I bought an amaryllis bulb from Michigan Bulb Company back in 1996 when I was stationed in North Carolina. It bloomed once, then nothing. I moved back to Houston, placed the bulb in a paper bag in the cabinet, and left it there for a few months. I then planted it in the backyard. It has consistently bloomed and multiplied for the past 28 years.
I have had great success replanting these! My only concern is that sometimes mold develops undeneath the wax, but a little rubbing alcohol takes care of it!!🌺🌸🌱
You can take off the wax and the fake bulb layer the blackish stuff is rotted then you have a amaryllis bulb
Since you have experience, can. You post here how to do this? Did they put wax or glue on the bottom part? Can’t tell……
So funny that I just saw a wax amaryllis for the first time yesterday! I live in a zone 10 here in southern CA - about 10 years ago I was given my first amaryllis bulb as a gift. In my inexperienced knowledge of the bulb, after it bloomed I thought I would just plant it outside like any other bulb - and I’m happy to say that I have had 10 years of beautiful blooms! I planted it in a shady spot, it has been in that same spot in the ground for 10 years (I don’t dig it up to move inside), soil is above its neck (and when it rains, water gets inside the neck), it will lose all its leaves once a year in late winter and blooms in early summer. Our winters average 44-55 degrees at night, rarely dipping into the 30’s (very short 2 month winters) and average winter day temps in 60-70’s. It also tolerates our summers that average high 80’s to low 100’s. I’m sure our micro-climate has a lot to do with its success - we’re used to gardening year-round here. 🤗🌺🌼🌸🌹🌻🥰
I have wondered how those waxed amaryllis were doing and I’ll admit how surprised I was. In a good way. It will be interesting to see the next process. 🌱❤️😊
Perfect timing on this video. I was wondering what to do with my wax covered amaryllis. Thank you so much.
Me as well !
I love my Amaryllis....I started with one plant as a gift 20 years ago it has grown to at least five. They are in one huge pot...they go out in the spring and come back in the fall. I've actually had blooms in both July and December. Just had four stalks with two blooms each...two just died out and two just bloomed. I am so happy with this plant😊🥰
That's awesome, lucky you!
Are yours waterless? Did you potted them in a container?
@@andresfresa123 I replant in new soil every two years or so. I also leave them in the planter and put the planter outside once the Michigan frost is gone🪴
do you stop watering once the leaves and stalk have dropped ?
@@Mary-zr2uy No...I continue to water when soil is dry😊
I'm always astonished that there would EVER be any 'thumbs down' on a Garden Answer video... yet there they are🤷♀️😐
Annie Nation These are the poor people that must not have green thumps!
Mary Barnhill Well then these vids are definitely for them. Haha I love plants, flowers and trees but I dont have a green thumb lol...and she inspires me to not give up!! I grew my 1st amaryllis this yr. Well... I didnt really do anything lol but it bloomed beautifully and I was excited.
I agree, Annie Nation. 100%. What in the world merits a 👎?
Nunya Bidness Yes, Garden Answer has taught me a lot. I have a brother that has a black thumb. It is by spit choose though.
i've often wondered that, too? if you don't like it, why even bother to thumbs down it? just don't watch it? i could watch Laura do dishes and i'd be happy! she's just FUN :)
In Houston we mix them in the landscape along with Agapanthus. The leaves are similar and the have a different bloom time! Fun! Fun!
Living down in south Louisiana, I can plant them out in my beds and they may or may not die down in the winter. But they come back and bloom in the spring. 😊
The wax looks like velvet on camera, so beautiful!
When you plant the bulbs outside, do you only plant it 1/2 to 2/3rds deep just as you do in pots? Are these tastie to squirrels, rabbits, deer?
I have the same questions as Julie!!
I'd also like an answer to this.
I hope someone knows the answer to your question I am also curious.
Hopefully we’ll find out in Monday’s Recap video!
I plant outside just as Laura did in her video for the same reason she mentioned. I have squirrels and rabbits that visit my yard but they have never bothered the Amaryllis. I'm in SE Virginia next to the NC border, zone 8. I have all my Amaryllis planted in flowerbeds and I don't have to bring them in for the winter.
Omg!!! I just took the last bloom off mine this morning. I was wondering what I should do with it. I am so glad your video popped up this morning. I was going to toss it!!... 😲...lol. Thank you for all the great information. I can't wait to see if it works for me. Yay!!!
don't. don't toss your bulbs that's what the growers want you to do. that way you buy more bulbs. Instead when the blooms die, let the leaves die back. They should turn papery and crumbly. That's caused by the plant sucking all the nutrients out of the leaves. After they turn papery and crumbly the bulb is done with them.
also bulbs grown in water or on stones and water WILL rot if you don't give them soil. Those bulbs are food storage for the plant and because they're calorie heavy any microorganism that can WILL infect and consume your bulb turning it to stinky mush.
@@AnimeShinigami13 Thank you!
I just was given one of these. My friend was told to toss them because the roots were cut off. So glad to see this video.
So I have Amaryllis that is from My Great Grandmothers house (then my Grandmother, and my Mother) I have watched these grow for decades! my mom gave me the pot of bulbs about 10 years ago and I separated them out about 2 years ago where I found about 10-12 inches of bulbs on top of each other!
I have been placing the pot outside every summer and bring them in just before it freezes outside. Every winter I get LOADS of flowers from Jan-April! As soon as the weather gets nice out (after last freeze) I will again place outside and I will AGAIN get blooms (not as big or as many) in July-Sept!!! Mom said she didn't get the blooms in summer so was very surprised, but she didn't put them outside. So I hope YOU get a surprise if you plant them outside! :)
Good Luck, Stephanie
Do you store them in a cool dark place when you bring them in? Cut the leaves off?
You will laugh but in July in Montana we found a red amaryllis blooming in the garage in a bag on a shelf. We don't remember putting it there. It was beautiful.
I "inherited" my mom flowers after she passed, everithing is still alive and almost all pretty well, only don`t have luck with Amaryllis, only leavs, no blooms.
Make sure you fertilize in the summer, while they can take a drought and neglect without a problem, they will only flower when they get enough energy. I always put mine outside the summer and keep the fertilizer coming until september
Same with the one I have from my late grandmother - no blooms
I take my bulbs out of the soil in August (middle to late). Place them in a dry cool place. Then 6-8 weeks after you have taken them out of the soil you will replant them. They will rebloom for you.
@@thomas1918 I use a time release fertilizer once a month. My bulbs get bigger and produce lots more 💐. Blessings
My bulbs must be starving...
I mean if you fail to bloom a waxed amaryllis you really need to question yourself. As far as what they are, this is like torture by mutilation… I hate the horticulture industry when it comes up with these things
This was exactly what I wanted to hear! It’s a year later and I have 14 waxed bulbs from last year, all were planted outside and now they all have huge, gorgeous leaves. Now they’re back inside and fingers crossed that some of them bloom again!
I love when you include us in the hypothesis stage!!! I can’t wait to see how it turns out, and thankful to watch you go through while I don’t have the space to do it!
I'm thrilled to see this video today. It's my first year of trying Amaryllis, getting them from Connecticut as you suggested last fall. They are in differing stages of growth and bloom. The white ones have been blooming first and are absolutely Magnificent! The red haven't bloomed but are moving right along. My season for bloom is going to be extensive. And the size of each plant and the blooms themselves are enormous. This is beyond description. Yes, I'm going along with your replanting journey, too. How exciting!!
This was so helpful. Thank you! Hint for removing stickers off containers: massage in one drop of lemon essential oil!!
I've never done these in wax before, in fact before you I didn't know they existed. They are now going to be my choice each Christmas season. Thanks for the aftercare on them, I wondered.
they are meant to be thrown away....a solution for non gardeners. Successful rooting of them is unlikely.
I waxed some bulbs last winter, and then I planted the bulbs in small pots, and the plants lived on my deck all summer. It’s getting close to our first freeze, so I’ve pulled the bulbs out of their pots, and they have an amazing amount of roots! I will stick the bulbs in a storage tub in my garage or basement for 6 weeks. I don’t know if I will try to wax them again or just repot them.
I've had great success putting my amaryllis outside during the summer. I live in Minnesota and only have a deck but they live quite happily in pots and our regular rainfall took care of most of the watering. They've over summered outside for two years now and they both keep blooming.
I'm in the western part of the state, Zone 4b. My grandkids have me my 1st ever Amaryllis for Christmas & I was wondering what to do with it over summer. How do you keep your bulbs under the deck, what exposure do they get & what part of MN are you in? I'm only asking because as you know we have anywhere from Zone 5a near Fairmont along the Iowa border to Zone 3a in the North with a hod-podge in between. You just leave yours in the pots & place them under your deck? Thanks
I live in Galveston, Texas. Original small pots. I water just a little with a weak amount of fertilize each weak pin my patio facing north. These 3 bulbs have bloomed 2 times with 2 bloom stalks in a year. I've had them 4 years. Every time I think of repotting I don't and am amazed by them!!!
🌺🌿🌸
Oh thank you for this info, please keep us updated w/this years plan😀
I have a collection of about 5 amaryllis that live outside in my garden. They are evergreen here in Australia. Mine live in full sun that’s really dry they bloom in spring and through summer
Same here in New Zealand 😍
Same here in South Africa 😁
Curious, what is your zone?
Blake1013 same for me in the Mediterranean coast of Spain
Valerie Elfering Australia doesn’t use the American zoning system however I was able to find a conversion of the American zones to suit Australia and we are about zone 9 to 10. Or using a different system a Mediterranean climate.
So excited to follow along and see the process in April when you plant them, in september when you dig them up, and next Christmas when they bloom again 🥰
I received a waxed amaryllis bulb for Christmas. By Feb 2 or so, it began to bloom. It produced 7 red flowers in a short time, most looking great simultaneously. There were 2 stalks. After the flowers died, I left the stalks alone. Now fast forward to March 27. A new stalk shot up so quickly that by today, April 4, it is 17” tall! Incl the bulb height of 3.25”. The original 2 were about 12”. It is on a hall table with no direct light. I will keep it as is and hope it does well with no bulb rot.
OMG WHAT AN INSPIRING STORY!! Just got one yesterday, which happens to be the same day yours began to bloom!!!! Feb 2, 2023… One year ago. Hope yours has done just as well this year😇 Mine came in a glass vase with pebbles and am wondering if I should keep it this way. May I ask what pot your Amaryllis came in? and i’m so glad you included the size of the bulb😂 I’m measuring mine in hopes it’s as big as yours😇😇
i live in zone 7, i’ve planted mine in the landscape and took them out when it got really cold. the bulbs were much bigger than when i planted them in the spring. still in the house and doing good!
I'm in zone 8 also and I have all my Amaryllis (about a dozen) planted outside. I have never brought them inside. They bloom beautifully every year.
Same here plant them outside and leave them
That´s good to hear. I might try that with my ancient ones that are indoors all year long. I’m afraid to lose them, they have emotinal value for me. But I’m in zone 6b, they wouldn’t survive winter outside, I think
I always take credit when my plants bloom! "Look what I did!"
Amber Church: LOL
My motto:
Oh, my plant died: "well, everybody knows agriculture is tough".
Look, my plant is in bloom: " awwww, look what I did, I do have green fingers".
Great spirits think alike :)
Gostaria de saber o que vc colocou ao redor do bulbo?
You were so thorough in describing everything! You kept answering questions that kept popping up in my head.
I do have a question about your trellises in the background. Did you find a way to keep them flat with the house?
I have a perfect spot along our house and these would work perfectly for me.
She attached them to their house
AJ Gem yes, thank you. When she put them up one or two were bowing out. I was wondering if it fixes itself or if she had to reinforce it.
Katie Lynn This is the video where she attached the trellises to her house...

Great detailed video. I'm excited to see how they all turn out next year and am committed to trying it myself!
I gave one of these waxed amaryllis to my mother. She is a “retired gardener “. She loved it. Beautiful!
What a wonderful and sweet idea for a "retired gardener". I'm going to follow your lead on that one, Mary Barnhill. 💚
Laura I'm so glad you did this and I so look forward to seeing how it does in the landscape. I figure if anyone can make these bloom again, it is you. I am quite proud of myself too as mine bloomed beautifully, much to my surprise!, and was so disappointed when I found out it was a one-time bloomer. Thanks for all you and Aaron do for us!
Are Amaryllis hardy in zone 8? Or does moiture damage the bulb in winter?😅
Such an Awesome Video! Thank you so much for all of the information! You Rock!
I love new Garden Answer videos in the morning 🥰🥰🥰
Me too, Missy T345. I enjoy it first thing with a cup of coffee.
Thx u 4 this video I was very skeptical about the waxed bulbs also.
My neighbor and I just saved our waxed bulbs! Everyone said that the bulbs were unsalvageable but after taking off the wax and metal stand there were healthy roots! There was some gross outer layers but they were easily removed, like an onion. Since transplant the salvaged bulbs bloomed once more and fingers crossed for possibly more!
I came across your channel when looking up general care of amaryllis before removing the wax.
Interesting.
I'm a little late to trying this but bought my first (regular, not waxed) Amarylis bulb this year...kinda forgot to plant it until late December but it must be very forgiving because just this week, it has shot up from nothing to about an 8 inch stalk. Very excited to see it bloom. Thanks for the inspiration to try!!
I’ve had Amaryllis planted in the landscape for several years now and they have bloomed and spread nicely. The blooms are huge every summer. In the Fall I cut them to the ground. I live in East Tennessee.
Jewell Lowe how deep do you plant them outside?
@gardenanswer I am in toronto ontario canada and i find you can even use them as tropical folliage in the centre of your summer planters! The strappy leaves make for a beautiful centre piece! Simple greens but its a similar effect to the dracaena spike or an ornamental grass in the centre of a planter. They will do well with fertalizing and make good companions for other plants. :)
I live in zone 7b, we grow them in the ground in big drifts like you do your tulips and they bloom early summer, stunning from a distance!
Will the bulb(s) rot because of the holes on the bottom?
I LOVE that rose rim planter! Gorgeous!
Good morning. Love the planter. Thanks for the tutorial. I purchased one from Trader Joe's) $7.99) before Christmas so I'm watching closely to rebloom.
I’m wondering what the little bulb is that formed after I cut the dead blooms off and left it alone. It’s in the green end of the flowering part that is done and cut off. Is it. Seed pod? How do I plant that?
This is the most exciting thing you have done for me! I have 5 bulbs I want to get in the ground. I won't be digging mine up since they come up by themselves again year to year in my area. I just don't know how to put them in the ground. Hurry up spring... I need that next video! Huge thanks Laura!
what zone are you in?
The wax bulbs seems so neat and easy. Will give one a try next year. 😁💚🌱
Thank you for doing an Amaryllis after care video! I did purchase "naked" bulbs & a waxed bulb for the first time, I am following the tips that came with the "naked" bulbs for their after bloom care but I was wondering what to with the waxed bulb after it blooms! Now I know & will follow your method for the after bloom care!! We will see how mine do & if I can get them to bloom again, crossing my fingers!! 🤞🙂🌿🌱👍💚🔍
Oh, Amaryllis. 🤦♀️ Still so confusing to me. I think I read somewhere that not every variety of amaryllis requires dormancy to rebloom, but I haven’t been able to find the source. I have had amaryllis bloom a little bit at odd times, like one of my 6 bulbs put out a spike with 2 flowers last summer. The dormancy process has worked for one of my amaryllis varieties, (Nymph, possibly 🤔), but not others. I’d love it if you could explain the different needs of various cultivars or if you could do an interview with someone who grows amaryllis professionally or displays them in shows. Thanks!
If you are not supposed to get water in the the top of the bulb, wouldn't planting it outside allow rain to get in and cause it to rot?
Now I’m looking for a a follow up video to see if your plan was successful!!
Hahaha!!!! I got some too and was definitely proud of myself that they bloomed! You are not alone :) And they are beautiful!!!
Perfect timing! I was just wondering what to do with mine! 🤞🏻
My waxed amaryllis didn't grow too much. Maybe it was because I have it in my office with artificial lights.
I’m 13 seconds late. lol. This literally just popped up 13 seconds ago...and 34 people have already watched it.
That because it was offered to the members yesterday.
Correct!
@@claudiasmith9117 just wondering what do you mean "to members"? Do you mean UA-cam subscribers or Garden Answer subscribers? I ask because I may want to become a member. Thx in advance!
@@Lnstrq Hi! I would classify that as Garden Answer subscribers. When you watch the video, just under the likes/dislikes ther is a link to 'join' or maybe it says 'donate' or 'membership' click there and follow through. It's $4.99 USD a month and you can cancel at any time.
Now we dont see all videos in advance, just some and that also goes for advance viewing of some pics posted to Instagram and Facebook.
That will be a great experiment. Hope they do well, looking forward to the next bloom season.
My friend had bought an amaryllis bulb and it bloomed and he did nothing to it except water periodically. They never fertilize either. But this thing has had pups and new bulbs grow off of it and they just leave it year round in a room with windows all around and northern exposure on Lake Huron and it just grows and grows and blooms 2- 3 times per year. It is amazing. So I finally broke down and bought a “waterless” amaryllis at my local Meijer store and it bloomed beautifully of course because it was forced to for sale. It is still blooming and I came here to see what I should do next or if there were two types of bulbs. My casing on the outside of the bulb feels like air space between and a firm bulb inside so when it is done I will remove the spent blooms then stalk and do the same thing. I’m afraid to plant it outdoors because we are in a forest and have a lot of animals to deal with. Manly deer and rabbits. I find though that putting Milorganite around my plants which is an all natural fertilizer, safe for pets etc, the wild animals don’t like it and stay away. I was hospitalized and while in the hospital my cardiologist sat down on my bed and told me all about the stuff! I was com-paining that my hostas were eaten by the deer. He uses it and so he said, I’m discharging you and I want you to go directly to the hardware store around the corner. I have them buy this stuff for me and it’s the only store around that has it! So I went and my plants have been happy ever since! And my hostas grew back!
Thank you. Very helpful. I bought a couple of the waxed ones on clearance after Christmas so just waiting for them to bloom. 😁
You are the best Laura! My husband always picks one of these from Trader Joes every year and doesnt know what to do with them!
This is the first year I grew amaryllis because of watching your videos. I love them! I’m learning so much about gardening thanks to you and look foreword planting my amaryllis out in the landscape.
I just bought my first waxed Amaryllis…two as gifts and one for me. Thanks for this video!
Thanks for doing this video! I was very curious about these too. Will definitely give them a try this year. A great and unique gift idea! ♥️💚
Thanks Laura.
I have one and it's not yet bloomed. It's almost there. Can't wait. I have been waiting for awhile
Wonderful--thank you for this!!! I've always grown mine and then thrown them away. I still have one to try to save ♥
I love your videos, I went from a city lot & 1/2 to a one bed apt. ( my balcony gets to be a jungle!
But I learn SO much from you!
And I love when you go to upper Michigan!to Mackinaw.
Thank you for your inspiration & determination.youre an awesome lady!
When you mentioned setting up the camera, it made me think that that would be a great video. In other words would love to watch a video of "behind the scenes" - you being filmed as your vlogging and the equipment Aaron uses, lights, drones etc. You know, when you don't have anything to do. LOL. Seriously though, have always wondered what goes into producing a segment. Thanks again for all you both do!!
your studio tho. I can barely see it and can tell it's adorbs. BTW your eyes a bee-ay-yoo-tiff-full! thanks for the great work and for making the world even more beautiful for our families.
Great gift idea. My mother in-law tends to over water potted bulbs I have given her .this is great
It's okay to take pride in doing nothing, Laura. I do it all the time for simply not killing my neglected houseplants. ~ Lisa
They respond well left in pots and put outdoors, watered and fertilized like a summer container, best if located near pots that you water and feed regularly so they don't get forgotten.This eliminates the steps of planting and digging back up. They grow beautiful leaves and the bulbs really increase in diameter (the ultimate goal) they add great texture wherever you locate them.😉 We are lucky in that we can plant them in the gardens (zone 8) and they bloom in spring, we do keep a few in pots as well.😉
Hi Laura! As you love strappy leaves, you may well know about Clivia, a beautiful South African plant. Here's a link! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clivia
As ever, great information here, thank you!
Hi Laura and Aaron, love your channel! I have two questions... First, I was given a couple of leftover tulip bulbs and I don’t know if I should plant them in a pot now or wait for next fall. If I should wait, what’s the best way to store them?
Also, I’m currently growing hyacinth bulbs in water indoor and I was wondering how to transition them to landscape planting for next year?
Thanks for all your videos!
Future goal to try Amaryllis!! ❤️
I just bought an Amaryllis this past weekend and it was in its box with top open and was on its second growth. It had already bloomed once with no water, soil, wax, or anything. They are very tough.
Thanks so much for this video! I too have my first waxed amaryllis bulb and was looking to see if I could transplant it to soil and keep it. I opened mine up and mine is starting to have little root nubs, so I hope being in the soil they will grow and it will thrive. Please give us an update to see how yours are doing. :)
If we keep the bulbs indoors after they bloom, should we keep in a dark area or should we refrigerate? I’m in 7b. My first time with amaryllis and Id love to keep it year after year.
Very timely video, Laura! Did not know what to do with the bulb after the second bloom stalk is done. I hope you do a follow up video to show us if the bulb did produce roots and it is a healthy plant. Also, if it produces bloom stalks for next year. Love the planter too!
Jackson Perkins and other sites say that waxed amaryllis are a one shot bloom, because the basal plate and roots have been cut off prior to waxing. How is basal plate restored?
Yeah, I've been reading/hearing that comment as well. If it's true, that's kind of a waste/rip-off to sacrifice the long-term life of a plant just for a decorative wax coating.
Hi, I have a lot of them and I put them on porch in summer and feed every 2 weeks or so. I brought them in and ignored them and every single one has bloomed! I will try try to put in garden this season and see if bulb size increases. So fun to experiment with different things! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love Russell! He is a great addition to the program 😻 I learned a whole lot about amaryllis! Thank you
I can only get my amaryllis bulbs to grow 3 years, then it's done. Every year the bulb gets smaller and smaller.. anyone know what I'm doing wrong... I'd appreciate some advice lol 😁
Also, I bought my first waxed bulb this year, literally yesterday..so I'm excited to see how gorgeous her blooms are and if I can grow it afterwards 🥰🥰
I'm right there with you. I'm going to relocate mine to more afternoon shade (zone 9B, FL) and plant higher up. Hopefully in two years I'll see blooms again. I"ll also fertilize more. Good luck to you.
A friend of mine has an amaryllis plant that is potted inside, NEVER hibernated. Last few years she hasn't had blooming. But she waters them like a normal house plant. Now, the bulb is like a cantaloupe--HUGE. And it spawned a side-bulb. Leaf stalks are enormous. She's too busy to bother with handling the plant properly. Anyway, it could be that you might need more time fertilized and sun exposed before hibernating, so the bulb takes in plenty of nutrients to keep from shrinking.
@@GaryAKline Thanks Gary, I appreciate your thoughts. Mine don't go dormant either and usually have leaves. They were getting 6 hrs+ of sun in the FL summer heat and I think that may have been too much. We're going for dappled light this time around. That's what I notice in other FL UA-cam videos. Mine reproduce, just haven't bloomed the last two or three years. I think mine have/had red blotch too, which could be part of the problem. Anyways, I dug up, soaked in a weak bleach solution, and replanted the bulbs. They are in 4 different places around the yard so I can get a better feel on light and a few are in pots that can be moved around. I definitely agree with you on the fertilizing. I gave them Espoma Flower Tone 3-4-5 when put back in the ground. Hopefully that will help. Do you have a fertilizer or strength to suggest? I hope your friend's amaryllis blooms this year. 🙂
This is awesome. Thank you for this video. I bought 8 different colors of these in December. And had no idea what they were. But my curiosity got the best of me so I bought them. They are just now starting to show signs of buds. So I should have flowers within the week. Hopefully from videos like this I will learn how to properly care for them and have their beauty for a long time.
That's so interesting to me because my amaryllis and paperwhites always rebloom pretty much. And I literally throw them in my christmas decorations box.
love the bulbs!. I have a side question. did you make the wreath with the dried fruit? if so is there a video? i am wanting a winter wreath and it is quite lovely. Dee
Question. Why biotone and not bulb tone...?
This year I had great success with my amaryllis😊 I had two bulbs from last year and they are both in bloom now. In September I moved them in colder room with small amount of light, and stopped watering. Then I repotted them in middle November and was very happy when I saw bloom stocks coming out.
Hello from Croatia. Love your videos...
What a fun coffee with Laura, sneaky Russell and beautiful amaryllis! That was so fun to see the end of the process as those wax bulbs looked really interesting! When you were peeling the wax off it reminded me of peeling a purple onion lol Love your whole plan to see how you can get the bulbs to have some outdoor growing time and then be in for the beautiful showy blooms for December! Will be an interesting process to watch. :)
Awesome info as usual! I’m thinking my babies I got on clearance from gardeners supply are gonna bloom for Valentine’s Day and that’ll be a really exciting treat! They are in my brightest room right next to my first ever succulent (living stone) and my first ever houseplant (wandering jew). The day I bought the plants is the same day I unboxed my amaryllis from the mail and it was such a fun thing to care for them all!!! (These waxed bulbs were supposed to be for my mom but I couldn’t stand to give them away after seeing them so I’m considering these ones my “trials” XD and I’ll get her a bunch next year once I have a testimony!
Thanks Laura !!!
I absolutely love Amaryllis.I have about a dozen bulbs... I add more colors to my collection every year. They get bigger and better every time they bloom. I look forward to seeing all the update videos on your amaryllis.
Garden answer: I really enjoyed this presentation. Right now I’m in the beginning stages of forcing my first bulb. The bulb of choice for me is a hyacinth, and I’m about six days into Forcing them in water. Last night I noticed for the first time that there were two tiny little green spots that I think might be mould on the tiniest little rootless along the basal ring.
The whole reason for which I took it out of the water was that I noticed that The nice little roots that were growing from the ring or white, but that there was a whole lot of brown ones that seem to be coming from the center. I thought they might be dead. I still think that, because they don’t look as fleshy as the white ones.
Do you have any experience with that, or have you put on a video about forcing hyacinths in water, and possibly troubleshooting? Do you have a knack for explaining this very well, so I’m hoping to pick your brain.
Thanks for the video to show us how and what you did, and I hope to find the follow up video here somewhere to see the progression with these bulbs through the year and into the next.
Update I just had a quick look to see if I could find the link for the follow up to this video in your Information section. I didn’t see one. Would you mind putting that in there? It sure would make it easier for people who like to follow your projects through. :-)
I have had my bulbs for about 7 years now. I put each of them outside in a pot for the late spring and summer. They do wonderful and produce green leaves. I bring them in before the first frost. I have them blooming in March or April for Easter. I live in zone 7. Will have to try a wax bulb!!!❣️
Did I miss the follow up video? How did they do?
Hi Laura.... Beautiful video. Good morning everyone.
Thanks for sharing your experience with our waxed amaryllis bulbs. Great information! Best, Amanda E. for Gardener's Supply
So how did the waxed build do after you potted it?
