Is that what those black thin flakes were? Couldn't catch what he was saying. I have a red one that's done blooming. Want to keep alive.

@@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.

Thanks for the info. I had one flowering at xmas 4 blooms on one stem. Now has been 3 months on a sunny indoor sill with six 70cm strap leaves. I was given another 5 weeks ago and it produced 2 stems with 4 blooms on one and 5 on the other.

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.

Kat That’s right he cut off the stem and then immediately cut off the leaves. That doesn’t make any sense.

I wondered about that, too.

Wow

Helluminati I don't think you are bad with plats at all. You love them and rescued one. It will bloom for you. Read the comments above and they will help. Keep on rescuing and learning and appreciating plants and living beings, as you already do.

Hi, when you get your bulb follow the instructions on the box. Don't give up. You going to need a lot of patience. Fallow the (amaryllis men)

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

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.

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!

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?

you can very carefully remove it if you want, but a chance of having it flowering again is very remote !! also Check "how are made those waxed bulbs , why and where ? " and what to do with them when it has finished flowering. 💐 ....

I don't think Naked Ladies are Amaryllis. Aren't they a Tropical lily?

Jill I'm in zone 9 California, I just keep mine in pots outside in winter. I just keep them out of the rain in winter and they flower every year in spring.

what seed, there is no seed. they sprout around the sides to form new plants in addition to the mother.

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.

@@nexingtoncaldwell6381 Look again. It was edited so kind of choppy, so it might not have registered in your mind, when he showed planting them in a flat of growing medium. He first showed a piece of white paper with several large, black seeds, like watermelon seeds on it, then went on to planting them.

The seeds come from the flower after blooming,I experienced that with one of my amaryllis,I have it on ground and after like the third year of blooming after the flower dried the seeds showed. I want to ask if I have the plants on the ground do i have to pull them out every year?

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.

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 KZfaq. I’m here for the information, not to listen to bad music.
