Planting Amaryllis Bulbs // Garden Answer

[@toddbefield1100]

My elderly mom got one of these for a Christmas gift by mail...placed it indoors in indirect light and watered...5 weeks later...3 massive red flowers and another last flower just opening up...really cool plant to brighten up the winter!

[@JoyHanford]

My grandpa planted amaryllis indoors every year for the holidays. Red ones, always. Thanks for the reminder and bring back so many fond memories. I am headed to my garden center right now to buy a bulb or two and keep these treasured memories alive throughout the holiday season. Great series idea. Thanks again!

[@doniellestenson5231]

Buy them up when they go on sale after x-mas. I pot them up in one large communal pot, and put them in the sun outside. Water when they need it. The in mid august -zone 5 lay the pot on its side and let the foliage yellow and the chlorophyll feed the bulb. Cut off any dry foliage before you bring them in before the september frost. Then late oct or by nov. 1st . Top dress with a good light potting soil and light water until growth begins . I love saving the orphans that would likewise get tossed. Ive paid as little as 99 cents per bulb. Your videos are excellent.

[@danjanharris9089]

You inspired me to make Amaryllis party favors for my mom’s 83rd birthday! First time to try these.

[@cathywilt9325]

For years now I’ve gifted amaryllis for family members at Christmas. This year I bought the ones dipped in wax. You don’t have to do ANYTHING other than watch them grow and bloom. They brighten drab winter days! BTW-I loved the video!

[@catherinerobinson5766]

I want to pot up amaryllis and Ship to my family for Christmas gifts. Any suggestions for successfully planting and packing/shipping?

[@JudyG53]

It's October 2020 and I came back to watch this again. It was so wonderful to see Dexter again. Love

[@jerrywhite3095]

How long does the blooms normally lasts? My wife received a bulb for a Christmas present. I prepared it and it bloomed this week with 8 blooms of red and white stripes from 2 stalks. Simply beautiful! So, now I am committed to Amaryllst along with my Cannas. Wow, I need a green house now.

[@lolacookie453]

Ooh those flowers are lovely...may have to order some this year! Thanks for not shooing Dexter off the table, hate when people do that, he's too cute!

[@wandasinger7713]

Your videos was very informative Thank you. I’m going to plant some. I live in Northern CA it doesn’t get very cold. Can I put them on my covered patio and not have to replant them each year? Blessings

[@kathynorris2371]

[@dianebernardini9338]

Hi Laura and Aaron, I just purchased a Red Lion Amaryllis. It can with a pot with no holes and soil disk. Should I punch holes in the pot for drainage? Love your videos❤ Love watching Benjamin growing up and following in your footsteps with your love of gardening. Can't wait for Baby Girl to arrive.

Wow... love those clear vases w rocks. where can I get those please?!

[@carolfisch9750]

I have had an amaryllis for 3 years which has rebloomed each year. I never fertilized it, should I do that? If yes, when do I fertilize it? When I am taking it out of dormancy and changing a bit of the top soil? What kind of fertilizer?

[@plantinstincts2132]

It's that time of the year, excited to get mine planted!

[@christinaongyt]

Thank you! I'm going to get myself some amaryllis, and some Dexter lovin'!

How deep is that bigger pot? 5 inches? I will be potting 3 large pots with 3 amaryllis plants each. What size, depth and width, do you recommend?

[@ladykfirst]

How will the winter temps affect these plants if they’re on your window sill

[@GreenLadyDV]

What a love bug!!!! 💚💚💚

[@mccc4559]

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.

[@n.w.414]

[@ljiljanagrujic6480]

Interesuje me kada se Amarilis priprema za cvetanje i kada on cveta. Kod nas je zima i on je u kući, da li treba sada da ga presadim i odsečem listove da bi pustio cvet. Hvala puno, veliki pozdrav 😀👍🇲🇪❤️🙋‍♀️🌹lepa maca 🤗🐈

Tips on how to get my bulbs to rebloom.

[@jasonlamountain2269]

Question - should the pot have drain holes?

[@manalacvictor6344]

thank. yes, i will keep in mind not to put more soil than needed to keep it off the top of the bulb. thank you.

[@mikeymouse1985]

so I bought a couple amaryllis bulns in Jan a little after Christmas I planted them in some miracle grow potting soil and both my bulbs have not produced any roots I fact they are starting to try out the soil is moist not too wet nor dry but there is fungus or some kind of fuzzy white hairs growing out the bottom where the roots should be so how do I make the bulb grow roots or how do I keep the bulb from rotting

[@victorgomes7585]

mikeymouse1985 make sure your potting mix does not have water retaining crystals. Cause it promotes mould and rotting.

[@tomjones2157]

Regular potting mix can get too wet. Next time try orchid potting mix with some extra perlite mixed in for drainage. Also terracotta pots allow the plant to breathe and not get mouldy.

[@ajlcardslimited]

Should I feed my Amaryllis? The bulbs are 2 years old. Thank you 😊

[@Cali_Mom_Budgets]

I planted my amaryllis about a week and a half ago and only watered it the one time when I watered it in. the bloom stalks are about 1 1/2 inches tall already so how often should I be watering them now? and do they ever need fertilizer? if so what type and how often? is bloom booster ok?

[@rhondabaroli2683]

Taurus gives up sometime and let's it go .life is a choice .

[@violetsareblue49]

Laura, love your videos. So when I went to plant some bulbs in water, I looked at your website first, but I didn't find any. Can you help me? Thanks and keep up the videos....please. :)

[@melanierust7129]

One of my stalks had 6 flowers! I'd post a pic if I could. It was amazing. 💕 so far it has had 2 stalks so i wonder if it's a big or small bulb. Has anyone else experienced 6 on one stalk bloomed together?

[@EHFAR87]

One of mine right now has 7! So it’s possible! Mine are under grow lights indoors. They are beautiful and smell amazing!

[@wyndiefeatherstone948]

I have a lot of bulbs, however I need to plant them in a bed that has the black weed preventer plastic down. My question is, will this cause harm to my plants? I have spent hundreds of dollars to buy these huge bulbs and I do not want to kill them! If anyone knows I would appreciate your input!

[@vahneb7260]

Ok now I have to try this. Where can I get these bulbs? Are these plants safe for cats and dogs. I have a cat that nibbles on my plants.

[@gardenanswer]

These are poisonous, so keep them well out of your kitty's reach! :)

[@helenmacaskill741]

What have we done wrong when masses of leaves come up and no blooms.

[@lorraineespinoza593]

Just bought my Amaryllis getting ready to plant it. just would like to know how often do I water it? 🌺🌺

[@n.w.414]

Lorraine Espinoza she said lightly at first til it starts to grow then maybe once a week. Just watch the soil and water when top inch or so is dry.

[@doniellestenson3502]

How do you get a 24 to the size of a 34? I've had mine for years they remain 24 producing one stalk per bulb.

[@miriammaggi8738]

Hi, can you tell me where can I get the Black Pearl bulbs?

[@milescesarbagood5438]

the amaryllis is so beautiful I have that pink and orange😁😄

[@heejiniable]

I have a amaryllis bulb from 4 years ago that I am having issues getting it to re-bloom. The first year it bloomed beautifully, but the following years all it does is grow green "healthy" looking leaves with no blooms and eventually die out and go dormant. Any suggestions? I have tried setting the pot it is in to various light settings full sun/partial sun/and even little to no sun. But the results were pretty much the same for the past few years. Thanks in advance for the help!

[@jozigirl7114]

heejiniable Hi there. I started off with 1 bulb about 6yrs ago and now have about 15! I have found that the best way to get a bulb to bloom again and again, is to mess with it as little as possible. I don't yank mine out of the soil at the end of the season as it really stresses the bulb. I let the bulbs naturalise so they bloom in spring rather than in winter time. I don't cut the leaves unless they are yellow or damaged. I don't really do the whole dormancy thing unless my bulb needs to be repotted. I feed with a seaweed based liquid fertiliser in spring and summer, and make sure they get a drink every second day during the growing season. Drainage is really important as is sunshine.

[@arabella236]

I will try that.thank you fir your tips so beautiful flowers🌹🌻💖🌞

[@shampasham1]

Pls advise my amaryllis bulb looks like rotting in the soil

[@myhermitcrabsforever]

There's a website that sells waxed "easy care" amaryllis bulbs. how does that work? how do the bulbs griw roots if they're decoratively waxed and how do you water them?

[@jozigirl7114]

Desireé B the bulb puts out a flower with the energy it has left in the bulb, and then dies. Horrible practice
