Separating Baby Amaryllis Bulb
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- In This video I separate a baby Amaryllis bulbs from the mother plant in order to create a new plant and allow the original bulb to have enough space to grow.
I repot the new young plant into free draining compost to allow it to have enough space to grow its bulb over the summer in the hope it will flower next year or the year after.
I also raise the height of the original bulb to give it more space to grow in its small pot.
Thanks for watching

I'm no expert but I have found that separating tangled roots is easier when you hit the soil and root ball with a strong stream of water from a garden hose. I have done this to several varieties of plants with excellent results and haven't noticed any transplant shock afterward.
Gardening at 58 north... Please make sure to do a video on how this baby is doing once it begins to grow again
I will do, its currently only got one leaf, but has put a lot of root growth on. I'm expecting it to grow new leaves come spring. At the moment it is dying back to the bulb ready for its dormant period.
Thank you so much for these very clear directions!
Thank You for this educational video My mother gave me a big pot with four giant bulbs I've been having them for a bout a year now and have separated all bulbs in two pots with two bulbs in each pot and one mother bulb in each pot have given birth so this video is very helpful Thank You again.
That bulb is huge!! It's going to survive!! Looks like a 2 year old!!
i soak my plant roots in a bucket of warm water then seperate them in the water. works like a dream
Nice job I like the crack sound it sounds weird
You need to use a tote bin to loosen the dirt and try hitting the root against the palm of your hand to remove the loose dirt. You'll get there faster..I swear by it.. It won't hurt the plant.
One thing I can't understand is why everyone is planting them in such small pots.
Ikr, mine is in a 15" pot and I take it out in the summer in a semi shaded location and now it's leaves are at least 2 feet in length. it's become a giant and has 2 baby bulbs I need to separate soon.
Because if we plant it in a big container the plants focus on grow roots and all the energy goes to the roots. They like to stay tight. Few together or alone but in small containers. One inch around the bulb
hey how did the baby do? havent seen any updates since you did this video in may! did it survive?
also do you keep your amaryllis bulbs outside all summer to "store energy" for future flowering? i heard some people keep there amaryllis inside all year every year there plants never see the outside and there plants still flower! they just keep them as evergreens indoors and only in fall for a bit they keep them a tad drier but not nough to kill leaves.
Yes its survived and grown many more roots. Its only got one leaf now as its dying back for winter, but I think the bulb has maybe doubled in size, although its hard to tell as its underground. I keep all my Amaryllis inside all year as I don't have enough space on my balcony for them, and so far they have flowered every year. I keep them on a sunny windowsill, usually south facing in the cooler months and then east facing in summer. I find that mine loose all their leaves each autumn, but its very dark here in Edinburgh over winter and pretty cold in my flat.
Nice that gives me- an apartment gardener hope with amaryllis. Its dark here in canada this time of yr too. Cloudy every day. But in spring summer n early fall we get loads of sun. My big window faces SOUTHEAST. so sun from sunrise to noon. Do u think thats enough direct sun to keep them indoors? and have them flower yr to yr?
Yes that should be sunny enough for them to flower each year. My sunniest window faces South East and my plants flower every year. So yours should be able to also get enough light to flower.
I live in Toronto and my apartment window is facing north, but my amaryllis flowered very well in winter time.
So wait is winter the best time to do this normally? I think I can let mine grow together for one more year, because the pot is fairly large, but just wondering if i should do it in the spring or wait till winter?
I don't think it matters if you keep it inside, though it's always better to do this when the plant is in a dormant stage (so winter, but it can also be a dark, colder room inside)
Thank you for this video and I did what you said about the dead heads on the senetti. They are outside now, I am so glad I found your channel. I have a question. I am growing sunflowers they are only 3 weeks old but they are to heavy and the stalk won't support the weight. I have tied them up to sticks if that's right? Thanks for all the effort you put in to your videos. I appreciate you :)
+Mosh The Monster I'm glad your enjoying my channel. Yes that's the right thing to do, sunflowers can have problems sometimes with weak stems, especially the tallest varieties. To help it grow stronger stems make sure you keep it well fed and with as much sun as possible, also shaking the stems gently will help strengthen them. The wind does this normally, but if your growing them inside shaking them twice a day will help. Also when you put them in a bigger pot make sure you bury the stem up to the lowest leaves. This will make them more stable and also they will grow extra roots out of the buried stem which will cause the stem to thicken.
Awesome: thank you so so much :)
no no its okay even if it has no roots 😂😂😂 once i separated the babies, some of em have no roots, they still could survive and have roots and grow, so its okay even though they have no roots at the beginning 😂😂 even chopped the leaves and they still alive hahaha 😂😂😂
looks to need a bigger pot.
When do they produce bulblets
Usually after a couple of years, it depends on the size of the bulb and the variety. Once the bulb is full size it will normally start produce a new bulb every year or two.
Dear amaryllis can survive without sunlight
