After having these for decades, I let one develop seeds last year. I was amazed how many sprouted but I was pretty sure the tiny sprouts wouldn't survive dormancy. I'm amazed that they ALL seemed to make it. I know it will take many years to grow to bloom size but it will be fun to watch. Got double bloom stalks this year from my biggest bulb even though I let it produce seed. I might try fertilizing a bloom again this year & see what happens. I always keep them somewhat rootbound & always in terra cotta pots to prevent rot. They live outside in N. Georgia, in their pots all summer. I buy new ones for cheap if I find them post bloom, often 50% or more off. Mine rarely bloom by Christmas but they're welcome blooms any time!

Thank you for this -lesson-. I got my first amaryllis for Christmas this year and have been wondering what to do with it. so now I know! This was the best tutorial i-ve seen- the most explanatory to the novice plant parent! One question- I live in a temperate climate and do not have a cool house zone to push my bulb into dormancy. Do you think 2 months in my refrigerator might work?

Thank you for this great information. This is my first year with this plant and I have cut it back like you suggested. However I have very tiny flies on the plant. can it be saved or is it time to quit?

Very helpful! And very timely! This was our first time growing amaryllis this past year and we-d love to get them to re-bloom again next year. We will follow all your helpful tips: -)

I put about 6 bulbs in my basement last November, and they died back. I just brought them back upstairs again and some are producing bulbs and some just leaves. Any idea why?

Can't believe I'm still managing to keep those leaves alive. They are huge! Glad to see yours were wrapped up too from flopping over. Can't wait to get it out on the back deck.

I've heard that some people will fertilize the bulbs during the summer, you didn't mention this so I wondered if it's necessary or beneficial for rebooting?

Keep mine in small pots, feed in summer, go to 5c in winter then flower every year. Original bulb has turned into 21 bulbs now.

Do you feed them? I have several, but noticed the bulbs shrink, and thought maybe I should feed them in the summer.

Can I just leave mine inside in a sunny room? I-d rather not deal with bug removal from having it outside.

I kept killing my bulbs so I gave up as it became too expensive! Maybe I'll give it another try this year.
