Amaryllis Update + Care Tips Garden Answer Helluminati: I am so bad with plants, I even killed a cactus. But I want to know more and learn and have greens in my house. The only plant that still is living is a plant someone had thrown in dumpster and I felt sorry for it. I had to keep it at work til weather was warm enough to move it home and during that time it bloomed these huge white blossoms, almost like Easter Lily. After I took it home, I planted it over in to larger pot and it gave off another smaller shoot on the side. It was all green and ok, grew long leaves, did't bloom anymore though and when autumn came it just died off. But it has green bulb, that is firm and alive. I hope it will become alive again when spring comes. I still don't know what plant it is. but searching for pictures I have to say it looks like Amaryllis. How long do they live?

Hi I have a question. I have about 5 Amaryllis plants. One just finished blooming n I'm just waiting for the leaves to turn yellow to cut them off n let the plant rest. Two others starting growing leaves back in the early fall but no flower. The leaves have died n nothing else happened since. Should I stop watering them n let them rest? Or keep watering n wait for a flower to come up? Also my two others should I start watering them to wake them back up or wait for leaves to come up on their own?

Is there any way to get one to bloom? I have a bulb, can't remember the color, a little bit bigger than the size of the white bulbs that I got from my aunt last Christmas. It bloomed once and hasn't since. It's shot up nice foliage twice, once after it bloomed and right now after a short period of dormancy. I honestly don't know if it'll bloom again. I know it's healthy because the 4 foliage leaves are growing like crazy.

Aww, this brought back a lot of happy memories. My grandfather always used to have several of these crowded in his only sunny window around the holidays, and he always got the loveliest blooms out of them. I just realized that he must have really liked that large starburst shape of bloom because during the rest of the year he prized his many Clematis and Day Lilies.

Your Amaryllis are looking great!
I have several I started, thanks for the reminder! My newest has just set it's bud, still waiting for the older ones I've had for 2 years now haven't been disappointed yet. Might see them in January (keeping my fingers crossed )
I even have some baby bulbs that I repotted, will keep them going just for the foliage! Love your videos!

Thanks for your informative videos! I have a white Amaryllis, a few years, bloomed that Christmas season, but has bloomed in July the last 2 years, it is beautiful, had two flowers on it, I call it Christmas in July! So I just enjoy it in the summer, not sure why it does this. any ideas? But I guess it flowers which is an ultimate goal, I have it in my sunroom.

I have had my amaryllis plant for 8 years, and it has never rebloomed. It only gets leaves. I have let it go dormant like it's supposed to & fertilized. I am trying to put it outside this spring & summer to see if that work. Any other suggestions? The original bloom was beautiful. I want more of them! Thanks

I've just had a large double white nymph open this morning! Waiting on my red velvet, joker, and Alaska to bloom next. Also, the amaryllis from Trader Joes have been spectacular this year too just in case no one has potted their own. My store still has them. They are the biggest red lions I've ever seen.

I would call twine an eyesore not decorative lol. I think it makes it look really ratty and ruins the centerpiece. A green twist tie or single string of green yarn tied right under the bloom head would be more discrete. Do you want flowers on display or some twine lol.
