I had similar experience last year with my Amaryllis. I had planted 3 of my bulbs in the garden. Early in the summer, it seemed they were happy with large strappy leaves. But, later in the fall it developed similar red blotch. It may have something to do with over-irrigation due to fall grass seeding of my yard. I cut off the infected leaves and peeled as many infected layers of the onion like layers. Then I dusted them with Bonide Sulphur and stowed away for a couple of months. Finally, I was able to salvage 2 of the bulbs but the third went mush. The two that I salvaged bloomed during the holidays early next year.

Hello, beautiful flower girl! I have learned so much from you! Love learning about cut flowers along with gardening with plants! We even used your idea for a bucket with pumpkins spilling out, in our front corner flower bed! Where do you find your amaryllis bulbs at that price? I am new to amaryllis and paperwhites and haven't been able to decide where to go, because prices are so high. Thank you so much for sharing! Can't wait to see these in bloom in your nostalgic family dishes.

The smile you gave your freshly planted paperwhites (which, unfortunately are not so popular in Germany) made my day! Your really love what you do. After experiencing snails, slugs and other kritters munching on my Amaryllis bulbs outside, I -oversummer- Amaryllis in my garage. I must admit, outside they get bigger over time, but it is not worth it to give them the space IMO. The Pot with the 3 Amaryllis inside looks gorgeous.
Happy gardening!

I have started paperwhites for years and years and always waited until they get tall and then use chop sticks stuck into gravel and then tie jute or decorative string. But sometimes the sticks tip over. So your idea of using the frogs in the container is a fabulous and innovative idea. Thank you for sharing. Paula Carli-Windmill Flower Farm

When i had Amaryllis in pots in California, I did just treat them as houseplants, and would place outside in the summer, in a protected spot. They rebloomed with very little care.
Watching all this now, as we live in Illinois, and growing Amaryllis and paperwhites seems more challenging.

I put my paper whites in shallow water on rocks. The greens grew about a foot But never bloomed. Even the ones I planted in dirt outside in a pot didn't bloom. I don't know what I did wrong. Blessings.

Put the amaryllis bulb in a pot close to the house under the eaves so it won-t get too wet from the rain. Thanks so much for your videos. I love them -

I dug up my Amaryllis bulb and it is in the basement. How long do I need to wait before I bring it upstairs and start watering again for reblooming?

Thank you for being so informative! I bought paper whites, but haven-t planted them yet bc I wasn-t exactly sure how to go about it.

I-m in zone 8 Deep South. Can the bulbs live in the ground with summer temperatures of 95 plus in the summer?
