Keeping Poinsettias Alive after the Holidays
I have found amaryllis are throw away bulbs. I’ve done everything that has to be done to try to get them to rebloom and it never happens. All we get is foliage. So I’m done with amaryllis. In the compost bin they go.
I'm in central No. Carolina. Dips to 19 deg F. here overnight for at least 2 full weeks each winter. I leave mine out. Do nothing. they return every year. every 3 years I remove 1/2 to thin
Thank you for your information on Amaryllis 😊
You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
Greetings from zone 4/5 eastern Canada! I've tried several methods, though the method I use now is hilling with dry soil, mounding with leaves and cover with styrofoam cones which have ventilating holes. I prune the roses down to fit the height of the cones and defoliate the rest of the leaves. The cones last a long time so I'm able to use them years at a time. Sometimes pots do the trick as well. With certain varieties, the winter temperatures alone are enough to kill canes almost to ground level regardless of how much winter protection used. I prefer styrofoam cones because my area gets an average of 60 hours of freezing rain on top of -32 Celsius throughout the winter, which is very hard on tender roses. This also melts the snow and causes the ground to freeze like an ice cube (posing threat to bud unions) and the entire landscape becomes a skating rink. So styrofoam cones are handy at keeping off freezing rain in the dead of winter. Grafted tender roses are kept at a minimum in my garden, where most of my roses are cane/tip hardy cultivars on their natural roots that require no winter protection and can stand up to freezing rain followed by very cold temperatures. It's not uncommon to get 1/2" thick of ice buid up on trees, plants, roses and our vehicles in these cold, humid parts of Ontario. With the detriment of freezing rain, our zone 4/5 winters might as well be reduced to a zone 3.
Thank you for your comments. So helpful in sharing your method and why. There are always so many different situations and growing conditions, sometimes even in the same yard or area. Sometimes different methods have to be used. Again Thank you! And good luck!
how do you tell when to stop watering/fertilizing and force them into dormancy?
Good question. They only need about 8 to 10 weeks of dry dormancy. So after they have bloomed, (late December to February maybe March) I water and fertilize ( fertilize once a month) them throughout the summer months. I stop watering them in late August allowing them to dry through Sept, Oct and early part of November. I then clean them up, repot if necessary and start watering and introducing to bright light mid-November.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 so they are in full growth mode when you stop watering?
Hi! I bought amaryllis bulb online. I did not know I am supposed to soak them before planting. My problem is it has been 2 months now and there are only leaves, no flower. What should I do? Thank you.
Pre watering isn't always necessary. I find it more reassuring, as like I am doing all of the right steps in the process. Now as for not budding or leafing out. Make sure that the soil is moist, not swampy wet, but moist. And make sure that it has the best light possible and in a warm area. All of my bulbs don't bloom or leaf out at the same time. There has been times that they have gone a couple of months before starting. Just make sure that your bulb remains firm to the touch. Good luck!
This is so helpful for beginners like me who want to grow the best bell peppers at home
Glad that it helped. Good luck in your choices and growing experience. Thanks for watching.
Hi Gary! Thank you so much for your instructional and helpful video. This is my first year growing roses. I have 3 hybrid tea roses that bloomed beautifully and I wanted instructions on how to winterize hybrid tea roses, specifically. I’m in zone 6/6a. I thought I messed up by not pruning back my roses earlier…Dec. 1 tomorrow, but I now know I can cut them back in order to cover them today. I also like your covering options. I should be able to find options from my garage without having to buy rose collars. Thank you for helping me become a rosarian!
Glad you found this video helpful. And yes there are several options out there that will accomplish the same thing. Good luck!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
Greetings from the other side of the Pond, Gary, glad to see a new amaryllis/hippeastrum video......glad to see you haven't recovered from your habit. While it's great to see amaryllis blooming, I do feel sorry for the poor bulbs, with that wire thing poked into the base and starved of water. I know that they don't need any more nutrients to bloom, but goodness, it can't be good for the bulb to have hot wax pour all over it - think of sado-masochistic rituals or the waxing scene in "The 40 Year Old Virgin".....oh well
Yes, the imagery can be vivid. Thanks for the laugh. And sadly, I haven't had any success in staying away from new varietys. Catalogs can be very dangerous.

What is that tall white Boulder in the background..
I am not quite sure about "boulder". I have 2 different white flowers, one is a phaleonopsis orchid with the purple spots, and then on right side of the screen is a double White Amaryllis flower.
Thanks for sharing watching from far north east india i have few collection lets keep it growing
Thanks for watching...even from so far away!
I wish you would start with your zone. I have been growing in containers (30-40), and being in zone 9a with 90 to 100 degrees every day, will drive everything you do to make them successful. In these conditions Bells are susceptible to BER, so they need shade, lots of bone meal, more coco choir to retain water and buckets with dranage holes 3 inches high to leave a water reservoir at the bottom of the container. Small sweet peppers like the sugar cane red and Leysa, do better than the larger ones. My Cayenne hybrids and jalapeños are in full sun. Those containers need mulch. Some like the Sugar Rush and Ajis (mango, pinapple, lemon drop) do well in partial shade and are less susceptible to BER.
followed your yt posts great info, great insights, thanks :) ? do you have favorite source/s for high quality jumbo bulbs? thanks man
In the notes I have links to some of the bulb companies that I have ordered from. I have had great success from Brent and Beckys and then from my local garden center. Brecks can ship late, but I was pleased with the quality of the bulbs that I received. Whitehill has good bulbs. But I have found part of the "success" key is to order early. Thanks for watching hope it has helped.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 i see now lol much thanks
Put mine in pots and I brought them indoors. They’re only about 2 feet high. I would imagine they should do OK
Sounds like a great way to keep them over the winter. Thanks for sharing.
I got two “teacher” amaryllis last year… they have been in leaf mode for almost a year, it’s late October, should I cut the leaves and make them dormant?
Wow. At this point you don't have anything to lose. Cut the leaves, don't water for a couple of months. Pull them out again, and start watering them late Dec to mid Jan. Give them lots of light and see what happens. So weird that they didn't bloom. Good Luck.
Thank you for this treat to beauty of the amaryllis
It's my pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Gary, learned a lot!
Glad to help. Thanks for watching.

Should I mist/dampen canna bulbs during their hibernation? Thank you for the info!
For storing Canna bulbs/roots/corms it is not necessary to mist them. Cool and dry is the way to go.
Is it necessary to mist/dampen the bulbs during the course of their hibernation? Thanks!
No for Elephant Ear bulbs, it is not necessary.
I live in northern South Dakota. This is my first year of having rose 🌹 bushes. I have 3 of them. Thank you so much for your help in winterizing my roses for the first time! 🤞🏼
You are so welcome! And I am glad you found it helpful! Good Luck.
Thank you for the detailed explanations. It's very helpful.
You are welcome! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
What about the pepperoncini ? Can we have a full video about it from A to Z (growing, pickling,…….) please
Thanks for the suggestion. I will have to keep that in mind. I will have to dust off my canning skills or just ask my wife to help.
Wow awesome information! I have a Japanese Maple tree about 25 ft tall and I noticed on the leaves a bunch of white stuff. I can't reach them so I'm assuming its fungus. What are your recommendations?
I would first try to get a confirmation of the problem. Japanese Maples can be a bit particular about some of the chemical remedies that might be sprayed on them. Check with you local garden center first.
Question. I live in New Jersey, and my plant is still looking great. At what temperature should I cut her leaves and bring the bulb inside? Thanks!
I wait for a freeze to happen, so 32F, which burns the leaves down, but does not freeze the root. So watch your weather and enjoy them as long as the weather holds out. Good Luck!
What is your feeding routine
Great question, because fertilizing and water is very important. With all of my tomatoes, I will use a does of magnesium sulphate, when I plant and then maybe once a month through out the growing season. I apply a slow release, such as Osmocote once a month (depends on if it is a 30, 45, or 90 day slow release), usually a week or so after planting. I then follow up once a week with a water soluable fertilize (blue powder such as Miracle Grow, but I don't like MG). You might ask why so much fertilizer, I grow in raised beds and fertilizers will leach out fast in raised beds. So I have to use extra fertilizer.
Great information and easy. I have had a large Alocasia for 4 years now and would always carry in the whole thing. Your way is a lot easier to do. Thank you !
Glad it was helpful!
Kalugeritsa (from Baker Creek seeds) is my favorite semi hot pepper. Hottest are a little less than Jalapeno. Some not very hot at all. Just right when hot in my opinion. Very prolific. Just filled up a half gallon jar from one plant and pickled them.
Oh wow! And Baker Creek has so many to choose from too!
Why didn't you drill holes in the base of the pot?
If it rains on the dry leaves inside the chicken wire...do you then need to remove the wet leaves? and then remove them every time they get rained on, or do you just mix in some dried leaves on top of the leaves that got wet? Thanks 🙂
No need to replace the leaves. Can I ask which Zone are you in? If you are in a warmer zone than Zone 6, you shouldn't need to be protecting your roses with too many leaves. Good luck! and thanks for watching.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 Hi there, thanks so much for your reply. I live in zone 9.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 Thanks so much 🙂
I don’t think it’s good to use plastic bottles,, I don’t think plants like it to have roots in plastic🤷♀️
What month to bring in pots in zone 8
I would think that in Zone 8 most potted roses would be fine to leave outside. However, if you are concerned for your potted roses, I would think you would want to bring them in Dec, Jan, and into Feb.
Should I add mulch or manure to the base after I clean out the leaves?
Yes that would be fine to do. You could also do a slow release organic fertilizer.
Can u use soda tin cans instead of plastic bottles!
Yes you can, no pun intended. Crushed or whole.
Do you do the same with Alocasia's?
Yes, if you are digging and storing them.
Why don't you remove the babies first? 😳😳😳
Great video
Thanks for watching!
Hi Gary, am guessing this idea of part filling in containers to use less compost is restricted to smaller plants and NOT for plants like clematis etc? Ideas please. TIA
Great question, and yes sizing of both plants and containers are something to think about. Larger shrubs, vines, etc need plenty of soil to keep them healthy and rooted. Where as large containers can hold lots of smaller plants, but really don't need root capacity of 2 feet deep of soil. I sell some very large pots at my greenhouse for customers to plant in. One particular size is 4 feet across and about 3 feet deep. One customer bought the pot just for her herbs. It was the "perfect height". But herbs really don't need 3 feet of soil to grow in, so she and her husband filled the pot almost 2/3 full with "filler" to take up the space. Now were she to plant small shrubs, bush or vines in it I would suggest using full compsted soil in the whole pot.
Hi Gary, just came across this video. Verrry informative never thoight of using plastic to make up for compost! Thanks for the idea.
Glad it was helpful!
I left my plant in the kitchen to throw out and forgot about it. When I noticed it growing. Now l have a plant about l foot high full of braces real healthy but no sign of flowers. As l have no knowledge of the plants l have no idea what to do next. Please help.
Keep giving it bright lights. Natural light is fine. Since it is in the kitchen or high traffic area, with lights on and off in the evening hours, the light cycle will keep getting interrupted. So the bracts might not turn red as fast or soon as if it had a block of 12 uniterupted dark hours. I personall like the leaves and the way a poinsettia normally grows so I am always happy to have a green plant growing and when the red bracts/or leaves turn without any help, is always a bonus. Good luck.
Zone 6b Ontario. 9 roses . I just planted a rose garden and this is so helpful. thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Don't those paper go moldy like black mold?
Great question. The paper will break down, but it is not the "black" mold that is toxic. Its a good mold, benificial to soils.
Are you growing these varieties from seed.Have never seen any of these varieties in the Midwest where I live.
If I haven't grown them from seed, I have gotten them from my local greenhouse.
