- Looking to get your amaryllis to rebloom? I provide two methods for you to get those blooms! Here I am preparing them for winter where they will chill for 4 to 12 weeks. The longer you wait, the more likely you will have blooms!

Hi,
Just joined I'm a new flower grower about 4 years. Neighbor gave me a red lion amaryllis for Christmas. I have a dozen now. I grew too many to keep from seed. I'm in a condo no basement garage gets to 33 degrees in the winter. Going to put mine in a paper bag and put in the veggie drawer in the refrigerator. And I learning hibiscus growing. Have to get my plant room ready for spring.
Thanks for subbing! That sounds like a good plan!
I normally cut off the leaves & the roots right at the basal plate itself. This will expose the root nodes if you removed the basal plate before air-drying them for a few days. It's only later that I place them in the veg section of my fridge. I need to keep them in for at least 8 weeks before taking them out for a few days of air-drying again before planting up. Yes, you are right that not all will bloom though :)
I've never cut to the basal plate before. I do trim the roots somewhat. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Have been growing amaryllis bulbs found at the big box stores for years, but treated them as annuals. But then friend gave me double variety so I began my collection 4 years ago. The bulbs I receive from Holland have a good 3 inches of roots. As large and tall as the blossom scapes are, short roots would have made them ever more top-heavy. I say leave some.. Need good roots to anchor bulb in the pots I used. Terra-cotta and glazed pottery. To force to bloom for Christmas, needs 6-8 weeks from planting to bloom (depending on variety). Plus 8 weeks in dormancy. So would to need to pull in mid August. This year, I let my bulbs grow til Halloween then put into storage. Won't pot those up until January, shoot for valentine's day...just sharing how it works for me.
Mine also bloom around February. I have a red double that I have had for two years. I purchased a white double a few days ago that I'm excited to see bloom.
I, um, like your tips, and will, um, like, try to get my amaryllis to, like, bloom again.
I also, like, hit the like button as requested. 😉
You can do it! 💞
Most videos I've seen recommend leaving the leaves on.
Do whatever works for you. I don't, so I don't think it really matters either way.
I planted one in my yard 2 years ago an I leave them all year an now it has 40 new ones an bloom all summer till fall the blooms r so big
This is a great idea! I bet they are beautiful!
Can't u just put them in a bag n leave at room temp?
You can do whatever you want. This is what I do. Every year all the amaryllis that I use this process on rebloom with 100% success.
Hope that helps.
