Good luck with your amaryllis! Every year I buy amaryllis bulbs for my wife and daughter as Christmas presents. Last year I blew it by waiting too long and I could not find any. This year I bought them early and stored them in the cellar with the seed potatoes.* The bulb has been potted for a week and just today started to show the tip of a leaf! The variety is Luna. * My eating potatoes are stored in a cool dark basement. They are starting to grow “legs” but I’m nearly finished them. It’s my biggest harvest yet but I am nowhere near self-sufficient. How do you store potatoes?
I store my potatoes in my basement (in the dark) around 18C until the weather cools down. Then I put them in my heated garage (10-15C) in the dark. I try to delay my big harvest until it is cooler outside so they can go straight to the garage because they store better there.
Great idea.
Thanks!
Happy 2026, beautiful Prairie Plantgirl!
Another great tutorial!👍
I'm looking forward to seeing what you will be sowing and transplanting this year. 💕
I am very excited for the new gardening season ahead of us. I’ll be sharing a lot more regularly as I start preparing and planting this month.
Good luck with your amaryllis!
