In today's video we're unboxing some huge amaryllis bulbs from ColorBlends as well as showing how to plant them up and care for them over the next few weeks. I think most people plant their bulbs in late October or early November so they'll have blooms around Christmas but I'm completely happy to be late and see blooms after Christmas. It's a fun thing to have in the house before, during, or after the Holidays!
Oh how beautiful those will be in their containers! Just wanted to add a helpful "staking" hint, hopefully. I use "porcelain doll stands", by sliding the foot plate under the pot from the back. Most of them are "height adjustable", so they can "grow" with the blooms. Hope this helps someone. Great vlog. See you tomorrow and God bless.
Hey, that's smart. Found one online: factorydirectcraft.com/catalog/products/1302_790_776-3940-adjustable_white_doll_stand.html?ccset=US&autocs=1&auto_coupon=FALLSOHARD&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6a_JgtbV5QIVQ18NCh0zSwD_EAQYAyABEgIsM_D_BwE#
great idea! The base on those doll stands and the loop should be perfect. I have used the metal with loop flower stakes before but they often fall over too. Now I wish I had not donated the doll stands I had!
@@Bamboo4U2 Thank you. They have worked out great for me, but I will admit the idea began with me using about 4 of them with a "wild and unruly" cactus I had yrs ago. Some of them I had to remove their base and stick inside the pot. Great find.
Thanks again and God bless.
@@kyrad6543 Thank you and yes they surely do. Ahh no! Sorry to hear that. I have been lucky a time or two and found a few small ones at the dollar stores. And I always try to keep an eye open at the flea market and yard sales too. Thanks again and God bless.
Hello Laura ❤️ I live in Northern Germany. We just moved to a traditional German studwork house with a huge garden and woodlands. As soon as we moved in, your channel magically appeared on my laptop ❤️. I feel like a garden fairy sent you to help us to make brave changes in our garden. I love watching you. You give me hope, because to plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow ❤️ Lots of love ❤️
Greetings from Mannheim 🤗 I love this channel also and have learned a lot from it. Also newbie at gardening 🤗when I watch Laura while traveling to work, I always hope someone will come to me and say I love her channel to! 😄
Good luck with your garden! 🤗❤
What a beautiful comment.
i know Im randomly asking but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost the account password. I love any assistance you can offer me!
@Rory Kamryn Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Look at you! Buying red flowers to put in your garden/house! They’re all so beautiful.
I love the lack of music in this video, it’s restful for my ears 💜 oh and the Amaryllis are beautiful I guess 🤷🏻♀️😂
I agree with "no music" ever :) .. Natural sounds of the environment is so relaxing ..(like the crackling noise of the bulbs in this video, loved it).
Ann I agree completely. Some videos have been completely ruined by the music, this is another reason why I like Laura’s and Aaron’s recordings/Vlogs.
I taught preschool for many years. I loved planting amaryllis in the classroom. The children always enjoyed watching them grow. These bulbs were one of my favorite teacher gifts to receive too!
Oh fun, what a great idea! If I had been a student of yours, I would have loved that! I was born with gardening gloves on, haha
Ooooo, I didn't know that about the size of the bulb, thank you Laura for telling us. It just never occurred to me but, it definitely makes sense.
In the spring I plant all of mine in a devoted amaryllis bed on the south side of my house. They get almost full sun and have survived extreme heat/drought this year and 2 years of severe ice/snow storms here in 7A. Love adding to my holiday collection every year and seeing them again in late spring.
I live in zone 9. My amaryllis are planted in my landscape. Some of them bloom twice a year. I really love the different varieties they have. Looking forward for some new ones this year.
curious what zone do you live in? I am in zone 7b
@@alittlebitofdirt I live in 9b. Down on the Gulf of Mexico. Little town where the Hurricane Harvey made landfall in a couple of years back.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🙏 DONT FORGET TO GIVE US UPDATES ON THE GROWTH OF THESE!!!!! PLEASE 🙏😁
I think they forgot 😂
Just came back from buying an amaryllis at Lowe's. I live in 9B zone, so I am going to research on how I can plant these outside - moving here from North East, it never occurred to me until Laura mentioned in this video that in upper zones they can be planted outside. Will be getting some more as soon as I have time to get to a nursery. Thanks Laura!
So excited that you mentioned the circumference in cms!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The amount of times I have to go to my converter for measurements and temperature while watching your videos 😂
You forgot to put the link you talked about at 13:10, on how to keep as houseplants.
Try this one: th-cam.com/video/WDkpvTBoT_A/w-d-xo.html
@@Bamboo4U2 Thanks!
I have a Dancing Queen that’s been blooming for me for 12 years! It’s a STUNNING Amaryllis. 💖
12 years??? That's amazing!
It was in a raffle basket that I won. I let it go dormant every Fall and then bring it out in late Winter and enjoy the gorgeous flowers. I keep it outside in a pot all summer. It actually split into 2 bulbs now so I’m planning on separating them.
@@jillkilhefner119 love that! I never thought about keeping them outdoors during summer....hmmm, might have to do that
Try it! I repot it every few years with fresh potting soil & I add bulb fertilizer.
Hi Laura, Since my Amaryllis has finished blooming, I was scrolling down through your videos to find the one that tells how to care for the bulb after it’s done blooming and I came across the video where you planted a variety of amaryllis and said you’d provide updates, only I cannot find an update to Amaryllis Unboxing & Planting showing those varieties in bloom. Don’t know how I missed it, since I try to watch all of your videos!! Thank you for making such terrific videos. I enjoy that you cover such a wonderful variety of topics, so each day is different and educational and always fun!! Wherever you wind up taking us: to your flower garden, vegetable garden, chicken house, barn, sun room, kitchen, Garden Center, church, parents place...it’s all good!!! Thank you! 🤗
For some reason, there was something extremely satisfying about just the sound of you handling those bulbs while planting the rest of the containers - almost like one of those ASMR videos with the rustling sounds. I appreciate when a video just focuses on what is happening instead of adding a bunch of music or something like that every time :)
I live in zone 8 and my mom has an entire flower bed of amaryllis and we are able to leave them out in the flower bed. I love these flowers!!
I’m also in zone 8 and never dig ours up unless we’re sharing them with friends 😊
@@drewsneen I also live in a zone 8 and will definitely try planting them out next year. Do you have them growing outside in pots or directly in the ground? And are they also planted equally shallow as Laura showed in the video?
Inese Duka All of mine are planted directly in the ground and are planted fairly deep. All come back and multiply every year. This video did have me questioning if mine may be planted too deep though.
I just ordered my Amaryllis bulbs yesterday! No lie! Perfect timing!
I sent several as “kits” to far away relatives as Christmas gifts. I agree that even if they don’t bloom in time for the holidays they will enjoy some beautiful life in the dreary days of January.
I splurged and bought myself some bigger bulbs to enjoy.
Thanks for all you do and share Laura and Aaron! 🌺
I have an amaryllis planter I've had for about 7-8 years with 3 huge bulbs in it, planted in rock. I put it in the garage around the end of summer to get the leaves to die back, and bring it back out about 6-8 weeks later. During the year I give it liquid Espoma fertilizer for indoor plants & it always gives me huge red blooms and beautiful leaves. Some years I get a couple stalks from one bulb, others all 3 three bloom. Just got a pink & white one in a kit last year as a gift, it's in soil, so we will see how it comes back.
I love, love them!!! My grandmother had the most beautiful ones I have ever seen. She would order her bulbs not online because we didn’t have the internet then but through the mail. My favorite flower!!!
As a 2nd grade teacher, an amaryllis bulb was a fantastic classroom gift. I put a homemade yardstick (marked off inches and colored in every other inch for easy measuring) in the pot next to the amaryllis and made a bar graph to record growth. The students would race to look at the plant each morning to see how much the plant grew. Then they would look again just before they left at the end of the school day. It was so fun to see that it often grew as much as an inch just during the day. The students and I were constantly amazed. Other staff members often came to visit and enjoy the miracle of Mother Nature. I looked forward to doing this activity every fall (or sometimes early spring), depending on when we worked on our measurement math unit.
I just planted my first one. I purchased it for my birthday. It is a jumbo cherry blossom. I’m very excited to have indoor flowers.
Speaking of inspiring me...well this summer was first time in many years i grew flowers on balcony. This year is first time in many many years i have house plants AND this is the first time EVER i have an amaryllis. PTSD changed me. I am a mere shell of who i was. But i am finding a little bit of joy and peace through plants/flowers and that has happened because of your channel. You are like fairy from the fairy garden flying around and sprinkling your magic dust everywhere to bring joy and spread information and encouragement. I thank you Laura, Aaron, Benjamin, for allowing us into your life/home. You are good people and i know that God is smiling down on the work you are doing. Stay safe Stay happy Stay healthy
We have one every year in a box already planted, and they’re so hardy! Love my winter plants ❤️
ok, project #1,488,985! i was just looking at some galvanized pots at Joann's yesterday and telling my 3 year old granddaughter i really need some of those!! and now i know why!!!! i love to keep them indoors for the holidays and i agree, seeing them in january helps lessen the shock of no more decorations out, haha... these bulbs are FABULOUS!! oh my gosh. .back to colorblends i go! i cannot wait to see your "amaryllis on parade" in a few weeks!!! it will be spectacular!!!
I planted a Dancing Queen amaryllis last year and it was gorgeous. Two flower stalks and each stalk had 3 or 4 huge flowers. Be patient with them. They sit there quietly for a few weeks before you see anything happening. I got that bulb as a return to the garden centre. The customer said she had it for 2 weeks and nothing happened.
I bought 5 Amaryllis about 10 years ago and planted them in my garden. I live in Windermere, Florida, zone 9. Ours bloom April through May and have multiplied. I have about 20+ now. Gorgeous plant!
I love the idea of growing bulbs in a bulb jar. I want to do this project with my grandson. He has the gardening bug like his grandma. We both love getting our hands in the dirt. Thanks for the idea.
Thanks Laura! I have never tried Amaryllis before. I'm going to give them a try!! 😁
You will love them! I cant stop buying them, and they bring such beauty during the dreary winter months!
I gave Amyrillis bulbs last Christmas and this is that kind of special plant that when it flowers you get a phone call to say so and also photos posted on Facebook :)
You did inspire me to want to plant amaryllis! I never thought I would ever want to bother. Thank you! ❤️
I look forward to the updates. I feel like a nosy neighbor when I bug you for updates but I feel so vested in your projects. Now I am being creepy in addition to nosy, aren’t I!? 😂
Loved the planting ASMR.
These Amaryllis are just incredibly Gorgeous and I wished that I had some!❤️🙌
We plant our amaryllis in the garden after they finish blooming. They bloom beautifully again the following spring and year after year. We live in zone 8-9.
Here in Texas gulf coast area we can plant them in the garden they come back every year with pups I think thats what they are called "baby bulbs , but must watch for hard freeze warning, cover with cloth and pots on top, and squirrels will eat them if they can't find anything to eat during winter and early spring and just replanted my mom's in raised beds and in containers with bricks underneath to elevate them from floods we get now and then.
I live in zone 7b and have one planted outside that does great every year! I had no idea that they were normally used as a houseplant 😬
I'm like a little kid checking my Amaryllis every day, they really are so much fun to grow. It never ceases to amaze me how fast they grow once they get going.
Just got me two bulbs of amaryllis. Thanks for sharing. Learned not to bury the bulb too much into the soil.
I’m so excited 😆 mine are starting to blooming when I saw the video now I wants more !! but my cat 🐈 lulu is very curious how you control you cats 🐈 thank you love from New Jersey
I plant mine in the garden when they are done inside and they give me the most beautiful bloom year after year. Never throw them away. I am in zone 8b and they keep really well on the ground even with snow and frost. I have so many different colors except doubles.
I’ve been waiting for this! You have inspired me to try amaryllis. I made 9 amaryllis pots for party favors for my moms 83rd birthday party. Thanks for sharing your passion for gardening.
I love Amarillo’s. I grow them in the house for the first time. Then I move them outside in spring. Have had good luck with that. I live in zone 7. They bloom in the spring after that first show. I have been doing this for years. I do bury them in the ground so that just the very top is above the ground. In fact if I move I dig them up and take them with me. I have done this about eight times.LOL. Have plants will travel.LOL
Can’t wait to see them bloom :) My Colorblends bulb order of 800 bulbs come in tomorrow, I am beyond ecstatic!! Wish you could be here to share my excitement, your videos are the highlight of my day, Thank You so much for being such a huge inspiration to me and for being a blessing in my love of gardening❤️🌷🌻
Amaryllis is my favourite flower. Really suitable for lazy gardener like me that sometimes 'forget' to water them......(ha....) I live in tropic, so they grow all year long and they will multiply in no time. Better in half shade because the heat here (32-37°C in daytime)
And zone 8! Eastern NC if you plant them a few inches in the ground, they come back every year. My friends never believe me untill I show them my red amayrils in my garden. They bloom late summer here.
They are easy to rebloom if you give them really bright light and summer them outside.
As we watch the videos she listens and will give updates! Thanks Laura!
Thank you for what you do and for inspiring me to plant bulbs and amaryllis. I'm looking forward to my winter and spring blooms.
I'm definitely going to try planting my own this year! Last year, I bought a container with 3 bulbs from Costco and they bloomed like crazy. I thought they were done and gave them to my daughter and they rebloomed! I was fixated on your chandelier - I would love to see the whole thing :)
Hope you do another (or more) house tour into Christmas with these beauties blooming!
Thanks! I am going to get myself an amaryllis and maybe gift some! Great video info!!!!!
Laura, you are so knowledgeable and pass along and explain the information so well. You could be a teacher! 😃 Thanks for this great and informative video!
Laura, I am rewatching your old videos again and just realised that in your last Amaryllis video (maybe one before last), that the wall behind you was green. I much prefer the creamy white that you have painted it now. Even though you say that you struggle with interior design, I think you have a great style and a good eye for detail!
Beautiful! I never toss my Amaryllis, I've had mine blooming since 2009 when I first got my first Bulb and I wish I could get more. They seem to be so pricy.
Fun to see the different kinds of planters you used. Thanks!
@gardenanswer you got me hooked on amaryllis during you planting last year. Last years are living in an outside bed now but I got new ones potted up for this year. One is the at work mascot - they named her Victoria bc she’s a Royal Red. Everyone enjoys watching her begin to grow 😃👍🏼 thanks for the video.
I love how you planted them. I’ve been wanting to get some for a long time. My Mom has been growing some as a house plant. They are so beautiful when the flowers bloom. I guess I’m going to have a get some. Thanks for sharing your video.
Love this video! Planted mine last week....so nice to have blooms in the house during those gloomy winter months! Here in the south, we can plant our spent Amaryllis bulbs in our gardens once spring arrives and they come back and bloom beautifully year after year!
Wonderful video....thanks for posting. Can't wait to see the beautiful blooms. I have one that I brought in from outside. I planted in a clear vase with water. 💜
I live in zone 6, and plant my Amaryllis out in my garden in mid-May. They bloom for a couple weeks in the Summer. I dig them out when I take out my other tender bulbs like Gladiolus. They grow lots of babies in the garden, but you have to replant those babies 2-3 seasons before those will be big enough to bloom. Happy Gardending, ya'll!
Wow! What a show of flowers that will be! Will love to see them all!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm so excited to start my seeds in the spring. Ive been collecting from neighbors and dead heading at my city park. They luv me. It keeps the flower beds pretty and less work for them. I'm even learning about the roses in our city rose garden.
My neighbor thinned his flowers and gave me some bulbs. Since I'm on disability I don't really have extra money to purchase. This has been fun.
I have one bulb which I repotted from last year and it has already got 2 really long leaves. I will have to stake this one because last year I had to prop it against the fireplace wall! LOL It was so pretty and the blooms last so long. I love them and usually have at least one during the winter. I've never seen any bulbs that large! I'll have to see if I can find some. Thanks for sharing.
Aaron, love the editing.
They're All So Gorgeous, Really Hard To Choose A Favorite ! ' Papillio ' Is High On My List From A
Garden Answer Video, Back In 2017.
So many varieties! I have been trying to get my hands on a "Black Pearl Amaryllis" but everywhere is always sold out of them!
Thistle and Twine ~ Amazon Has Black Pearl Amaryllis Bulbs In Stock Currently, Starting At $8.99
Through ' VanZyverden - est. 1919 ' . . . Treat Yourself !
@@w.bovgvereav5761 thx! I might have to just go ahead and treat myself!
Can’t wait to see their blooms! I only planted one late October. But I think I’m going to plant more some times this week. So I have a continuous show throughout the season. 🥰
I think the Dancing Queen are my favorite too. I just saw some yesterday, I think I'll have to go get some. Thanks for sharing.
Oh great! Happy to see this! I just planted 6 Minerva amaryllis in terra cotta pots: they are red with a white star center. I placed a container with 10 paper whites in the center in a terra cotta bowl with water and rocks, with the amaryllis surrounding on 3 sides. I think it will be a lovely display. Can’t wait to see how mine and yours turn out! Thanks for doing this video! ♥️💚🌺
When I went on the website to purchase the heirloom flower press, I ordered a Spartacus amaryllis. I’ve never had one of these plants before. I can’t wait to watch the updates. I really hope my amaryllis does good.
I planted two up.... now I feel like I seriously underplanted! I want more in my life!!!
Haha, I have 5 (4 from last year, one I just bought) and I told myself only one this year...but now I want more!
I bought an amaryllis bulb exactly one month ago and potted it up immediately, thinking it would take until christmas to bloom. But I think the flowers will be open in a day or two as the flower bud is already swelling. I think it's going so fast because it's in such a sunny spot :)
Yep time to go shopping! 🌱
I told myself I could only get one this year, but this video is making me want more! I'm up to 5 already
I just remembered how much I also loved last year's Amaryllis arangement when I saw that beautiful urn again this year. The arangement with the dried Hydrangea blooms and dried fruit inspired by the cover of Victoria Magazine, I think. ... But I don't remember seeing it in bloom... My Amaryllis had a hard time blooming last year and I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue. 🌺😊
I loved that arrangement too! I think we got a glimpse of it in one of her tree decorating or holiday tour videos...a couple of mine took way longer than 12 weeks to bloom, and this year I am hoping I can get them to rebloom, but we shall see
You inspired me to try Amaryllis for the first time. They seemed too exotic. I purchased 3 that came in a kit with a thick coat of wax covering 3/4 of the bulb. They’re meant to grow in their case and treated as an annual, I guess. They already have 2-3 inch stalks. I’m excited. Next year I’ll definitely try the natural way. Thanks for your year round inspiration. I thought gardening was over by November. I’m so glad to have my hands in soil all year! Many blessings to you and you’re beautiful family.
I just planted my first! Thanks Laura!
Good video instructions! I kept mine from last year and they are shooting up good. I try to time them to bloom on my granddaughters birthday in December. Thanks Laura🌺
the Amaryllis will be beautiful. Those bulbs!! WOWZA!!
Would soaking the base of the bulb overnight encourage the bulb to root faster?
Thank you for making this time of year something colourful to look forward to in a few weeks! I just happen to plant my first amaryllis this weekend.
Love the dancing Queen!! So beautiful when we really need some flowers in the long hard winter!!
I love Amaryllis - I named my daughter after them - she is 29 by now
I was so excited when I saw the title, I just planted mine this weekend ❤️
I was really looking forward to this video ❤️
We love to have bulbs blooming after Christmas as you mentioned. They bring pure joy to us. You do inspire and you made my morning. God Bless from Cle Elum, Wa!
why are the closeups so satisfying to watch
I love your presentation, it add so much knowledge to feel comfortable to plant my Amaryllis!
Hi Laura! I live on a tropical island in the Maldives. It's super hot over here. Can these bulbs perform well in our climate? Also, how do we fertilise a bulb that is in a bulb vase with water??
Ps: your videos are a delight to watch! My 3 year old knows your voice now because I watch them all the time. Lots of love to your family from ours!
I planted 2 amaryllis a couple of days ago too. When mine are done blooming I put them in the ground here in zone 9b. Love your videos!
Oh wow! love all of those Amaryllis, my favorite is the Flamenco Queen, then Dancing Queen, then Samba, oh my it is hard to really pick a favorite they are all so gorgeous. Now I am inspired to go and find me a bulb or two or three, I haven't grown an Amaryllis in years. Loved this video, thanks Laura you know just what to film for us. I look forward to seeing them as they grow, that will be exciting.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been wanting to try Amaryllis bulbs for a long time. It seemed so mysterious. Now I have more confidence to give it a go!
Hi, did you keep your last year’s amaryllis? Where are they? Are you going to show them as well?
BR
I sure hope she does!
Mine from last year are not doing anything:(
She said its ok to throw them out but that was not nice coming from a good gardener. 2020
So glad you plant in your kitchen😃. Don’t have a she shed or greenhouse so that is my planting place too😂
Hi Laura I'm in zone 9b this is my first time planting amaryllis I got the grand trio, looking forward to seeing the beautiful blooms.
I love these flowers but I’m not sure about growing them because I don’t know what to do with them after flowering (storing them) xxx
They have done a video on aftercare of amaryllis
th-cam.com/video/VnNuDb31gHw/w-d-xo.html
I already have 8 bulbs - 4 at home and 4 in the office and all of them are sleeping at the moment. This video of course makes me want to order lots more. :D But I can't bear throwing them out after blooming as the leaves are so nice and green. I can treat tulips as annuals in pots because their foliage withers away.
Great gift idea! I think I may pot up a few in the tall terracotta pots for my daughters for Christmas!
So very lovely! What a beautiful show the bulbs will provide in the dead of winter!
Thanks for this great video - as usual! Looking forward to seeing how yours bloom. I’m going to plant a couple this year for January bloom.
Thank you for this video Laura. I’ve always wanted to try planting these for the holiday but had no idea how to grow them.
I love amaryllis! Such a nice treat during the winter! You will become addicted and want every variety!!
I've always seen these but i have never planted one.I might have to this year just to see for myself. Thanks for the video.Xx
It's so fun to have such big colorful blooms in those dreary winter months! You will want every variety!
Coffee with Laura and beautiful bulbs and containers!! Thank you for the information about these amazing plants, I will have to look into getting one this year!
Can't wait to see the updates on your amaryllis!
Wow I het totally enthousiast from your videos about Amaryllis. I’m gonna try this also. Thank you for your inspiration. Greetings from Holland.
