Thanks for your videos! Down to Earth and informative! Just here for "winter bloom prep" advice, so thanks for the chill vibe! Also... My Mama has an Amaryllis (and many off chutes from her bulbs) that are the generations of flowers/plants given to my great-grandmother as a wedding gift. She blooms every Winter... Sometimes many blossoms... Sometimes a few... But, they are a gorgeous coral/orange color & we always acknowledge Grandma visiting us and blessing us with her love and beauty... Peace. xo
I got my Amaryllis to bloom . I have 5. But for some reason each bloom only lasted for exactly 3 days. Would you know what would cause that? I got the bulbs from a reputable store.
In my zone 8b garden, I can either bring them inside to place in a fridge since we are hot in September or just wait until springtime and they will bloom outside in April and May.
Thank you Devin, for the great informative video. I got a pot of 3 last Xmas and they had 12 blooms. I clipped off the dead flowers and left it indoors in indirect light. I'm in Virginia and is cold even in spring. All of them have 2 or 3 extra long leaves about 3 to 4 ft., so long that they are flopping over. Today is Sept 4 and I'm going to repot them separately. Shall I cut off the leaves now, like you, or should I wait a bit till the roots get their nutrition from the soil? Or instead of repotting, shall I just dry them out for dormancy? Thank you. Reply
of course they're exceptions to the rule when it comes to growing species Amaryllis like the Beautiful . Papilio aka the "Butterfly Amaryllis". Papilio doesn't go completely dormant.
Thank you for the video. I subscribed for more. I have my first amaryllis. Today is June 6th. Right now I have just the leaves but I have been watering the plant when needed. When would probably be the best time for me to prepare it for dormancy and do I need to re-pot the bulb before I do.
We had one in our house for years as a house plant. It never bloomed and it belonged to someone else before we got it so we didn’t even know what it was. Planted it outside one spring on a whim and it sent out 3 huge blooms. Luckily we live somewhere just warm enough for it to survive annually
So my Amarillis was given to me xmas time. Bloomed until January. It's February and I have no idea what to do with it. I've cut out the stem and dead flowers. But I see some leaves coming up from the bulb. So what should I do? take it out and put it away for two months?
I'm confused, watched another person say that she let's the foliage stay on the bulbs until they yellow, then remove them. Does it make a difference with blooming???
Good explaining from expert of Amaryllis so I will do to store AMARYLLIS in order to take blom for Winter and Christmas season. So Thanks a lot for your video clip. Very useful for me, I got these Amaryllis from a good swedish friend last Christmas (2021) Than I took care these 2 bulbs well - finally it got flowers in July - very surprising for me ✌ Now They are outside - at the balkony. So I will take them for storing before Christmas season wil come. 🎄✨🎀 Best Wishes from STOCKHOLM - SWEDEN😇✨
So I am thinking about getting my first amaryllis. What is the deal with the wax covered and moss covered ones they sell online? Can I get one of those or do I need to buy a regular bulb? I know the wax/moss covered ones go 50% off after thanksgiving is why I am asking. thanks!
I guess I goofed. I cleaned and trimmed all the roots off. The bulbs without soil are in the closet. Too cold here in NE Alabama to plant out till next Spring.
I have a question, I bought a few Amarilis Plants and they are amazing, I live in CNJ and the winter can be brutal, how long can I store the bulb once it goes dormin, I'm planning to go away for the winter so can I keep it in a cool dark place till I return?
Could I store my pot with a cardboard box over it in a room that's not too hot as I don't have another place to store it? How many months in the dark and does it need to be completely dry from now on? What should I do to the roots that are coming through the bottom of the pot? Thx.
sometimes the problem is if they're not able to get cool enough temperatures when theyre in dormancy. some gardeners recommend that they get to 45F for the majority of the dormancy to induce new flowers after wards
So many videos suggested,if your Amaryllis leaves are green, don't cut them, let them dry natural,what way is best to get flower, cut the greens or let it dry now ?
By the time autumn arrives your plants should have had sufficient time to absorb sunlight thru the leaves and it is likely that the leaves are finishing up at that point anyways
