My Amaryllis Passion Grows! How to Plant, Propagate, & Rebloom Amaryllis Bulbs + Cut Amaryllis Tips!

  • My passion for amaryllis started as a young girl and the obsession has been growing ever since. My grandma always had a multitude of amaryllis blooming for the holidays. She would display some with houseplants, place single bulb pots in visitor's bedrooms, and give dozens away as Christmas gifts.
    When I first started growing amaryllis, I would purchase boxed grow kits from the local Tractor and Supply. These kits included dehydrated coco coir, a plastic pot, and a small amaryllis bulb. Generally, these small bulbs produced only one or two flowering stalks. But, as my passion for amaryllis grew, I started to invest in larger bulbs.
    Amaryllis bulbs are sold in centimeters which is the measurement around the widest part of the bulb. I prefer to purchase 34/36 or 38/40 cm bulbs whenever possible. Larger bulbs will produce more flowers and have thicker, stronger stems than their smaller counterparts. Infact, I've had some 38 cm bulbs put out five flowering stems. These jumbo amaryllis bulbs are a full year older than smaller bulbs and will be slightly more expensive. In my opinion it’s completely worth the extra cost.
    Most amaryllis bulbs come from Peru, South Africa, Brazil (Southern Hemisphere) or Holland (Northern Hemisphere). These bulbs naturally flower according to their country of origins calendar. Southern hemisphere bulbs are groomed for immediate performance and will bloom just 4-6 weeks after planting. You will often see these amaryllis listed as “Early Blooming” or “Christmas Flowering.”
    However, amaryllis bulbs grown in the northern hemisphere (Holland) will generally bloom 8-12 weeks after planting. If you want to hold amaryllis bulbs, it’s best to use Northern Hemisphere bulbs.
    Planting amaryllis bulbs is a fun, quick, and easy endeavor. Amaryllis bulbs prefer to be relatively tight in their pots so choose a container that's approximately 2 inches wider than your bulb. A heavy container with a drainage hole will keep the display from toppling over and from becoming waterlogged.
    Fill your container halfway full of high quality premoistened potting soil. Set the bulb on top the soil and fill in around the bulb with more potting soil leaving the top 1/3 of the bulb exposed.
    After your bulbs are planted water around the perimeter bulb. Then keep the soil barely moist, applying approximately 1/2 cup of water per week. Place your pots in a warm area (68-70°F) with bright, indirect light and watch them grow and bloom!
    Bonus Tip! A 2013 study by Cornell and Kansas State University concluded that soaking amaryllis roots in room temperature water for 12 hours prior to planting resulted in more rapid and uniform early leaf growth, and greater overall early vigor. Read the full study HERE.
    Reblooming an amaryllis bulb for future holidays is easier than it sounds. As with other flower bulbs, amaryllis use their leaves to produce energy for next year’s flowers. If you want them to rebloom at a certain time you will need to control their calendar. To have your amaryllis flower again at Christmas follow these steps.
    After blooming, grow your amaryllis as a houseplant for the rest of winter and spring. Give it plenty of light inside the home and keep it watered. After all danger of frost has passed move the pot outside for the summer. The bulb should stay dry, and the soil should be barely moist -- never soggy. If your summers are wet, you may need to shield the pot from excessive rain.
    In late summer, stop watering and move the potted bulb to a cool (50-55°F), dark, dry location. An unheated basement is ideal. The leaves will gradually wither as the plant goes dormant. Leave the bulb alone and don’t water them for 2-3 months.
    After dormancy, bring the bulbs back into a warm area with bright light. Remove all the dead foliage, top dress the bulb with fresh soil, and water well to wake up the bulbs.
    Amaryllis bulbs increase in diameter as they age and may need repotted every three to four years. To repot, remove the bulb from the container and gently shake off excess soil. Remove the dry scales and repot into the next size pot.
    Ideally, you want to bring the bulbs out of dormancy 8-12 weeks before you want them to rebloom. Therefore, if you want an amaryllis to be in bloom on Christmas day you would put them into dormancy in August, take them out of dormancy in October, and they should rebloom in late December/early January. Naturally, there are variables, but this is the calendar that has given me the best success rate for subsequent holiday blooms.

    Your amaryllis collection is so beautiful! I purchased a Cherry Nymph amaryllis and I'm glad you mentioned that these are shorter, because I thought I did something wrong. I have around 10 of them. I purchase most of mine from big box stores and was able to find some very rare varieties - at least to me! I'm inspired by your collection and was so happy to get my 1 amaryllis from last year to rebook! I didn't do anything special, but I did stop watering it and placed it outside in the garden container and all.

      @@manishhkr I have a lemon and lime amaryllis from Thompson and Morgan, the old bulb has never grown in size instead it has had many small bulbs grow from it. It only flowers every other year now and it’s flowers are smaller but I will always keep it as my mother gave it to me before she died. I think it’s success is due to I never cut its leaves off until the bulb sheds them itself.

    “If that’s not fun, I don’t know what is”.. that part and many more made me laugh lol. It’s all very cute and inspiring. I found this vid today because my best friend bought me an Amaryllis bulb this past November.. she had 5 blooms! It’s halfway through January now, and the flowers have suddenly started to wilt and darken. I had no idea what to do. My experience with plants always ends up with them rotten or dead. This was a perfect video (it even tells us not to water directly into the neck of your Amaryllis, which I may or may not have been prepared to do). Everything was explained so well, in such a helpful progression, and with visual examples, etc. I don’t think I hit rewind even once. Thank you so much for your expertise

    Thank you Danielle. You have really sparked my passion for amaryllis and now I am equally obsessed with growing them. Question, what do you do when a leaf completely flops over? It can no longer stand straight but does not appear brown or dead. Do you remove that leaf or prop it with a pole or other support? I am still working on my ability to force/rebloom these beautiful plants inside in pots. I am zone 9a so I plant them outside but they typically rebloom in the April-May timeframe. Thank you for all of the great tips you provide on amaryllis!

    So happy this video popped up! I picked up my first ever amaryllis bulb in "after holiday markdowns." No bloom, rolling loose on top of soil in a cute red pot. Bulb felt firm, so I decided to rescue it for $2.99! Lol 3 weeks later, the spike is a foot tall ready to bloom! I expect a red "Ferrari" for Valentine's day! I'm in zone 5 with 6 inches of snow outside, and an orphaned amaryllis growing! Thank you for your great presentation! So informative and concise. Great job.🌺🌺🌺

    I am trying to revive my Red Lions, it has been a number of years since they have bloomed. I had so many of them from 3 mother bulbs that I lost track of them. Improper care caused the mother bulbs to shrink dramatically and die. So I have about 12 bulking up for a few years now. A couple have bloomed, but only every second year or so. Hopefully, this will be the year for some color.

    Thanks. I lived in Colombia S. Am. for many years. In the planes there were wild amaryllis plants that produced a nice light orangish flower after dry season. These looked similar to the ones that my grandma always grew. I then moved to the coffee growing area of Colombia and they had amaryllis plants growing everywhere. I grew some outside in the ground and they made large bulbs and made lots of flowers and offshoots to the point that they became overcrowded. I have a few here in IL. You didn't say much about fertilizing the plants to produce larger bulbs. I like to repot yearly to get more fertil soil for good growth.

    My rookie mistake was to not bring it in and put it in cellar til Oct. I took it out in Dec. All I'm getting are long beautiful leaves. No flower stems, just 4 leaves. This year i will put it into dormancy in Aug. Hopefully that will correct it so I get flowers again. 🤔😉❤.

    I understand you peel the wax and plant the bulb, question...can you plant it in just water or should it be in dirt?

    Hi Danielle, I was bought an Amaryllis for Christmas about 4 years ago and after it had finished flowering I had two seed pods that grew, I waiting until they burst open and put the paper thin seeds into a glass of water. I had no idea really what to do with them so was just guessing. The seeds grew and I actually got 9 babies, I have given 6 away and have kept 3, my 3 measure between 5cm and 7cm. They have flowered but the leaves are a droppy, would this get better as the bulb ages? Do the bulbs need feeding with anything? Thank you for the great video 😊

I first put them in a whiskey barrel a lot of them bloomed that first year. He never did anything to his oner winter or anything so I didn't either. Sitting up on that deck in a planter was not the place😢😢😢i think one huge bulb made it. I went the next spring and got more. I put them into a bed close to the house. We had a terrible snow storm and several days that were going to be less than 10 degrees. I ran out in the snow, determined not to loose them this year. Dug every one up and put in my bathtub. They stayed there for couple of months, and to my shock, bloomed beautifully. I put them back out and i only had one that has bloomed this year. It had 2 flower stalks on it. Lots of wide healthy looking green leaves though, so know most of them survived. I like the idea of potting them up better as well. Seems to show them off more.❤

      pataustin1977: Yurs are now planted outside in TN: does it freeze where you are in the winter? I've seen one old house in NC where I live that has a huge bed in front with what appears to be amaryllis and I always wanted to try planting outdoors. Let us know more! Have yours increased from bulblets? (what's the right term for the new corms?)

    In 24 minutes (the length of your video) I learned more about amaryllis than I have by watching other videos and reading about the plant!! This video was SO VERY HELPFUL!!! Thank you so much ~ I never knew anything about why larger bulbs were better to have, or that buying them from southern climate growers was so important for Christmas blooms. Thank you thank you!! I just found your channel, and I just subscribed!! Have a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year!

    Great job Danielle! Your tutorials have given me more confidence in growing my amaryllis this year. I have 7 growing right now that I planted 2 weeks apart. The first ones now have 1-6" flower stalks on them and I get up every morning to check their growth. No matter how many times I've grown an amaryllis I'm amazed at how fast that stalk grows & it gives me so much to look forward to at this time of year when nothing else is blooming. You have so much patience and do a wonderful job explaining all the stages of growing amaryllis. Thank you very much and I wish you and your family a blessed Christmas season!!

    I am thrilled to have found your channel! Have always loved amaryllis, but mistakenly believed once bloomed it was difficult to get them to rebloom. Well….no longer! It is ON! I saved 2 gorgeous picotee bulbs from last Christmas and set them out all summer. They are now hibernating in my basement. This year, I may have over done it with bulbs…..I’ve combined 3 red lions in a huge put with several house plants and poinsettias surrounding them. I have potted up white amaryllis and am trying 3 amaryllis bulbs in specific soilless, grow vases meant for them. And I’m giving them as gifts to almost everyone. Phew!!! Is that too much? 🤣😂🤣. Never! Been hunting for different varieties in various nurseries as well. This is just so much fun! Thank you for your enthusiasm ! Merry Christmas to you.

    First time trying to get mine to re-bloom. I followed your advice and my bulbs seem to be alive but I've had them in a bright spot on a heat mat but after 3 weeks, still not growing. Do I just need to be patient or give up on these?

    • @NorthlawnFlowerFarm
      @NorthlawnFlowerFarm  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi Pam! Yes I wouldn't worry at all. Some of mine wake up faster than others. Some botanists say it takes four leaves to rebloom. I have not personally found that to be case, but if the bulb was very small to begin with perhaps it will take two years to rebloom. They always wake up eventually. If they did not create enough energy to rebloom you will only get leaves. That happened to me with a small bulb. However, the following year it did rebloom.

I got 3 tall spikes with 4 blooms each. The blooms were not very big, but I was really surprised with the result. The bulbs come from the Netherlands.

    Hi Danielle,
    I want to tell you thank you! I appreciate the time that you've taken to teach me so much!
    My first career was in speech pathology. I decided to work as a speech therapist with Texas public schools. Then I experienced health problems that interfered with my career and hence my retirement.
    During those 30 years my love of growing plants developed as a way to connect with my grandfather that was a farmer. It was a great experience as I was growing up to help granddaddy around on the farm.
    I apologize for diving deep into my history but I think it's a nice foundation into who I am.
    I live in zone 8a. And I realize that I need to make adjustments from your zone to my zone.
    The good news is that you have inspired me to begin my flower farm this upcoming season. It's a little scary because I'm single after a devastating divorce but I love growing veggies and flowers!
    Plus, I felt that Amaryllis was out of reach due to my beginner skill level but after this video, I will give it a try!
    I have searched for a mentor but it hasn't materialized yet.
    In addition, I was also inspired with the idea of giving from the video that you shared with your guest. I already had that plan but it helped me to focus on working out the details!
    Thank you again for your encouragement & guidance! 🙏🏼
    I would love to keep you posted, if you are available. 💞🌹
    Best wishes,
    Shelley

    I am JUST as excited about Amaryllis as you! I have successfully put them dormant, re bloomed them and basically have learned they are tough as nails. I am in the Pacific Northwest. I have had them bloom in the middle of summer outside (first time this year) and that was TOTALLY exciting! Before I knew anything I just knew they needed to have a dormant period and I uprooted them, wrapped in brown paper until the stalks dried up, then re potted and lo and behold they bloomed just PERFECTLY. So it was a permanent relationship after that. I will use your method this year and just let them dry in their pots in my husbands shop where its dark and cool. So FUN. I have new babies that I have had long enough to bloom and that really is ADDICTING. Love your video! Thank you!
