Excellent videos. Thank you from central Texas! Ive been growing amaryllis for 15 years. Gave one to my mom every Christmas, took them home after blooming and planted them in ground and pots. Excellent gifts, especially for elderly. Mom would call every day to relate growing progress.

Happy holidays Gary! You inspired me in your first video of the Amaryllis series, to purchase the Red Lion bulb…it’s growing well and should bloom soon. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🌸🌸🌸
Glad you did. May it be the first of many.
Awesome info 👌 👏 thanks for sharing 👍 🙏💟
Thanks for the comments and the likes. Hopefully you find my other videos as helpful. Thanks again for watching.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 most definitely I will be watching and learning thanks so much 🙏 😊
This video is very informative as I'm very new to growing Amaryllis. Your Amaryllis plants look really good, especially the Red Lion.
Thank you for your comments. And good luck with your Amaryllis adventures. You shouldn't be disappointed.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 Thank you. I bought and planted a bulb 12 days ago. I think there are 2 flower stalks emerging. Can't wait to see it blooms!
I wish someone would comment on growing outdoors here in the south.
That would be great.
I'm in SW Florida, I have 1 planted outside. I just got gorgeous orange flowers. Im here watching because i want to learn how to care for them.
I have had success with cutting flowering blooms and putting them in a vase of water. The blooms last just as long in a vase as the did on the plant but without such height.
Great tip! And a cut flower in a vase is usually more apt to sharing and moving around to be enjoyed by all!, Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing that you do not cut the stalk after the flower blooms. In Texas where should I store the bulb for dormancy?
Dormancy for amaryllis is drying out or not being watered for about 6 to 8 weeks. In Texas, if you take your amaryllis outside for the summer months, if in pots, don't water the pots, let the leave naturally turn yellow. If you have planted the bulbs in the ground, stop watering that section of your flower bed, easier said then done. Allow to dry in cool area, just don't water for those 6 to 8 weeks. If you cut the leaves off, re start watering by mid October, your bulb should be flowering by Christmas.
Loved both videos…took care of 8 amaryllis this year - bought large bulbs and e jumbo bulbs. Am trying to decide if I use a spoilt in my garden to set them n the ground (Michigan)…The plot is in the sun - I live in a enticement community so space is limited. This past year I bought just the bulbs so used potting soil in various sizes of pots. Is there a suggested width from the bulb to the edge of the pot. When they are brought inn in late Sept, is it best to put them in pots with no drainage or can I plant them either way?
Amaryllis bulbs like a tight fit, usually a gap that is no more than a inch or two is best. I prefer a pot with drainage.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Have you tried to plant amaryllis from seeds, thanks for ur great video
I have not yet. Its something i need to try.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
When do you start dormancy and when do you take them in month and out month
I usually stop watering them, to start the dormancy process, mid to late August. I then start repotting them and watering them in mid November.
Do you use the 20-20-20 blue crystals at full strength?
Great question. When I use 20-20-20 for houseplants, i use or mix a half dilution rate.
Gary, Ever let the flowers go to Seed & Successfully propagate the Seeds? Seems as if it’s a great waste to toss seeds given the potential long term return.
I have had them go to seed an have collected seed, but i have not germinated any yet.
Have you ever planned the seeds
I have not...I keep saying that I want to, but I look at the room available and knowing that it will take about 3 years, I haven't convinced myself to take the leap. One day I will....
Thank you for very useful information. My full support with like and subscribe ,
Thank you. I am glad you liked it and subscribed.
What can I do if I cut the leaves off as well afterr the bloom?
Good question. The leaves should regrow. Might not be as many, but should regrow, I would expose to the best light that you can, be careful not to overwater....and then wait.
Do you throw away the seeds ?
Great Question, and it depends on if you want to allow the seeds to develop or mature. I try and cut off the spend flower blossom before the seed pod starts to develop. This allows for all of the energy to go to the mother bulb vs trying to grow seeds.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 thank you!
