    I have had Amaryllis 4 years, I had 3 flowers last year. I live in San Diego,CA and I have kept the pot on my porch without changing location. I have never cut off the green leaves, I do remove them when they turn yellow. We are having a 38F degree weather at night, at 63+ during the day. They have been doing beautifully and am happy the way they have been doing. Thanks for the tip though.

    Thank you for the video! I have one Amaryllis which I bought during Christmas. It didn't produce flower last winter. In the early Summer I put it in a larger pot and leave out side. Several strong leaves came out and the plant looks very healthy. Previously I thought this is just one season plant, which is how I treated another Amaryllis I bought in the year before. Thanks to this video, now I know how to take care of this plant in its life cycle and maybe propagate it from some side shoots...

      @@stephanieduncan933 the only way to get the seeds is to not cut off the stem when the flower dies. As it slowly dies the top of the stalk becomes a ball (about 3/4 the size of a golf ball). As the ball dries it slowly opens & you will see flat black (they look like dried paper) seeds. Now you cut the ball off, being careful to not let the seeds drop out. They are very fine & can easily blow away. I keep them in a dry container but don’t seal the lid completely. I’m waiting for mine to completely dry before I attempt to plant them.

    my reds just gave me seeds for the first time in 7 years. I will be setting them to germinate. I live in the Caribbean so the conditions are right and its dry season, so I will be watering once a week or as the soil is dry to the touch. The temps reach as high as 42C here and the coolest spot out of the sun is 32C during the day, it does get to 23C at night, so it should be fine. Our humidity is 50% during the day and 65% at night so pretty arid this time of the year. Thanks for the tips.

    I'm amazed you cut off the leaves immediately after flowering. Doesn't the bulb need to regenerate for the next blooming through the leaves? I have had the same two bulbs for several years now and when it blooms in the middle of winter, completes blooming, I just cut off the stalk and leave the leaves in a sunny window. Once warm enough to bring outside (10-12 celcius - no freezing nights), I keep them there all summer and keep watering once a week or so. I cut back leaves once they have semi-yellowed and then leave them dormant which is usually around Aug/Sept. until a month or so before Christmas. This year however, Canada got a tropical summer and one of my bulbs bloomed in July! The bulbs have not been getting bigger though so I might try according to this video. Thanks! How long does a single bulb usually last if taken care of and what sort of fertilizer did you have in your sprayer?

      ABSOLUTELY DO NOT CUT OFF LEAVES IMMEDIATELY AFTER FLOWERING !!! Kat is right. The leaves are essential for developing a good bulb for the next blooming. This video is not good. Bad advice, & the music doesn't help.

  • @liligibson8457
    @liligibson8457 ปีที่แล้ว

    So if I understand it right, I assume I should cut off the leaves and put them in a cool place and bring them back sometime by the end of November ? I let them outside from May to Oct. Then it is too cold so I have to bring them indoors. Maybe Oct. should be the time I cut off the leaves.

    Help, my plant had several blossoms on it last year. Two stocks. This year it looks as though it's not going to do anything. It's been indoors in the sun light . Earlier this year I accidentally put it in fertilizer and the bulb turned white, I panicked and put it in another pot with fresh dirt. And the bulb has turned green. Nothing seems to be happening. Now the weather is changing and nothing. It is going to get much colder. But I'm afraid that'll kill it. What can I do to make it bloom around Christmas time.

Had 2 very long stems each with 4 flowers which were gorgeous, but no leaves. Should I still cut the stems down? But my confusion is the pebbles. Do I cut the stems then leave them in the pebbles??

    so I'm putting them in a pretty dark basement and checking after 8 weeks, to see if anything is growing. Dark, right? Do they need complete darkness as in putting in a paper bag? I failed last year - followed instructions to shake off the soil, put them in a paper bag for 10 weeks. Got nothing, but new leaves all year, and I fertilized. No water for how long before putting in the dark, 55-degree basement?? THANKS

    This year was not a good year for my Red Lion Amaryllis. The spikes dried and fell off. I lost 3/4 of my "Mother Plants" and 6/14 of the offsets that I was growing. None of them bloomed this year but at least they leafed out and had healthy leaves. The bulbs are hard and put into hibernation until March-ish. Hopefully they will give me big red blooms again in 2020.

  • @corinnemontgomery8325
    @corinnemontgomery8325 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a question. I did the prep to the bulb after the flowering process was done. Brought them back out and now I have very tall leaves that aren't very strong. I've read before that if your bulb produces leaves to early you are to cut them again. I have not done this yet. Please advise. Do I just wait?

      I keep mine loose in a paper bag in the basement for about three months. They can take a fair bit of abuse when they are dormant, the ones you buy in a box have been in there for at least six months. Just make sure they don't rot, water is the enemy during dormancy!

      As long as possible. If you want to have new flowers for christmas you have to count backwards to make sure they can go through their whole cycle in time. If you're ok with later blooms you can let them go until they have to come inside for first frost of the year.

    • @cherylanderson3340
      @cherylanderson3340 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      See my reply above, please. Let the leaves remain & feed it from Feb through fall. Then withhold water, & lightly water, weekly.
      Remove it from full sun, & stop feeding. As leaves begin to yellow,remove those leaves. I'm of the school that believes in mimicing nature, & that the bulb will let leaves yellow after they are no longer needed, and they gradually go into dormancy, so allow the bulb to take what it needs from the leaves, though some just cut them of at their convenience, & we can see that, for some they do send up healthy looking scapes, so you decide what you want to do.
      I like the leaves so keep them with my other plants until fall.

    • @cherylanderson3340
      @cherylanderson3340 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They do produce small bulbs, but also produce seeds.
      They didn't show how those seeds were produced, & may have purchased those seeds.
      Those seeds may have been produced in that greenhouse, but if so, they didn't show the seed production, just the planting of seeds. Not every grower wants to take the time or shelf space to allow for this very slow process.
      Anyone who enjoys gardening enough to have their own greenhouse, as productive as that one appears to be, may also enjoy producing & gathering seeds, however.
      Since these are relatively expensive bulbs, it could pay off if professionally grown, unsold Amaryllis in bloom were coaxed into producing seeds, before passing.
      This is also the way new strains or hybrids can be created, by gathering & transferring pollen to the other types of Amaryllis flowers.
      Those who do help the plants make seed, absent bees, take a little brush, gather pollen from the stamen, in the center of the flower, & gently transfer pollen to the long, central pestle, of the same flower & also onto a different hybrid,or native, which will eventually swell & produce seeds.
      Of course, when doing this, the flower stalk is not cut away after the flower passes, but is allowed to do what it is meant to do in nature, to produce seeds. This means letting it take several weeks to proceed.
      To grow a bulb from seed takes a long time, & the bulb must attain a decent size to produce a flower, so it must take a few years from hand polinating to producing a glorious blossom.
      Not all greenhouses can afford to take up shelf space, man hours & water to put in those efforts & resources into growing their own bulbs.

    I found Amaryllis in a garbage bin and i felt sorry for it. It was already in bloom, but in a gift package, so someone just threw it away:( I took it inside at my workplace and kept it there and it opened up 2 more flowers. it was white and absolutely gorgeous. When weather was warmer (it was winter when I found it), I took it home, where it sprouted long leaves, but no more flowers. Eventually it just lost all leaves and remained as a bulb in the pot. After some time, a side leave started coming out from the side. But it also died off. Atm, the bulb is strong and green and alive, but nothing else is happening. It is winter outside now and pretty dark most of the day/ evening (I live in Finland). I am bad with plants... but I hope this one lives.

    I think the plant is perfect, if you're the type of person don't don't stay on top of your plants like your supposed to. But you do like them. But you don't have any because you suck at it. That's me.. all I did was took it in during the freeze. Watered it once or twice. Thought it was dead. Now it's kind of big. The bulb is probably 3+years old. Planted 2 years ago. I'm on my second flowering right now. About to sprout. I mean bloom. Wish I had a way to show you all. Gangsta qrower. Hood plant.😂 how did I get here on this video? Oh yeah. Took a picture of the plant and Googled it so I would know what name of planet was. Lol. Okay. Thumbs up.

    Great video - thank you!! Question please -- today is Feb 12 and I planted the bulb on January 12. The leaves have grown to 40 inches but no flower yet!! I've been able to keep them upright using supports. But, they keep growing and they will soon choke me. I'm sure of it. What to do? I wonder if I should cut off or trim off the leaves? Please help me before these lil boogers keep growing and inhale me live.

      Feed it during the warm months, then in fall, stop feeding & water very slightly. Put it in a dark, cool place to rest.
      Let the leaves die & yellow, then cut them off about 1"or 2" above the bulb. Leave the bulb there, & water lightly, once a week.
      When a flower scape emerges, water a bit, not a deep soaking, & bring plant back into the light. The scape will likely need to be staked. Sometimes the leaves come in only after the bloom.
      Yours may bloom this year, or, likely may need a season, including a dormant cycle to bloom.
      Which one did you buy?

      Being hearing impared, the music makes it impossible to understand what is being said. This applies to ALL videos.

    The background music is TOO loud, it overpowers your voice. What is important is the words you are saying, the background music (in moderation) would be okay, however, once it overpowers your voice there is a need to increase the volume in order to hear you . . . . and we are back to square one; we cannot hear you clearly.
    Otherwise, your words are a good explanation of what you are doing.

    Hi. In January I bought a Amaryllis plant with bloomed flowers after few months when flowers finished and some of leaves are yellow trimmed and kept in our Garage. My question is when means in which month I will bring back that plant and repot . This is Toronto,Canada cold country. Please let me know . Thanks 🙏, your videos is important to me. Zz.

    • @cherylanderson3340
      @cherylanderson3340 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is a tropical plant, so if you put it in an unheated garage during the cold months, it will freeze,or just be too cold, & die & then rot, if weather is still cold. Maybe it was plenty warm by the time it went outside, so will be OK.

      I agree. I couldn’t even watch it through to the end. Adding a distracting music track had become a rampant cliche on TH-cam. I’m here for the information, not to listen to bad music.
