I clicked this because that's a huge bulb you're holding in the thumbnail. Wow. I just got a couple in wax this season and love them. I was so excited to learn I can keep growing it year after year. Thank you for all the knowledge you shared in this. Update: It bloomed twice since I got it! And the second time I let the seed pods develop. Now I have seeds! Wish me luck!

wow, I've never seen a bulb as large as that, it's amazing. would love to see that blooming too. How old do you think it is? Have you have any problems with the Narcissus fly invading your bulbs? All 4 of mine that I planted in the ground last summer have different extents of damage, and I've had to chip several of the bulbs, hoping they'll send offshoots. I have a plant to protect mine this year from the flies!

They do best if they don't have a lot of room in their pot. You only want to give them about 2" between the bulb and the pot. So your big amaryllis bulb will be perfect in that pot you showed.

Removing the blooms will not hurt the plant. The most important thing is to not cut the long strappy leaves. The leaves supply nutrients and energy to the bulb.

Hi I just found your page and also purchased my first 2 amaryllis! If im hearing you correctly you leave yours out all year long? Other videos put them in dark or corners to go dormant 2 months and then bring them out and water. Is this not necessary if not I'd love your way much better lol

@nicoleoda508 4 ай бұрын

Amaryllis like tighter quarters. When they grow in the ground they will thrive on growing excellent when they’re all kind of clustered together. That large pot for the large bulb will be better for it than going for a larger one pot.

@vickyspiers2835 5 ай бұрын

I have been a big fan of amaryllis for years. I put my pots outside during the summer & they bloom like crazy. I just bought 2 white bulbs a few weeks before Christmas. One is blooming now but I’ve noticed that the edges are a little brown. Is that common for the white variety? This is the 1st time I’ve purchased that color. I think it’s called a double white with multiple petals. Also, what fertilizer do you recommend? Thanks, I just discovered your channel on KZfaq & I appreciate the help! Thanks for sharing. I’m in the US zone 7

@MacGardenStyle 5 ай бұрын

It is common for white amaryllis to have small speck, fleck, or streaks of color. I use a general purpose fertilizer that is high in potassium for my bulbs.

@suzannekaster4462 6 ай бұрын

Glad to find you Do you put these bulbs in a dark cool area after they are finished blooming? I heard that this is so the bulbs can rest and be dormant. After about 6 weeks repot them Again so they will bloom.

@MacGardenStyle 6 ай бұрын

I repot my amaryllis and place them into a cool room with plenty of light. The leaves are how the plant recovers energy for the bulb so I don't place my amaryllis into a dark room after blooming. It is similar to not cutting daffodils leaves after them bloom. If I were to rest my amaryllis bulbs it would be 2-3 months after they bloom. This will allow the bulb to recover. But I don't rest mine at all.

@machellroiland3228 2 ай бұрын

So I have a friend that gave me 2 Amaryllis about 3 yrs ago and I never really paid attention to what they were till recently. Once I found out what they are I started looking into how to care for them. I've never gotten any blooms from them only the long green leaves. They were in 2 small pots so I thought I might have better luck with them blooming if I put them in the ground. I live in FL so it's generally warm most of the year. I did plant them individually but side by side. I supported the leaves gave them water but now the leaves are dying. I have a pretty good green thumb so it's very depressing that they seem to be dying. What am I doing wrong? I should pull them out of the ground and pot them again or are they just stressed behind being put in the ground and they will eventually start to take off. Thank you for your help.
