- It's time for me to bring my Amaryllis / Hippeastrum bulbs outside so that they can continue to store energy and feed the bulbs before their dormancy period later in the season.

Here is a general timeline to follow:
January - May: Remove spent blooms; keep on a bright windowsill; water; fertilize
May - June: Plant outside after frost (in ground or in pots; fertilize)
August - September: Lift bulbs, place in cool and dry location for 6-10 weeks; do not water; 50-55 Fahrenheit
November - December: Clean bulbs; plant in pots with fresh potting mix; start watering; Place on a bright windowsill; 70-75 Fahrenheit; bulbs should bloom in about 8 weeks

I love getting/giving these as a gift. 💚
Me too! I'll be on the lookout for a white one this year! The ones that I have are either red or pink. 😊💓
I saw a sale online for amaryllis, but I wasn't sure about ordering them now since I want to grow them for the winter holidays. If I order them now, can I keep them in dormancy until the fall and then grow for winter?
I've never done this, but if it were me ordering the bulbs now, what I'd do would be experiment with them (since the price appears right). I'd put some in dormancy, but I'd also put some outdoors (either in a pot or in the ground). They may bloom for you outdoors this summer, but then you can bring them in for dormancy later this year and they may bloom again for you in the winter. It's my understanding that you can possibly get them to bloom in Spring and again in Winter. It's worth a try. Happy gardening! 😊🌹
Thanks!
