How to Grow Amaryllis Over Water // How To Rebloom An Amaryllis That Was Grown In Water

[@gradyjones9678]

I'm so excited ! Unfortunately, when I purchased my last 5 amaryllis bulbs recently, I was under the impression that I was supposed to cut the old roots on the bulbs off. I later discovered my mistake. Now the bulbs have flower buds coming out of the bulbs but no roots for planting. So i put 2 of the bulbs in glass amaryllis bulb vases I had bought specifically for amaryllis. The vase suspends the bulb above the water. I saw today that one of the bulbs now has roots growing ! Yay !! So happy

[@BarbaraDowns-z6d]

Your vidio was so good. I grew mine in water and was so please with it. You answered all my questions on how to take care of my bulb now that it is done blooming. Thank you.

[@jan-johannes-bosman]

I inherited my late father's collection. Health got me started late, but 16 bulbs survived. I use your videos teach me to continue the tradition and learn how to get them to grow again. Two flowered sofar and the rest have great foliage. I hope this year and next year will make heart jump with joy. Thank you from South Africa .🤗🇿🇦

Just purchased my first two amaryllis this past Christmas. Love your videos and I’m excited about trying to get them to bloom again and probably purchase more. Thanks for all the helpful information. 😊❤️

vvery interesting i had let te bulb drry out in the soil i didnt know you had to feed them. your bulbs are twice the size of the ones ive seen. one of the most beautiful flowers that you can literally watch grow.

[@Lady_A.R]

Wow! Gorgeous bulbs.❤️ I thought my bulbs were dying until now I see a new stem growing. 😁 LOL I will try once more to bloom them in this next coming winter. Thanks for the advice. 👍💯💕

[@marymurphy4825]

WOW!! Your glass containers and amaryllis are spectacular!! You have inspired me to grow an amaryllis bulb in water! I planted my very first large amaryllis bulb in a clay pot with soil after watching your tutorial video on growing amaryllis a few weeks ago. It is blooming beautifully! Thanks for sharing your passion and great information on growing amaryllis with us. I am now hooked and looking forward to starting my own collection. 😀 I especially love the double petal varieties you have grown!

[@MicheleLHarvey]

Precise and easy instructions Danielle, with beautiful results!

[@sandychristiansen1749]

I love the amaryllis in the water -- I've never done that before -- I think I will put one of mine in a glass container that has a bud but hasn't bloomed yet. I bought some cheap amaryllis at Walmart before Christmas and was totally amazed that one of them had 3 flower stalks -- what a happy bargain that was

[@gradyjones9678]

I've seen other KZbin videos about growing amaryllis hydroponically. To restart a dormant bulb and encourage new root growth (rather than planting the bulb in soil like I normally would. Starting the bulbs over water, then planting them in soil later would work too. Its brilliant !!

[@betsymaltby6788]

You are the Queen of all things Amaryllis! Thanks for the tips.

[@suziebe2488]

I keep mine year round thanks to your leadership on the topic! I leave mine planted in their pots, I'd love to see how to get an existing bulb ready for water. I feel bad about pulling them out of the pots and cutting the roots, although obviously it's a practice that can be done since that's how they come from the growers. I absorb your every word on Amaryllis, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@eyrerosecottage1970]

I had no idea you could put them outside in summer. Thank you for so much info!

Thanks again for the reminder on the process for amaryllis whether in water or soil. Increasing my bulb collection thanks to your channel. Separated my first baby bulb from Mama this year and so far so good, she's growing!! 🙃

[@jessicakurtz837]

I love the tip of using the activated charcoal! I bought the small bulbs at a big box store a couple years ago- before I discovered your channel. Do you know if over time these bulbs will get bigger - therefore storing more energy to produce a bloom? I'm only getting leaves this year.

Hi Danielle, thanks for the video. I loved your amaryllis and the vase you used.

[@jocelyncallahan8937]

Danielle, your videos are full of helpful information! What a gift to those of us who share your love of growing things! I was given 3 "Exotic Star' amaryllis bulbs that had been exposed to freezing temperatures. On 1 bulb, there is a soft spot, but mostly they seem okay. I have never grown them before. I plan to grow them over water per your instruction. Do you have any advice to add? They were left overs from this past season. The card says they will bloom in 2-3 weeks.

[@JazzLiz1]

Hi Danielle, I am also an Amaryllis enthusiast and my collection is growing. Thank you for sharing all you know about caring for them. I love your terra-cotta pots and I’ve been looking around for them. where do you get them?

[@Wngr60sfe]

Enjoy your videos! I’ve learned so much from you and have many amaryllis now. Last week I bought many amaryllis on clearance (left overs from Christmas) but the bulbs are “waxed” (a green or red coating over the bulb). Can you do a video on them or suggestions please. I’ll check your other videos from the past…maybe there already is a video. I hope I can save these bulbs.

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi friend! My understanding is that the wax can be peeled off and the bulb can be planting into potting soil.

[@Doris-y5v]

That is a beautiful glass container and the plant is just perfect !!! if we water them the container would turn mould and smelly since they are no holes ??

[@flowerbanzai]

Good information ! いいね！

[@elainehanan]

Is it possible for you to make a video explaining how to care for waxed amaryllis bulbs. Specifically how to prune them in the house. I bought a number of them in Costco and there’s absolutely no direction included as to where to cut them. I’ve been picking off the flowers as they die just below the little bulb thing, but sometimes the stock has several blooms so I never know what to do and when to cut the actual stalk down. I don’t have any other plants and I’m terrible with anything to do with gardening, but I love flowers, so this is the perfect thing to have in my home since it re-blooms and ends up being cheaper than buying cut flowers every week. So I’m hoping you will make a video with close-up explanation of when and where to cut as well as any other tips for waxed amaryllis. Thank you in advance.

[@Tfortesque]

Where do you source your bulbs from ?

[@deborahburgart561]

Hi Danielle! Great video! I purchased some Amaryllis bulbs a few days ago and set them in gravel and water like you explained here, but then I was reading that Amaryllis grown in water will probably not bloom again after the first year. The 'water roots' are not the same as roots grown in soil and the bulb does not bloom again. Is this true??

[@dorothyparsons1515]

Where do you buy the charcoal?

[@marionallen2222]

I’m absolutely hooked on Amaryllis now I just had my first one bloom it has like 9 white double flowers that smell amazing and are so beautiful … also have some others that are pink and red and more whites to come I hope … I love them so much! I can’t wait to go thru the entire process and see if I can get them to bloom again! Thanks SO much for all the info… I could not have done it with out you!!!! 💚💚💚🤍🤍🤍 🌺🌸💚🤍🪴🌿🌳🍀

[@lostfarmco]

Thank you for another very helpful video! Besides the aesthetics, are there any other differences between growing the amaryllis in water or soil or why you typically choose one method over the other?

[@alpinereid5265]

I have an Apple Blossom ( I think it's called :) ) Amaryllis that's been reblooming for 5 years now. I keep the plant indoors all year and place it in dormancy end of August. This year, it has created a pup ( well, actually it started last year). I'm not sure when the best time is to detach the pup to pot up. What would be your suggestion? Thanks so much for all you share, Danielle! I love your channel!

[@GuacamoleKun]

So when it's nearly done being dormant I can just take it out of the dry potting soil, clean it up, and bloom it in a vase again before putting it back in the pot for the rest of the year?

[@anncoats4466]

Danielle, thank you for a great video again. I tried the water soaking for 24 hrs and it worked. I live in Central KY and keep my house at 68 degrees. Do you recommend I put the growing bulbs close to a heat vent and in the west facing window? Heat vent is directly below the window. Or use a heating pad under them? I have 5 I am growing now. I love seeing Grace in your videos. The bloopers were so cute of her barking inside when you were outdoors in front of a door. So funny. Thanks.

I live just south of Atlanta in zone 8. Our house is on a concrete slab....so no basement. I do not have a place where it is 50 to 60 degrees to force the bulb to go dormant. So, how do I get the bulb to bloom again?

What was that huge pink/red variety by your head?!?! So beautiful! Love the charcoal idea, but I think I might try putting it in a little mesh bag to easily separate it from the rocks for next time!!

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi Gretchen! I think they would be a great candidate for winter sowing. They can also be directly sown into their permanent location 6 weeks before the last frost. I hope you have a great day!

[@mgaffamily1456]

May I ask your expertise, please? I accidently dropped the pot which contains the amaryllis, so the majority of its roots got broken from the bulb. I dipped the bottom of the bulb into very shallow water in a bowl for a week aleady and I changed water often. Will this be the quickest way to make the roots grow out again? Do I need to worry about the basal plate get rotten? Thanks a lot in advance!

[@pansyface00]

I just bought a bag of 5 hyacinths because I saw green coming up in each bulb. I put them in a clear glass vase with pebbles and a bit of water. They have no roots. Will they flower or do they need the period in darkness. If they do then I will have to plant them outside and forget trying to get them to bloom inside.

[@Melbak419]

I’m having an issue with newly planted bulbs. The roots might be too compacted and/or maybe the soil is too damp because I’ve had a couple rod on me and I pulled a bunch out and the roads aren’t looking white like they should be. I did soak the roots of some new bulbs that I bought in water according to the Cornell study but maybe the water line was too high? I’m thinking I should plant them in fairly dry soil until sprouts are seen. First timer trying to grow many Amaryllis. Any advise?

[@carolnora8860]

Danielle, I've been a serious gardener for over 40 years - and now FINALLY growing amaryllis for the first time, thanks to you for the inspiration! I've researched a bit... but wondering your thoughts on when to cut back the flower stem. Leave the stem and cut back spent blooms - or cut the entire stem?? I'm only growing four this year, but none are producing foliage - gorgeous blooms only. 😊

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi friend! I have read both schools of thought also. A large wholesaler supplier in South Africa recommends leaving the entire stock. However, most books seem to recommend removing the entire stock after flowering. I have always removed the entire stock.

[@carolnora8860]

@@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens Thank you! If there are no leaves growing, how will the bulb take in energy for a hopeful re-bloom next season?

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi friend! It should start producing leaves soon. Sometimes the leaves emerge with the bloom stalks and sometimes they don’t emerge until the bulb is done blooming. If it’s currently in bloom you can definitely expect to see leaves emerge in the next few weeks. It will produce more leaves as you fertilize it and even more leaves once its outside in summer.

How much sun do the Amaryllis need after they are done blooming and do you fertilise them? Do you use activated charcoal in flower arrangements too?

I also would love to know what brand of fertilizer you use? Thank you

[@pamd1861]

Thanks Danielle definitely trying to save and rebloom next year with your instructions but about leaves do I cut back at all? Because they're kind of dangling so I have to keep staked up. I did cut the dead flower stalks off, hope that was correct?

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Perfect Pam! I cut the flowering stock and leave all the leaves for winter, spring, and summer. Some of my leaves flop inside also. I tie them to a stake. They will grow stronger leaves once they transition outside in summer.

[@daisyjo5358]

Ok so what type of food do you feed them? Also when an how do you separate the pups off the mother’s? Also can you decide to do water an then soil different years? Or if water grown is how it has to be done every bloom season for that one ?

[@annkendall528]

I follow all of these instructions but my bulbs NEVER rebloom! I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong . Is it possible that I am not getting the bulb in a cool enough location during dormancy? ( I keep it in the garage and I live in Ohio. That is really the only cool place in my home) That is my only thought. I hate to pitch these beautiful bulbs but starting to feel like the efforts to get them to rebloom just aren't worth it for me. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanik you!

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi Laura! If an amaryllis is not reblooming it’s almost always because it was not able to store enough energy over the summer. Are you placing it into the garden all summer? Or leaving it in the pot? If leaving it in the pot try fertilizing at least once a month. I have noticed that mine planted directly in the garden need almost no attention and will always rebloom. However the ones I leave in pots do need the fertilizer and consistent watering to keep the soil moist. Without the consistent watering and fertilizer the ones in the pots do not always rebloom the next year. If you’re on instagram I can message you some pictures from books I have on reblooming and troubleshooting.
