My father only had one Amaryllis that he had for years and it always bloomed. When he passed, I became its new caretaker. I got it to bloom after one year of care but in the end it died in the Tucson heat. But, you have inspired me to try again. Your channel is great!
I have one that is coming up to its 3rd Christmas. It’s still outside at the moment, likely coming in a week or so. My question is do I cut the leaves down now and let it rest to begin its growth for the new stalk to form?
@@plantvibrationsI am not worried about Christmas blooming and I just covered my potted plants with a black garbage bag and put them into my covered window well outside. I didn’t cut the foliage back, though. They haven’t been watered in some time, now. Should I have cut the foliage back or just wait for them to wither on their own?
Hi I'm in zone 5b. I typically put the Amaryllis bulbs in a pot outside in dappled light for the summer. I take them in, probably today after separating them and empty the dirt in the pot. I put the bills in the same empty pot in a closet to dry and repot two months later for the winter bloom. Do you have a better method for me?
I inherited an amaryllis bulb about the size of a softball. The 3 leaves ‘were’ about 2.5’ tall. I followed all general planting instructions, (before finding your channel) but the leaves yellowed. Any suggestions?
I sprouted seeds in a deep little bowl they take a real long time. Over a month. Leave them in the water till their is one green leaf. I'm going to watch the video the amaryllis man made on hydrogen peroxide. On the formula. I remember him saying don't get it on the leaves. Don't want to bring in any bugs. One year I brought in aphids in had a big problem all winter trying to get rid of them.
I was given an Amaryllis bulb from a neighbor! Thanks for the help!
Glad I could help!

Wonderful!

Mar Mingo
Good spring project!
@@plantvibrations yup, i have so many babies from the original 2 bulbs😍
Beautiful flower and large. I had one that grew 6" across. Easy plant to grow from dormancy. I need tips on keeping then alive after flowering.
If you just put them outside in the summer
Im in zone 9b south Louisiana, i have about 50 large bulbs outside and I've picked up over 50 pups just this year . Christmas gifts lol😂
Wow!! What great gifts
Haven't put mine 'to sleep' yet. they seem to be happy/growing in an East facing Bay Window. might as well let them pack on the energy. :)
Likewise, I just let them cycle thru on their own rhythm these days
Really great info on an really beautiful flower!
Many thanks

i've stopped trying to time it for christmas blooming and just let them bloom on their own schedule. less things to think about!

I just got the red amaryllis from QVC. I live in Florida, Orlando area, can I keep the plant outside all year long? and never bring it inside?
Yes you can!
Devin I took my bulbs and cut the foliage off and have them drying did I do that wrong they were outside all summer help what domI do next? Thanks
Keep them in a dark and cool location for the next two months and then plant back up
Thank you so much!!!!

Sounds like you have a good system

Likely just seasonal!
Hi Devin
Have you grown amaryllis from seed? I'm wondering should the seedling be put into dormancy? No one talks about the seedlings 😅
I have some seeds waiting on me to grow them lol

@@michaelh7506I use 2tbls of 3% hydrogen peroxide in about a gallon of water to clean the bulbs I'm bringing inside.
@@kimlewis5429 thanks
are you like plant xqc? 🙂
:)
You got a haircut
Yep
I love this flower, but it is poisonous to cats! I have a cat, so therefore I do not grow them.
👍
Is it the flower or also the leaves?
