So many helpful ideas. Thank you. Always wondered about them as cut flowers vs. Keeping on plant. Last year I accidentally broke a flower off stem. I put it in a small glass of water and kept it on my bathroom counter. It stayed beautiful for days and gave me a smile every time I went into the room. Maybe i will be brave enough to cut them on purpose as vase flowers this year.

I have tried Amaryllis with mixed results in the past (usually the color I bought is not the color it turned out to be. You have given me a new appreciation for them and the confidence to try them again with this incredibly informative video. I prefer the ones that lean toward pink rather than red and love that you showed several of those. --

Thank you for sharing all of those amaryllis care tips! I always learn so much from you Danielle! I-m motivated to go out shopping today and see if I can find some unique different varieties of amaryllis bulbs. I always get the usual red -Minerva- variety, but those cream and pink varieties are stunning too. --

I've seen vases of Amarylis once before and thought it was the most lavish and decadent idea. I tried to imagine the cost of purchasing it and never thought of growing them. It's so nice that you enjoy these flowers so much that you grow them in such abundance to allow yourself bouquets of the flower. Merry Christmas!

Thanks, always good tips. I remember this summer you took the blooms off of gladiolis and put in water tubes and made arrangements that way. Would that also work with Amaryllis? I know the blooms are large but just wondered if that could be another way to display the flowers.

Just to be clear, if you cut an amaryllis flower stem ALL of the buds will develop and open, even the small immature ones as long as the outer sheath of the cluster has broken? Thanks for the info, would not have thought to cut my amaryllis, love your content.

Great tips. I would love to see a video on how you keep your pruning shears -super duper sharp. - Also how you hang the amaryllis upside down. You surely have beautiful Amaryllis flowers and vases. This is a great go to (go back to) video. Thanks for sharing.

I had no idea you could use them as cut flowers without affecting bloom time. I skipped having them this year because the varieties I have are very tall and requires so much staking. I will be growing these again next year for sure. Thanks for sharing.

This was really great, It's never crossed my mind to cut them for the vase, even when they reach for the ceiling. Did you order these or find them at a garden center? I've never seen some of the ones your growing for sale around where I live.

Danielle do you use flower food and how often should I change the water? I have several bulbs started and three almost ready to plant from last year.
Thank you for the great information and inspiration all year long.

Great job! Very informative! Last year I had a Sweet Nymth that had both flower stalks open at once and the second stalk was just a little shorter than the first stalk. Boy was it gorgeous in bloom!

The amaryllis I ordered after watching your last video arrived last week and I've planted them. It's been so exciting watching the buds grow from something that looks like an onion!

I-m in Zone 9B so mine grows outside and blooms in the summer. I-ve cut them the last two summer and both times they did not last very long. 4 days tops. I love it that they last for you.
