My Passion for Amaryllis // Planting, Care, Reblooming and Creative Ideas for Amaryllis Bulbs

- I've always loved Amaryllis. My grandma grew hundreds (maybe thousands) over the course of her lifetime, and I'm passionate about doing the same. Today I'll share details on bulb sizes and how to know when an amaryllis will bloom based on its country of origin. Then we'll talk about how to plant the bulbs, care for them as they grow, treatment after blooming, and how to rebloom the bulbs in subsequent years.
Here's an article I wrote on creative ways to gift amaryllis - blog.longfield-gardens.com/cr...

My favorite book on growing amaryllis - amzn.to/3o8o0TO - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I have watched many videos on amaryllis and have been growing a number for several years. Your video is by far the best I have seen! I have probably heard it all before but the way you express yourself will now make me remember it. Your are a superb teacher and your friendly, warm personality shines through. I love your videos.
Very true... you explain as simple as can be and you are clear and articulate and not rushing/talking so fast.
Enjoyed watching ur videos. Love this flower. I got 3 plants at this time n their all blooming.
Thank you for this video! My wonderful neighbor and piano teacher gave us this amazing huge amaryllis bulb. He and his wife potted it in the winter and gave it to us as the green leafs just started blooming! I had no idea how to take care of them, but was super excited to learn! Your video has helped so much
I have amaryllis that I have had for 20 years. It has multipled in bulbs. I'm afraid to hurt it if I try separating the bulbs. I need help.
Thank you for being so passionate about this fabulous bloom. It has enthused me so much and now I'm obsessed. I have a really old bulb that only bloomed one time and on my birthday at that, April 27. Since then, I never had let go of this bulb even when we moved 3 yrs. ago. She's still with and one day, to my shock, I saw a bud. I had kept it hidden behind a big pot of daisy under our covered patio and for about 3 yrs. now, just grew long sword like green leaves. I just thought it would never bloom again since I planted it deeply covering the whole bulb even after my senior friend gave it to me, first on the ground and now it's in a pot. To make a very long story short, I have a bud and 2 baby shoots that I have separated and replanted thanks to your tutorials. I don't know the kind I have but it's a dainty pink with a.bit of yellow. 🥰
My 1st grade teacher gifted me a single Apple Blossom amaryllis bulb. I am now 24 and I have well over 12 main plants and a ton of offshoots. I keep them planted outside since I live in the south with warmer climates. They bloom every year right around my birthday which is in April 😍 they are such a beautiful species of flowers!
Cool
I must say this is one of the best videos on Amaryllis bulbs. I love how thorough you were in explaining the process with beautiful displays to boot. Thanks so much for sharing.
I know this an older video but it made me go get 2 bulbs this year. Can’t wait to see them bloom. You make me so happy watching you and how happy you are as a gardener. Thanks for all your knowledge and sharing with all of us.
Me too!
We had a white one that bloomed continuously for 10 years! Sometimes it would bloom twice a year which was mind blowing. Thanks for the great insight!
My red amaryllis bloomed twice in the first year I had it. Now I'm getting ready to put it away for dormancy. Hoping it blooms twice again next year! 🙏🏿
But wow 10 years continuously is amazing!!
Thanks for all the very useful cultural information and decorating ideas. I used to send amaryllis bulbs to my late mother every Christmas. She lived in Houston and they were perennial in the garden there (despite all the rain). Her husband once ran the car into the downspout of the house because he was distracted looking at the bed of magnificent amaryllis that grew along the driveway. I don't think she did anything special to them but they came back every year.
We live in East Texas and we can plant them outside and they’re perennial. We don’t do anything special. I bought one new this year and when it’s done blooming I’ll plant in ground in the spring 😻
First of all…your videos always make me smile! This is such a fantastic tutorial on Amaryllis and your passion for growing them is contagious! I’ve only started one this year but I think now I should add more…😄👩🏼🌾
Hi. I usted to buy the same colors every year, but I'm buying diferentes colors this year.
I had a amerylis bloom at Christmas time. Then it bloomed again in July. I don’t know what what I did but it was nice to have it bloom again.
Hello how are you doing today
I have the same passion for amaryllis! Just received my second order a few weeks ago! Great talk on amaryllis! Best video I have seen on how to grow them. I have about thirty I put outside for the summer and they are now resting in my basement. I also forced about 40 hyacinths in my garage. ( I live in Illinois zone 5) I just discovered your videos and love them! Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much! It’s nice to know other people love these special flowers as much as I do - and especially at Christmas. I can’t wait to try and get one to rebloom. Thanks for the tip.
I love receiving Amaryllis as an early Christmas gift and having them bloom by Christmas Day or a few weeks after. The bright color flowers lift my spirits after the Christmas tree is down in the "grey winter." Your video is extra special, showing the beautiful flower and giving so much information...some I didn't know. Thanks for the video. I will share the link.
Thank you so much! You answered all the questions about growing and keeping the bulbs! 🙏🏻😍I've bought a few bulbs this year and I'm going to plant them using your expert advice! This makes me happy😁😁😁
You don’t have a problem! 🤣 They are addicting. You are the best, Danielle! I do the same process as you described and have had great luck the last couple years. I do plant them outdoors in the ground during the warm months - we get less rain that you. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I LOVED this video! This was the most informative video on amaryllis I’ve seen on TH-cam. It was also nice to see all your beautiful flowers. Thanks so much!
I love the easy instructions and your passion in growing amaryllis! I am trying to grow one right now! 😍
Great explanation. Thank you. I just ordered more this year. They are so awesome. These beautiful bulbs lift up your spirits when winter gets a bit too long. Yours look so nice.
I have been growing amaryllis for more than 30 years.l love these absolutely bright ,delightful flowers.Your presentation and your love for this flower touched my heart.
I love your amaryllis enthusiasm. This is the best tutorial. Thanks for all your expertise. 🌷
I thought I was done buying plants for the year, until your amaryllis videos these past few days. My Longfield Garden order just arrived today. Your videos seemed to prepare me in this new plant journey. Wish me luck!
Ok, now I feel like I can really get these to rebloom again, thanks Danielle! Amaryllis are so expensive and now that I know how to take care of them I'm going to give it a go.
You have inspired me to do something new, growing Amarillis! I love your idea to decorate the plant while waiting for them to take off! Thank you ❤️💓
Hello how are you doing today..
I've been looking for ideas for amaryllis companion plants and you are the first TH-camr that actually mentioned some examples. Thank you so much for the quality information and happy pre-holidays season!
Whew, that’s a lot of information but as usual, Danielle, you explain everything in such a simple-to-understand way. Your enthusiasm for amaryllis is contagious. I had given up on them because every time I have bought them (@ the big box stores) they have never bloomed in the color depicted on the label. I prefer pink over red and they ALWAYS turned out red! Not exactly getting what I paid for but I have learned my lesson; any amaryllis bulbs I buy in the future will be from a reputable company! Thank you for this great reference video.
Thank you so much for this fantastic guide! I have always wanted an amaryllis and finally got one today, and I am so nervous about killing it. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I hope my collection can be as big and beautiful as yours one day!
After care is always a problem for me. Your explanation is very easy to understand. Thank you!
You give the best advise for growing things! ⭐️
My all time favorite is that we can use ordinary “shop lights” for seedlings! Best money saving tip ever👍👍👏
That does, indeed, clear things up! A neighbor gave me a bulb, and I didn't get the process of how to place it in dormancy, even though I looked online as to how I might do so. Now I know - of course - what I'm doing wrong! I was very afraid to NOT water it, too, so, I know not to be afraid; I did not water the bulb, but was wondering if I was wrong to not water, even though I was being told not to.
Your specific timeline of how to induce the bulb to bloom is very helpful - much more clear than what I had been reading previously, in other articles, and videos!
I watched this video last year and i just has to watch it again. Thank you Danielle
I love the enthusiasm you have for these flowers and I am hoping to start a tradition with these bulbs. Thank you for the educational video.
Your video solves whatever confusion I have with amaryllis. Thank you.
Your Amaryllis are simply spectacular. I just put my six potted amaryllis into my COOL dark basement so in two months the end of November i will bring them back upstairs into the sunlight i will keep my fingers crossed for the blooms great helpful video.
So much good information about growing and caring for Amaryllis that I have never heard before. I thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning. Thank you!
I do not remove leaves or flower stalks until they are yellow and pull off easily because the bulb is absorbing anything that it can from them to strengthen itself.
Beautiful collection . Very good and easy to remember information on growing these flowers! Thanks!
Great info!! Very clear and concise so cute you are!! Thanks!
Haha I love that you just ordered more! I’m that way with spring bulbs. Every order is “the last one” 🙈🙃 and I get gifts for myself all fall and winter long 😆
Very helpful! This is my first year planting amaryllis and I’m already seeing growth!
My favorite of all your videos. Concise information on what has been a very confusing subject. Thanks. And my 3 amaryllis bulbs hiding in a cold closet with surely thank you, too!
That was a great video Danielle, very informative.
Thank you so much for this very enabling video! I just went ahead and ordered a whole bunch of bulbs. I always thought amaryllis was one and done annuals and couldn't justify spending money on them. I'm now so excited to have them as houseplants.
She made me order more too! :)
A lot of people toss them out after the holiday bloom. They didn't realize it's a flowering plant that you can enjoy for many years to come.
. Do you import y amarylls to Jamaica.
@@pershop4950 Yes! I had no idea. A neighbor just gave me one in wax. I did water once before I researched them Beautiful plant 👍🏻😊
Great explanation on the care of amaryllis. Thank you! Wonderful to see all those beautiful flowers in December.
I am going to try to plant them.Never done that before.Beautiful flower plants.Thank you for the info
I have had an Amaryllis that I got from my dad's nursing home room. He has been gone 8 years snd his Amaryllis is still going. I do exactly what you do only I bring them in in early October here in Missouri. They bloom for me in February. Love them.
I leave mine in a sunny area all year around, it blooms each year.. Fun to see them in bloom!! Your look gorgeous!
Your Magical Touch Amaryllis is stunning. What a great collection you have. Thanks for all the good information.
Thanks for the very informative video. Last year I treated myself to 3 expensive bulbs at a nursery, instead of getting the packaged blubs at the supermarket. The did great at Christmas. I transferred them to my balcony in the Spring and let them be, and to my great surprise I discovered new shoots in August. They bloomed just as great as at Christmas. Out to the balcony they went after blooming again. They have been sitting just inside my balcony door since the beginning of September. I added 3 new bulbs to the collection this year and they are starting to bloom now. Low and behold, so are the ones from last year/this summer! I did not know how to deal with them and just treated them like houseplants instead of putting them into dormancy. I think I am now addicted to get more and more as long as they are available this winter.
Great video, lots of super information! I didn't know about the N vs S hemisphere bulbs. I also have an Amaryllis problem! This Christmas my mother and I went crazy and now we have 16 between us! I give them to friends every year for Christmas. They all send me pictures when they bloom, one sent me a picture with a tape measure to show me it had grown to 14"! Best presents ever, they bring so much happiness!
This is very good information. Thank you so much. I’m just starting to try re-blooming my bulbs so wish me luck.
Flowers in winter.....color, green, growing, beauty...cheerful, interesting and fun...win, win, win....a happiness hobby...wholesome and shared by the whole family.
this was an awesome and very clear explanation on to care for my plant before, during and after blooms. This is my first year owning an amaryllis and I am loving it, its so beautiful. fingers crossed that I will have success taking care of it properly and it will rebloom for me. Right now I am just enjoying it. :). Thank you and Happy New Year!
I predict you are going to have millions of subs by the end of next year. Your videos are so informative, unpretentious, appealing to almost anyone, and so enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work!
I just started doing this, this year I have Amaryllis and Paper Whites. I'm allergic to Poinsettias so I love Amaryllis. So great to have something green and growing inside.
Thank you so much !! Your tips are so helpful. I really appreciate your site - keep up the good work.
That was a wonderful presentation!! I have neglected my amaryllis and you just brought me back to activity. Thank you.
I love the bulbs!! They are the perfect accent to holiday decorations!
I do love having indoor blooming plants when it is snowing outside too. I think I need to order more too!
Wonderful video and so helpful! Thank you for sharing so much detail. It's clear you love what you do.
What a great instructional video! You have such a great gift of explaining everything you know! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Hello how are you doing today..
Got me interested having my amaryllis grow so beautiful like yours. Thanks for sharing information about growing and taking care of this plant. Love it.
Thank you so so much for your video. It's really helped me. It's the first time I've grown an Amaryllis and I'm so happy it's bloomed and is beautiful. I'm going to follow all your tips for this coming year. Thanks again!
Absolutely beautiful, I can watch your amaryllis video over and over. They are my favorite. Thank you for sharing. ♥️from Texas
Good to share your joy!
I love them also. Where I live I have them inside and then in spring they go in my garden and bloom outside. I even buy the waxed ones, no blooms but I love the long strapped leaves. Gorgeous . great video. Thanks
Oh my word… what glorious plants.
I have always put mine in the dark all winter then bring them out in early spring (while in bloom I keep in the house, then take outside in the shade during the summer). I have give away over 50 because they spread in the summer. My blooms are usually 10 to 12 inches big. Love these flowers.
I enjoyed this video so much! Love how passionated you are - next time I visit the garden center I will definetly also get an Amaryllis 🥰
I have watched your video 3 times. So much of valuable information! Thank you!❤️
So glad I found your channel. Most informative video about amaryllis ! Can’t wait to watch other videos.🇨🇦🇨🇦
I think I’m going to have to buy myself a present now! 🎁😂 Those are so beautiful 😍 I’m an overwaterer ☺️ so thanks for all the information Danielle 🤗❤️God bless you and yours🙏🎄✨
"ya know because why not" yeah why not, it's lovely. I love them as well, planted 3 together last yr and loved the combination. I think yours in the urn looks beautiful. I have a summer blooming too, I bought it so long ago I don't even remember, wish I could get some to you this spring.
I’ve always loved Amaryllis, but never realized I could get them to rebloom past the first time. So, THANK YOU! I have a couple beauties that I just can’t part with and now I don’t have to. I’m partial to the white amaryllis, which tend to be in that lime green range. I’m gifting them to friends and making them extra special by putting an identical empty pot turned upside down, like a cover over the potted amaryllis. Then I’m connecting the 2 pots with pretty ribbon and glueing greenery on the top with a bow. They make stunning gifts and are always a hit. I put simple growing instructions on homemade tags. Thanks very much. I’ll direct the newbie amaryllis growers to your uTube channel. 👍♥️👍
best amaryllis video i have seen. you are a great teacher
It was such a pleasure Sat morning. I’m going to dig some and plant Ito pots. Arigatou!
So pretty and great information. Your home is looking so festive. Thanks again.
Your video today was timely. I cut down the two stocks this morning on my Amaryllis (it’s finished blooming) and I was wondering what to do next. Thank you so much. I appreciated all the input.
Excellent, comprehensive info, and very helpful. Thank you.
Very clear and easy to understand! Bless your soul
Really good video and right on time for the new growing season.
Nice. I may try to grow one this year. I just sent this video to my mom she love Amaryllis.🤗❤🎉⭐
That was really great. Best amaryllis video I have seen. Thank you.
Thank you, I think I have a great direction to head with my amaryllis bulbs.
This is the first amaryllis video I have watched. You have great ideas surrounding them with holly, etc., I love that one! Will keep watching. Thank you for the great tips!
Wow your so good . You are so awesome at explaining everything..... great video
Hi Danielle! I applied your idea of soaking the bulb before planting to my liatris bulbs a couple weeks ago (March). Why not? Worth a try! Thanks!!!🌸
I planted my first amaryllis and it is starting to bloom. It is so exciting. I was thrilled to come across your video and subscribed. The charcoal was a great tip
What a great video on Amaryllis. I live in South Africa and mine bloom in the spring/summer. I have always wondered what to do with them after the sensational blooming and growing season. You really explained it so well and are clearly passionate about this beautiful flower. Thank you.
Totally enjoyed your video. Been growing them for many years. Very informative for new growers. Yours are beautiful.
Thank you for the video. You answered my questions. I really did not know about the bulb origins and how it affects the blooming period.
Love that you compared her to an advent calender. It made me smile :) That's the perfect way to describe this beautiful flower :)
Thanks so much! I can’t wait to try this. I need to start soon.!
I love how much of a flower nerd you are. It is legit awesome. Happy holidays to you and yours.
Thank you so much for teaching use everything from start to finish. My son recently gave me my first ever beautiful amaryllis
Awesome video! I’ve got one that’s making me very happy but I think I will have to start more and get creative with arrangements. Thank you! ❤️
Jus bought myself 3 for my bday 1st week of dec they’re already growing & came potted as kits in plastic roomy pots boxed! Got 1 white 1 pink and a red w white so I’m gonna start my indoor garden fall / winter garden adding these to my Xmas cactus bc seems I only do great w Xmas cactus!
esp compared to my outdoor garden of pot sunk flowers which believe it or not re seed themselves delightfully all over my garden, somehow … yay me bc if I was planting them I cant grow as much at all. So I let Mother Nature kick in and enjoy!
You give me inspiration that maybe I can add these to my fall winter blooming like crazy many Xmas cactus!
I totally dread seeing my outdoor garden die off in fall
Ive tryed bringing some indoors .. a fail… but instead now after this video…
I will pull out these amaryllis letting them b my winter months indoor garden since they are less water demand like my blooming Xmas cactus! Now I’m to let the leaves stay green like a house plant and in early fall like Sept. cut off the leaves end water and put em away til NOV about the time my Xmas cactus start blooming…. Wish me luck, I don’t like causing living plants doom!
Ps amaryllis like alotta sun?? Or jus good light like my Xmas cactus?
Well thank u very much for the video! Very cool indeed
New subscriber. You are just wonderful. I love amaryllis as well. Last year was my first experience with them. I’m trying to get them to rebloom. I did get three new ones a few weeks ago. The ones from last year were in those wax containers. I may have to through them out. You’ve given me so much knowledge and I thank you. God bless you and your family 🙏🏾
Beautiful collection! Very informative, thank you!
I love how creative you are! Also your excitement and passion about these beautiful plants is infectious! Now I want more than just my one magnum, I’ll be looking for a magical touch bulb next! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity. 💕☀️🌺🌻
Thank you so much! I’m growing my first amaryllis right now and your video is so helpful!
Your comment about telling your husband not to buy you presents because you just bought 10 amaryllis was so funny! I gave mine a list of all the gardening tools I want, but I want to buy one of them today, hard to wait until
Christmas! Have a wonderful December
I am so in love with Amaryllis too! It is wonderful to see a fellow Amaryllis lover. :) This is an amazing video, I learned some new things that I did not know. You are the best!
Susan, Thanks so much for your Video. I found your video as I was looking for information on how to put my Amaryllis into dormancy, as I have owned this one for better than 20 years, and have only had it bloom 2 X in all that time. Not knowing anything about it, I suddenly realized how beautiful this plant and flower was when it bloomed for the 2nd time, after we moved to Texas, having not bloomed in over 10 years. I had no idea (for example, that they loved to be root bound,(I learned from you) ha!! who knew. I purchased my first and only Amaryllis, at Christmas time(of course) while it was beginning to bloom. I have no idea what variety this one is, other than it probably has something to do with Christmas ha ha. At any rate, thank you so much for your information on how to cut them back, clean the root ball, and put them into dormancy. In learning from you, i was lucky enough to uncover more than 20 baby's and fully grown bulbs attached to mama plant, and was able to separate all of them. I am so excited it will be difficult for me to wait until the 6 weeks to 2 months time to take them out and start them growing again. I can hardly wait. Not much can keep me from tending to my new babies in the not too distant future. Thank you again for giving me the knowledge to now take care of this beautiful plant the way it was supposed to be taking care of. Until that time, I will be catching up on the rest of your video's on all the other bulbs you have videos on. Happy growing. Billie
