few that are ready to bloom. Some i pick up as a kit and some have already buds. Thanks for this video, i am going to try to keep them alive and hopefully can make them bloom again next year.
Got my first Amaryllis this week so this video popping up in my feed is both timely and crazy (maybe even creepy), but super great information and excellent delivery. Thank you!
The best video of AMARILIS I have seen…thank you..I bought the red one in crystal vase w white stones for Christmas at the supermarket for 20 dollars…and knew nothing about the care of this bulb…it gave me 7 flowers the first time…and 2 month later 5 flowers…I don’t know if it is better to put it in a flower pot like you….
your pooch almost toppled the tree close to the front door near the end of your video made me chuckle thanks again for a well curated and excellent presentation - your speed is perfect and you do awesome demonstrations
Just bought my first amaryllis today while grocery shopping after watching this video!! It's not the biggest bulb, but it was in my budget. It was only $6 and it's an amaryllis marquis! Can't wait to see it bloom!
I love Amaryllis. I collect the bulbs too. I plant them directly in the ground and never remove them. Most return and bloom year after year. They thrive on their own. They are very bold, independent and tough. Zone 9 Louisiana
Thank you so much for the suggestion to soak the roots before planting once they are out of dormancy. They stood straight and tall without staking. I enjoy your channel so much!
Thanks for this information on growing amaryllis, I learned I did everything wrong! But despite that,I got some growth, hopefully I'll get some blooms!
This is the first year that I have been able to purchase some amaryllis and I am so excited! Of course, I didn’t buy just 1. Nope, I bought 4! So far. Lol Thank-you for sharing your knowledge!
@1:14 - I got one of those grow kits. I let it sit in it's box on a shelf till May (I got it in December.) I grew per the directions included and got only leaves. Fast forward to tonight - I depotted the plant and shook out all the roots that had wrapped around the bulb. It must have been happy because the 5 leaves were 4 feet tall and 2" across. It's in a paper bag in my basement for a 2 month rest period. I hope to see a flower next grow. The bulb has almost doubled in size since May. It's in a south-facing window indoors in PA.
My bulb is very small and has now given me 10 blooms!!!Canada is now in winter..January.know very little about the plant..but now feel have tons of knowledge..cringed when you cut it..thank you so very much,,🇨🇦
Great job Danielle! Your tutorials have given me more confidence in growing my amaryllis this year. I have 7 growing right now that I planted 2 weeks apart. The first ones now have 1-6" flower stalks on them and I get up every morning to check their growth. No matter how many times I've grown an amaryllis I'm amazed at how fast that stalk grows & it gives me so much to look forward to at this time of year when nothing else is blooming. You have so much patience and do a wonderful job explaining all the stages of growing amaryllis. Thank you very much and I wish you and your family a blessed Christmas season!!
I grew a beautiful pink and white double Nymph amaryllis for my Mom and sister for Christmas this year. It made my Mom so happy to watch the bulb grow, she told me that instead of buying her gifts or presents in the future, she'd prefer I give her an amaryllis. Its an easy, inexpensive, but beautiful gift that gives the recipients so much pleasure !
You got me hooked! Now I have three and one is just coming out of dormancy. I can’t wait to see it bloom again. Thank you for sharing all of your expertise on these interesting and beautiful plants.
This is my first amaryllis. I bought it from a local Lowe’s, (Christmas 2024). My amaryllis stem is really tall and tilted so I came to UA-cam for counsel and found this video. Thank you for such a comprehensive video.
You were one of the first UA-camrs that got me curious about growing and reblooming these beauties. I've gone from 2 to 7 Amaryllis ( 3 of those are offsets) in 3 years. I bought inexpensive kits and it's been so exciting to beef up those bulbs and have them rebloom. Placing them into the garden for the summer vs leaving in pots sure did put on more grow. Also I use a slow release bloom fertilizer now as soon as they come out of dormancy to help them recharge for next season's blooms. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Hi Danielle, I want to tell you thank you! I appreciate the time that you've taken to teach me so much! My first career was in speech pathology. I decided to work as a speech therapist with Texas public schools. Then I experienced health problems that interfered with my career and hence my retirement. During those 30 years my love of growing plants developed as a way to connect with my grandfather that was a farmer. It was a great experience as I was growing up to help granddaddy around on the farm. I apologize for diving deep into my history but I think it's a nice foundation into who I am. I live in zone 8a. And I realize that I need to make adjustments from your zone to my zone. The good news is that you have inspired me to begin my flower farm this upcoming season. It's a little scary because I'm single after a devastating divorce but I love growing veggies and flowers! Plus, I felt that Amaryllis was out of reach due to my beginner skill level but after this video, I will give it a try! I have searched for a mentor but it hasn't materialized yet. In addition, I was also inspired with the idea of giving from the video that you shared with your guest. I already had that plan but it helped me to focus on working out the details! Thank you again for your encouragement & guidance! 🙏🏼 I would love to keep you posted, if you are available. 💞🌹 Best wishes, Shelley
Wow, you are so knowledgeable, I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. I have my first Amaryllis, I'm so excited for my new adventure. Thank you for sharing your years of growing knowledge😊
Danielle, thank you so much for this video! I have gifted several amaryllis this year and will send links of this to each recipient. I love all your videos but especially the amaryllis ones as they are my passion too! Thank you for sharing all your gardening adventures.
Ooh, I didn't know they sprouted babies! I hope I can order a few interesting varieties next year. Your addiction is contagious. Merry Christmas to you Danielle!
I am so glad you did this video! I too love amaryllis and have over 20 bulbs that bloom throughout the year. I will take your tips and use them too for better success! Have a wonderful Christmas!
Thank you so much for all your concise and clear information about amaryllis.... this is my new official flower to grow. I gifted myself with 2 bulbs for christmas.... I am super excited after coming upon your video. Thanks so much and happy new year to you. P.S.- This flower can't help but make one happy... 4 blooms per stock this us the jackpot of beauty. Thanks again and also to God for creating such beauty for us to behold. 😊
There is something magical about bulbs that can be grown inside. I have definitely caught amaryllis fever from your previous videos! I had questions about daughter bulbs because I have several on my, still dormant, bulbs and I wasn’t sure when and how I should separate them. I also had questions about cutting the flower stalks to put in a vase. You answered every question!
I've been struglling to bloom by amaryllis for two years now. I will follow very thoroighly your instructions and hopefully succeed. Thank you for your detailed coverage on the full process of not only blooming but caring for an amaryllis. 🙏
I am JUST as excited about Amaryllis as you! I have successfully put them dormant, re bloomed them and basically have learned they are tough as nails. I am in the Pacific Northwest. I have had them bloom in the middle of summer outside (first time this year) and that was TOTALLY exciting! Before I knew anything I just knew they needed to have a dormant period and I uprooted them, wrapped in brown paper until the stalks dried up, then re potted and lo and behold they bloomed just PERFECTLY. So it was a permanent relationship after that. I will use your method this year and just let them dry in their pots in my husbands shop where its dark and cool. So FUN. I have new babies that I have had long enough to bloom and that really is ADDICTING. Love your video! Thank you!
I just received a Minerva for a gift. I knew nothing about amaryllis flowers. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I am going to try all of your advice.
Thank you so much. I have grown them from store-bought bulbs for years but never tried to over summer them. Or use as cut flowers. Such great information and you make it look so doable. You’re are a great teacher.
Thank you for all the info, you explain everything so clearly. Also, I have a different experience this year with amaryllis. I bought a small bulb in Ikea this year for 5 eur (around 5 Usd). I got 3 tall spikes with 4 blooms each. The blooms were not very big, but I was really surprised with the result. The bulbs come from the Netherlands.
Thank you for your very comprehensive and clear video on caring for Amaryllis ... I buy a few new bulbs every year ... some to give away and special varieties that I will keep and enjoy when ... in England ... we are traversing the darkest most dismal months ! Generally we don't get offered bulbs much more than about 32 cms ... commonly they are 26 - 28 cms so usually 2 spikes of flowers ... but always lovely. After my husband died I planted up some new bulbs for my son and me ... I got them going so he could take some home and we exchanged emails on which bulbs was coming into flower fastest. My all time favourite is Black Pearl closely followed by Grand Diva ... just love love love the deep dark shades ! My latest love is Candy Cream ... such a delicious gorgeous 'Barbie' bright pink. You are inspiring me to look after my Amaryllis much more diligently after flowering ... and really build those bulbs up for next Christmas ! Thank you again .... with kind regards, Sarah/
“If that’s not fun, I don’t know what is”.. that part and many more made me laugh lol. It’s all very cute and inspiring. I found this vid today because my best friend bought me an Amaryllis bulb this past November.. she had 5 blooms! It’s halfway through January now, and the flowers have suddenly started to wilt and darken. I had no idea what to do. My experience with plants always ends up with them rotten or dead. This was a perfect video (it even tells us not to water directly into the neck of your Amaryllis, which I may or may not have been prepared to do). Everything was explained so well, in such a helpful progression, and with visual examples, etc. I don’t think I hit rewind even once. Thank you so much for your expertise
Amaryllis are such a nostalgic flower for me! I love them so much! My favorite is Apple Blossom which I realize is so common, but I just enjoy the blooms so much. Thankyou for all the information Danielle! Merry Christmas🎄!
Your amaryllis collection is so beautiful! I purchased a Cherry Nymph amaryllis and I'm glad you mentioned that these are shorter, because I thought I did something wrong. I have around 10 of them. I purchase most of mine from big box stores and was able to find some very rare varieties - at least to me! I'm inspired by your collection and was so happy to get my 1 amaryllis from last year to rebook! I didn't do anything special, but I did stop watering it and placed it outside in the garden container and all.
Great video Danielle . I find it so interesting that we here Down Under - have our Amaryllis available and blooming in Dec/Jan - but here it is Summer and u r in winter and snow ! Altho I guess u r growing them inside as well as we do - so the indoor temps would be the same :) They are like $20 US per bulb here.
Danielle you are a garden book of information and love to hear you explain in detail on everything thank you so much for all the information and love you put into your videos just look forward them all ! Enjoy your Christmas break sending love hugs and Christmas cheer ❤🎄🥰🙌💌Karen from Port Macquarie NSW Australia 🇦🇺
Danielle, I purchased two amaryllis for Christmas this year . They are done blooming so I’m glad I discovered your channel in time to maintain them properly. Great advice. Thank you. Happy New Year. 😊❤️
Great video. I just got my 1st Waxed bulb Amaryllis last month (November) as a grocery store rescue (I'm in the midwest). She bloomed immediately! The 2nd and 3rd blooms are open now (January)! I've taken the 1st spent bloom off. You video helped me u derstand the blooming pattern! Thank you!
I rescued a bulb from the grocery store that was going out of business next door. The plant is named Dominic. Then I took on my neighbor's bulb just before she passed. THAT one produces seeds!!! I have so may Amaryllis babies I'm taking care of :O
Did you grow the seeds, do they look just like the plant they came from or are they different?
Wonderful video.❤ I was curious if you could plant them in the ground?
I love this flower. Every year I buy them for me and my grandchildren. On Sundays we swap pictures to see who is going to be the first to have flowers. Then who has the most blooms. So fun!
I have had the same amaryllis for 26 years, it still flowers and has had many babies😊
Pllllllllll
How long will it take for a 26cm bulb to become a 36cm one.....? (i already know that some varieties don't get bigger at a certain size)

Your sheer Joy for Amaryllis just shined through! Always enjoy and learn so much from you👏👏 Thanks Danielle 💝
Thank you so much for all your information ❤️

This is the first year that I have been able to purchase some amaryllis and I am so excited! Of course, I didn’t buy just 1. Nope, I bought 4! So far. Lol
Thank-you for sharing your knowledge!
This is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! Your passion for amaryllis is infectious!!!
Amaryllis are one of my very favorites too. This was a lot of good information. Thank you.
My mother in law introduced me to this beautiful bulb fifty years ago. What a wonderful surprise when it finally bloomed 😍
@1:14 - I got one of those grow kits. I let it sit in it's box on a shelf till May (I got it in December.) I grew per the directions included and got only leaves. Fast forward to tonight - I depotted the plant and shook out all the roots that had wrapped around the bulb. It must have been happy because the 5 leaves were 4 feet tall and 2" across. It's in a paper bag in my basement for a 2 month rest period. I hope to see a flower next grow. The bulb has almost doubled in size since May. It's in a south-facing window indoors in PA.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thank you for giving us everything in one segment so we can enjoy these flowers ❤
My bulb is very small and has now given me 10 blooms!!!Canada is now in winter..January.know very little about the plant..but now feel have tons of knowledge..cringed when you cut it..thank you so very much,,🇨🇦
Wow thank you! This is the most thorough tutorial I've found. This is my first year trying to grow amaryllis
Oh man ,a friend gave me one. Then after seeing you and learning about them and how they can produce even more. I'm addicted!!
I’m sure you’re having a great day??
Great job Danielle! Your tutorials have given me more confidence in growing my amaryllis this year. I have 7 growing right now that I planted 2 weeks apart. The first ones now have 1-6" flower stalks on them and I get up every morning to check their growth. No matter how many times I've grown an amaryllis I'm amazed at how fast that stalk grows & it gives me so much to look forward to at this time of year when nothing else is blooming. You have so much patience and do a wonderful job explaining all the stages of growing amaryllis. Thank you very much and I wish you and your family a blessed Christmas season!!

So glad I found you. I am now expecting my Amaryllis collection to flourish and grow.
I grew a beautiful pink and white double Nymph amaryllis for my Mom and sister for Christmas this year. It made my Mom so happy to watch the bulb grow, she told me that instead of buying her gifts or presents in the future, she'd prefer I give her an amaryllis. Its an easy, inexpensive, but beautiful gift that gives the recipients so much pleasure !
you are so funny how excited you are about Amaryllis ....I love it.
You got me hooked! Now I have three and one is just coming out of dormancy. I can’t wait to see it bloom again. Thank you for sharing all of your expertise on these interesting and beautiful plants.
I’m sure you’re having a great day??
This is my first amaryllis. I bought it from a local Lowe’s, (Christmas 2024). My amaryllis stem is really tall and tilted so I came to UA-cam for counsel and found this video. Thank you for such a comprehensive video.
You were one of the first UA-camrs that got me curious about growing and reblooming these beauties. I've gone from 2 to 7 Amaryllis ( 3 of those are offsets) in 3 years. I bought inexpensive kits and it's been so exciting to beef up those bulbs and have them rebloom. Placing them into the garden for the summer vs leaving in pots sure did put on more grow. Also I use a slow release bloom fertilizer now as soon as they come out of dormancy to help them recharge for next season's blooms. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Great to know friend! Thanks for the information!
Our first Amaryllis given as a gift and wanted to share this was a great informational
Hi Danielle,
I want to tell you thank you! I appreciate the time that you've taken to teach me so much!
My first career was in speech pathology. I decided to work as a speech therapist with Texas public schools. Then I experienced health problems that interfered with my career and hence my retirement.
During those 30 years my love of growing plants developed as a way to connect with my grandfather that was a farmer. It was a great experience as I was growing up to help granddaddy around on the farm.
I apologize for diving deep into my history but I think it's a nice foundation into who I am.
I live in zone 8a. And I realize that I need to make adjustments from your zone to my zone.
The good news is that you have inspired me to begin my flower farm this upcoming season. It's a little scary because I'm single after a devastating divorce but I love growing veggies and flowers!
Plus, I felt that Amaryllis was out of reach due to my beginner skill level but after this video, I will give it a try!
I have searched for a mentor but it hasn't materialized yet.
In addition, I was also inspired with the idea of giving from the video that you shared with your guest. I already had that plan but it helped me to focus on working out the details!
Thank you again for your encouragement & guidance! 🙏🏼
I would love to keep you posted, if you are available. 💞🌹
Best wishes,
Shelley
Hey Danielle, is there any way to save amaryllis bulbs that were waxed and bloomed for Christmas?
@@margaret4006
I live in Houston. Is this a good time to divide some Amaryllis' that have multiplied & are planted in the ground? 11/12/23
Wow, you are so knowledgeable, I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. I have my first Amaryllis, I'm so excited for my new adventure. Thank you for sharing your years of growing knowledge😊
Danielle, thank you so much for this video! I have gifted several amaryllis this year and will send links of this to each recipient. I love all your videos but especially the amaryllis ones as they are my passion too! Thank you for sharing all your gardening adventures.
Hello 👋 😊 this channel is really educating
i have successfully propagated amaryllis from seeds. Such a thrill! They take longer to bloom, but the little seedlings are so beautiful!
My plant produced 2 round bulbs at the end of the blooms I assume these contain seeds do I need to let them dry out before harvesting?
Thanks for teaching and encouraging us all the time! My collection is growing.🥰
I never knew anything that you discussed before about these bulbs. I learned so much today. Thank you for sharing this video.
Ooh, I didn't know they sprouted babies! I hope I can order a few interesting varieties next year. Your addiction is contagious. Merry Christmas to you Danielle!
I did either 😊 can’t wait to see if I can ge soneb
I never heard of this plant and now I need to order many bulbs. I’m really looking forward to this. Thank You
Thanks to you, my first year growing amaryllis!! Can’t wait!!❤
Hello 👋 😊 this channel is really educating.. what do you think?
Wow! Thank you! I learned so much and you have helped me to overcome my fear of planting Amaryllis through your knowledge and super video!
I am so glad you did this video! I too love amaryllis and have over 20 bulbs that bloom throughout the year. I will take your tips and use them too for better success! Have a wonderful Christmas!
Thank you so much for all your concise and clear information about amaryllis.... this is my new official flower to grow. I gifted myself with 2 bulbs for christmas.... I am super excited after coming upon your video. Thanks so much and happy new year to you.
P.S.- This flower can't help but make one happy... 4 blooms per stock this us the jackpot of beauty.
Thanks again and also to God for creating such beauty for us to behold. 😊
Thanks so much for the info and inspiration! I also loved your Christmas tour of Longwood
Glad you mentioned about when the bulb-let will bloom, I have been trying to find that out. Thanks, very informative video.
There is something magical about bulbs that can be grown inside. I have definitely caught amaryllis fever from your previous videos! I had questions about daughter bulbs because I have several on my, still dormant, bulbs and I wasn’t sure when and how I should separate them. I also had questions about cutting the flower stalks to put in a vase. You answered every question!
I’m sure you’re having a great day??
You can grow daffodils bulbs on rocks and water for January, February flowers
I've been struglling to bloom by amaryllis for two years now. I will follow very thoroighly your instructions and hopefully succeed. Thank you for your detailed coverage on the full process of not only blooming but caring for an amaryllis. 🙏
I love how contagious your joy for these plants is!! I always love your videos Danielle 💕
I’m sure you’re having a great day??
My Great grandmother was from Oklahoma. Beautiful things in the store. Thank you for sharing.
I am JUST as excited about Amaryllis as you! I have successfully put them dormant, re bloomed them and basically have learned they are tough as nails. I am in the Pacific Northwest. I have had them bloom in the middle of summer outside (first time this year) and that was TOTALLY exciting! Before I knew anything I just knew they needed to have a dormant period and I uprooted them, wrapped in brown paper until the stalks dried up, then re potted and lo and behold they bloomed just PERFECTLY. So it was a permanent relationship after that. I will use your method this year and just let them dry in their pots in my husbands shop where its dark and cool. So FUN. I have new babies that I have had long enough to bloom and that really is ADDICTING. Love your video! Thank you!
I just received a Minerva for a gift. I knew nothing about amaryllis flowers. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I am going to try all of your advice.
I was gifted my first amaryllis and it's just about to bloom. This video is perfect for what to do when it's spent to enjoy next year. Thank you!!
Thank you so much. I have grown them from store-bought bulbs for years but never tried to over summer them. Or use as cut flowers. Such great information and you make it look so doable. You’re are a great teacher.
I’m sure you’re having a great day?
Thank you for all the info, you explain everything so clearly. Also, I have a different experience this year with amaryllis. I bought a small bulb in Ikea this year for 5 eur (around 5 Usd). I got 3 tall spikes with 4 blooms each. The blooms were not very big, but I was really surprised with the result. The bulbs come from the Netherlands.
Thank you for your very comprehensive and clear video on caring for Amaryllis ... I buy a few new bulbs every year ... some to give away and special varieties that I will keep and enjoy when ... in England ... we are traversing the darkest most dismal months ! Generally we don't get offered bulbs much more than about 32 cms ... commonly they are 26 - 28 cms so usually 2 spikes of flowers ... but always lovely. After my husband died I planted up some new bulbs for my son and me ... I got them going so he could take some home and we exchanged emails on which bulbs was coming into flower fastest. My all time favourite is Black Pearl closely followed by Grand Diva ... just love love love the deep dark shades ! My latest love is Candy Cream ... such a delicious gorgeous 'Barbie' bright pink. You are inspiring me to look after my Amaryllis much more diligently after flowering ... and really build those bulbs up for next Christmas ! Thank you again .... with kind regards, Sarah/
Thank you for sharing your experience. Your collection is amazing and I am inspired to try some new amaryllis especially the white. Stunning !
“If that’s not fun, I don’t know what is”.. that part and many more made me laugh lol. It’s all very cute and inspiring. I found this vid today because my best friend bought me an Amaryllis bulb this past November.. she had 5 blooms! It’s halfway through January now, and the flowers have suddenly started to wilt and darken. I had no idea what to do. My experience with plants always ends up with them rotten or dead. This was a perfect video (it even tells us not to water directly into the neck of your Amaryllis, which I may or may not have been prepared to do). Everything was explained so well, in such a helpful progression, and with visual examples, etc. I don’t think I hit rewind even once. Thank you so much for your expertise
Amaryllis are such a nostalgic flower for me! I love them so much! My favorite is Apple Blossom which I realize is so common, but I just enjoy the blooms so much. Thankyou for all the information Danielle! Merry Christmas🎄!
Apple Blossom is a Classic
Very common
And still Majestic
I have an apple blossom with 10 blooms right now!
@@erinsharp3646
Awesome! LUCKY YOU!
I have 10 Apple Blossoms bulbs.
Some are in bloom with 4 to 6 flowers per stalk.
The rest are in bud.
Mine are in bloom right now. So beautiful.

Thank you! Your videos made me want to buy a cart full of these!
Thank you! I hope your husband helps you to make that dinner for your family if you have one.
This is the best, most informative video I have seen about all aspects of growing amaryllus plants. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Danielle, for sharing your passion of Amaryllis with us, that was a great tutorial. 👍
I got my first Amaryills this year. It's bloomed, beautifully, in red. I love it! I came across your video. Thank you!
This was sooooo helpful and educational, thank you so much! May all your amaryllis bloom forever and ever 😁🌷
Thanks for all of your work making this video! Now, I am confident enough to go and buy my first Amaryllis Bulbs. What Fun!!!!
Your amaryllis collection is so beautiful! I purchased a Cherry Nymph amaryllis and I'm glad you mentioned that these are shorter, because I thought I did something wrong. I have around 10 of them. I purchase most of mine from big box stores and was able to find some very rare varieties - at least to me! I'm inspired by your collection and was so happy to get my 1 amaryllis from last year to rebook! I didn't do anything special, but I did stop watering it and placed it outside in the garden container and all.
Your explanation is so good and thorough! Thank you!
Great video Danielle . I find it so interesting that we here Down Under - have our Amaryllis available and blooming in Dec/Jan - but here it is Summer and u r in winter and snow ! Altho I guess u r growing them inside as well as we do - so the indoor temps would be the same :) They are like $20 US per bulb here.
Fabulous information--I bought bulbs this year due to your careful instructions---! Thank you!
Danielle you are a garden book of information and love to hear you explain in detail on everything thank you so much for all the information and love you put into your videos just look forward them all ! Enjoy your Christmas break sending love hugs and Christmas cheer ❤🎄🥰🙌💌Karen from Port Macquarie NSW Australia 🇦🇺
Excellent video! Fascinating to hear all the details about Amaryllis. Thank you!
Danielle, I purchased two amaryllis for Christmas this year . They are done blooming so I’m glad I discovered your channel in time to maintain them properly. Great advice. Thank you. Happy New Year. 😊❤️
Great video. I just got my 1st Waxed bulb Amaryllis last month (November) as a grocery store rescue (I'm in the midwest). She bloomed immediately! The 2nd and 3rd blooms are open now (January)! I've taken the 1st spent bloom off.
You video helped me u derstand the blooming pattern! Thank you!
