What should I do I let my plant grow then I put it in the dark. In late Nov I repotted it and all I keep getting is the long leaves. No new flowers???

@bensellgreenhouse 2 күн бұрын

@@denisethorn9955 you will need to keep it dry and in less light for about 1-2 months. Take it from the pot, trim the roots and fertilize. Sometimes they rebloom later in the season like February unless given very specific care. Please fertilize it if you haven’t and wait another few weeks. I have a few doing the same thing as yours that I expect will bloom anytime February-April. It also depends upon age and size of bulb.

@@denisethorn9955 also, the bulb does better if given temperature changes. If it is always in temps around 65-75 degrees it needs cooler temps for about 3-4 weeks to rebloom.

Nice! what to do with bulbs encased in wax?

@bensellgreenhouse 24 күн бұрын

@@nancygroves5512 I would try to take the wax completely off so the bulb can breathe. Repot it into a tight pot and water with fertilizer to see if you can get roots to develop. It will also need a dry period and if the leaves developed you will need to let them dry. It may flower spring or summer now as it gets back on schedule

I bought a wandering Jew plant in the summer. It has light purple leaves and I just love it. The colors are beautiful and it’s a strong plant for my balcony. I just brought it in for the winter hoping it will last for next summer. I actually bought two of them and I need to transfer the plants from one pot to the other . I think a squirrel got to one. I watched your video and will do what you described. Thanks for making it simple. I’ve now subscribed to your channel.

Great video! But you did miss the #1 natural trigger to force blooming on these. It's an extended dry period. That is bolstered by cool night temps you mentioned they get when outside. To 100% guarantee a bloom, grown them outside with protection from midday sun under a deck or awning, so they only get direct sun early and/or late in the day. Grow them with fertilizer and frequent water so they're plump & fat and just tinged reddish at the edges from sun. Then when they get exposed to those cool night temps, stop watering completely for many weeks and protect from rain. When they get gaunt and the center ribs start to become prominent from drying down, they'll start to set buds if the plant is big enough. As soon as you get the buds set, then you can start up light water & fertilizer again and enjoy their amazing blooms. With this dry + cold method it's possible to get 2 sets of blooms per year. 🙂

@@marymccavitt5329 if you can give them a few weeks of cold in the south, then yes. I know many people plant these in the ground in the south. There are Southern hemisphere Amaryllises that would do better in your location. Check out Colorblends or other bulb companies for the southern varieties that work best in the south.

Question about indoor Amarylis in May... bought waxed amarylis bulb in November, bloomed thru Christmas. After blooming ended (around February) I cut off wax, trimmed leaves down to a few inches and potted. Now it's May and the plant keeps growing with leaves 23" high with three leaf stems. At this point do I just let them continuing to grow until September and THEN cut them back and prep for dormancy? OR should I be starting dormancy sooner? Right now I water once a week and have not fertilized, just potted in potting soil.

@@michaelcarey5638 yes, let them continue to grow through September then start a dormancy period as temps start to cool. I give them at least a month of chill. Sometimes they bloom after xmas even into February.

You can let them be or trim them off. Usually if it grows roots on the paddles that means inconsistent or not enough water. Epiphytes will also develop roots to anchor themselves on trees or other structures. Keep checking your pts for correct watering.

We start with some bulbs that are already large that ship from Holland, but every year your bulb should expand and grow larger if cared for properly. Trimming the roots slightly and keeping them in tighter pots helps.
