Amaryllis Babies 

Wow, Momma must have been very happy to have had so many babies!!

Thanks for making this video. I have 2 pots of Amaryllis that I overwinter in the garage. One is a single bulb that has been in the pot for over 2 years and has never multiplied. The other is a very large pot that started out 13-14 years ago with 3 bulbs and is now full. They still bloom well but I really need to tackle separating them this year.

Im just getting into amaryllis. Thank you for all your information! I love when mama plants put off babies!

You are always teaching us something. Thanks, Ray.

enjoyed the video and loved the music! would love to see a follow up on how the amaryllis babies did.

This is an interesting experiment, Ray. Glad you have nothing to lose. Hope all goes well.

Cool.

Awesome

Thank you for motivating me to repot mine... I just got it a month ago so it is a terrible idea, but once I saw how many babies yours had in just 3 years, I'm like Omg I need a bigger pot 😅🤣

I bet they will make it, get back to us later with an update.

Your Amaryllis are incredibly beautiful!

How is your mama bulb doing? She really multiplied! 😊

Hi, Thank you for your video. I’ve always read that potted amaryllis should be planted with no more than an inch of space between the bulb and the edge of the pot. I noticed your mama is in a wide pot (wide opening). 1)Why have you chosen to use a more spacious pot for mama? Is it allow room for future babies or is that something you’ve always done with all of your amaryllis? I’m very excited to have two robust amaryllis mamas with multiple babies but the babies are still quite small. My mamas were potted up last spring in the traditional manner-one inch space all around. I’ve read that you should wait until the babies are 1/3 the size of the mama before removing them. If that’s the case, mine would outgrow the current pot before they reach that size. 2) Should I repot mamas and babies together into a larger pot this coming fall? Or just wait until they’re crowded in the current pot? NE Ohio zone 6a, heated greenhouse under LED grow lights. Vigorous/healthy growth. Thank you! Janis

I have one 20 inch pot of amaryllis in my garden (zone 10b) and now I have many babies in the pot, some are just barely in the soil. I think I have to take them out and replant them. But some of them having their flower stocks right now. Do you think I should wait until the are done blooming?

Do you keep them outside ? I’m in zone 9 mine are in a pot and looking somewhat like that , and if you do , don’t they need some darkness to bloom again

I was wondering how to take off the babies! Mine are in the ground. Any suggestions on how to take out the babies in the fall?

Please get to the topic more quickly.

To transplant, it would have been easier to turn the pot over and tap it out, no need to use a shovel
