I pollinated an amaryllis and grew the seeds, it's 15 years old now, still blooming and lives constantly on one south facing window sill in zone 7. She always blooms for me and is producing a second bulb now.☺️
Man thats dedication 👏. Sadly I can't even reuse my old bulbs. The whole logistic to get them to bloom when I have limited space is to much hassle, especially when I can order them so easily from the Netherlands each year. But honestly it always feels like a defeat to throw the bulb out.
I fell in love with these when I packed bulbs for a major bulb producer decades ago. I sent them to my mom & sisters for years. My daughter was little at the time & though she's grown now, she STILL calls them "grandma-ryllis" 😆 I'm in N. Georgia & let mine be outside in their pots through the summer. This year, I let one stalk go to seed & now have tiny babies growing! They're just one little leaf, will probably take forever to reach bloom size but, what the heck, why not?? Brought mine in before it got too cold, I don't care when they bloom either, always welcome blooms whenever they appear!
Hi I have an amarilla bulb growing here on the costa blanca, spain. This year it had 17 flowers. Each year I get more and more flowers. It has been outside in the sandy soil for the past 5 years.
Thank you for the inspiration! I hesitated to try planting these this winter but after this video I want to lol amongst a thousand bulbs I want to still put into the ground ... first year of gardening and becoming a plant hoarder lol 😅
Laura, it was so sweet to see you doing your projects in bare feet and slippers. You're so down-to'earth and unpretentious. Thank you for always keeping it real. You inspire me to follow your example without making me feel bad about myself because I can't replicate the flair and scale of what you do. You brighten my life.
Mine are planted in the garden and they bloom in the spring. But I did have one bloom this in July. Very unusual here in zone 7. I do plant them up to the almost top of the bulb. I have had these bulbs for over thirty years. If I move they come with me. I have moved over the years at least eight times. My dad gave me the start of them he lived at the time in Florida. My bulbs have been in Florida, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina. Have done well in all of these locations.
What part of Texas? I'm in Houston and they were doing soo well until I realized my neighbor's sprinklers were watering them. Now they're rotten and I had 2 really big ones, multiple stalks and blooms in the Spring, but yes, I dig things up to move with me. My husband things it's funny.
@@waldemarcomas5149 i separated mine in the fall and I watered them down and praying i didn’t kill them i planted some in pot and the others back in the ground keep you fingers crossed 🤞 and praying for all i love ❤️ them
Surprisingly I found the exact amaryllis your planting a few days ago, and obviously picked up a couple. Turns out they must not look at their stock very often because I got 2 that had stalks at least 7 or 8 in tall! And they were all bent over in the box, one being almost 90degrees! I was so concerned I had to buy them and take them home. It's been 3 days and thankfully theh have pretty much fully straightened up. 1 of them actually has 2 bloom stalks and the other possibly was producing a second bulb (pointed downward, but already had a leaf, I generally separated and planted it next to mother considering I didnt think it would do well being planted under the soil) you can already see the reds of the bloom coming in. I talk to them, rub their leaves, and encourage them a couple times a day. I feel like it helps putting out the positive energy for them to grow strong and amazing.
I have one. My husband gave it to me last December bloomed. It was so beautiful. I planted it and it has 6 large leaves. I live west coast Cali. I am going to put it in the garage and force it to bloom.
I just love a amaryllis. I am fortunate enough to have all mine grow in my yard( in Louisiana) and every spring I have a magnificent show of flowers. Years ago I started with a few and now I have to many to count cause they just keep spreading. It’s never gotten so cold here that I’ve lost any! If it gets in the teens I just cover them with cloth for the duration of the freeze! My favorite flowers in the spring!
I was searching how to force amaryllis bulbs and discovered your channel! Thank you for your valuable insight, super helpful and best instructions by far! I’m an avid gardener living in Solano County Ca, my property is only 3400 square feet with front and backyard, although rewarding, takes hard work. I can only imagine how much work to manage a property as large as yours. The wonderful thing about plants, is they give so much back ❤
Can't wait to see them bloom. I have an amaryllis outside that I replanted from my mother's yard after she died and it blooms in the spring. It's beautiful red and white striped blooms 😍
Zone 6 here (southern Illinois). Planted mine outside in a kinda protected area two years ago. They survived last winter and bloomed beautifully this late spring.
Laura, you have mentioned that your bulbs bloomed in the summer. When they are planted outside they usually bloom in May-June. That is their bloom time in nature. If you want to grow them outside it is posible in colder climates. Next year you can plant your plants from pots in ground after the last hard frost, and treat them like every other plant. In autumn you need to wait frost to kill amaryllis leaves, and then you dig them up, cut the roots and store them somewhere where the temperature is 10C (50F). And then you just wait spring to plant bulbs in ground normal. Just plant them like every other bulb (the top of the bulb 4-5 inches deeper than ground level). And then same process in autumn with digging them up. Bulbs can tolerate temp down to -6C (20F), some varieties can tolerate temps down to -12C (10F). So you can plant them earlier in the spring when it is safe. They grow better when they are planted outside than in pots.
I live in South Africa and amaryllis bloom for us in spring and summer, which we have now, so I did find it strange that you are having them bloom in winter.
@@adrisutherland837 In Europe and North America growers and nurseries put plants in some kind of forced dormacy, and then the plants blooms indors around Christmas. It is just nice way of putting some colour indoor when we have cold outdoor.
@@adrisutherland837 The seasons are reversed on the Northern half and Southern half of the earth. We visited South Africa in November (from Pennsylvania) and loved that it was warm there instead of cold like at home., and all the flowers were blooming.
Here in Sydney (zone 11) I saw these bloom in spring, and some people keep the bulbs in the fridge till mid November and then they will bloom at Christmas which is the peak of our summer. So it has always been a "summer/festival" flower as I remembered....So it's quite amazing to see that they actually grow over Christmas over the world!!!!
I find it helpful to know that even “seasoned gardeners” get off schedule and that things can still be done, even when you run late. I like that you give us what to expect, if we are later in doing things, because the plants may behave differently, if they are in a different stage of their life (kinda like people, when they are in different stages of life!)! Thanks so much!
This was a wonderful video and very helpful! The only thing missing was that handsome assistant Russell. I guess he had something else to do today. By the way Laura you are doing a fantastic job, but we will be here for you when you need to cut back on your vids. Lots of love to you and your family! Hugs from NE Ohio. 🤗
You ma'am have inspired me so much this last year. I found amaryllis bulbs at lowes, so yes I purchased one. Yes just one. It was the Minerva variety. I got it planted in the coco shredd they provided and 3 small leave and 1 12 inch flower stalk later. I'm so excited to see it bloom. Thank you for all your inspiration in this crazy crazy year. ❤⚘❤
I live in southern Brazil and now since we’re in the end of Spring my Amarilys already bloomed in early Spring. They are annuals here and are amazing. 💖
I can't wait to see these in bloom. I'm in zone 9 so I plant them out in my plant beds. Some I get 2 or 3 times of blooms a year. My area gets a lot of rain through the summer so I plant them in mound beds to help keep them from sitting in water so the bulbs don't rotten.
I grandmother always had amaryllis around the house at christmas time but we have a young cat that loves to garden with our indoor plants so I've given up having anything in the house with him around . thanks for the video.
I have a young cat too. He is very demanding but good company and a lot of fun. I have set up some grow lights for wintering over my potted herbs but have to keep them in a back bedroom with the door closed away from the little ginger terror.
My daughter moved home & brought her 3 yo cat (I'm allergic to cats) Aside from my allergies, he's chewing on my succulents & I've caught him laying in my pothos plant!
Beautiful! This year I thought I was super late and planted 2 bulbs but I soaked the roots for 3 days (Didn’t mean to soak for so long but life got in the way) and then planted them just a day before thanksgiving and they were about 2 1/2 feet tall and bloomed just before Christmas! I was shocked how fast they grew!
I love it with the moss. I hope you put the pine cones in. I used gravel this time. Actually did everything wrong with them. They are resting now. Lol we’ll see if they grow.
This is my first year planting amaryllis and it's because of watching your video last year. I tried ordering from Color Blends but 2 weeks ago they were sold out! lol I'll try earlier next year. So I ordered from Gardner's Supply and on a whim picked up some paper whites and a pretty red (can't remember the name) from a big box store. I planted them all up in my terra cotta that was languishing in an old shed and now they are taking up my valuable counter top work space in my kitchen. Well worth it! Seriously Laura, because of watching your videos I've had house plants for a year now and they are all still alive! Lemon Cypress, pathos, Christmas cactus (love the leaves even without the blooms), aloe vera, an assortment of succulents, and even an ORCHID! Which is going super strong though I admit I have no idea what I'm doing right to make it grow so profusely and bloom so happily! I'm looking forward to expanding in to my yard this spring and trying my hand at bigger plants. lol Thanks for sharing your journey and giving so much encouragement through your videos, you're awesome.
This video came at the perfect time! I have 3 amaryllis bulbs I bought from White Flower Farms that I'm going to plant up for Christmas presents! I wish I'd bought one for myself!
I bet you get a nice long sturdy table in your new studio space! I felt so bad that you had to bend over so much lugging all those plants down stairs. 💕
I love flowers growing in my home in January and February - especially Hyacinths with all their beautiful scent. Thanks Laura for always taking us through the Amaryllis process. It has a strange way of seeming daunting yet it's so much easier than Pointsettas. Loved the update on last year's waxed Amaryllis and would love to see where you tuck these plants into your garden in spring. 🌷🌷🌷
Thanks! My wife received one of these for XMAS a month ago. Gave it a shot of water and placed it in the Sunroom. Wow, it is really growing now. Great video and very helpful!
I just planted my waxed amaryllis watching your video.. u are the best ! MashaAllah.❤️ i make my breakfast switch to your channel and watch your morning video... gives me motivation 👌. God bless you
Looking forward to seeing the beautiful planter all a bloom on your kitchen island. The upside down one...meh...is my initial reaction, but I’ll wait and see. Might be surprised. ❤️🎄
Fabulous! Was really looking forward to this one and so pleased to see how well last year’s bulbs have done. The new pot is just beautiful, especially top dressed with the moss. Thanks so much, Laura
Since discovering your videos I have been binge watching them (I have been gardening for about 60 years and truly believe we can always learn something new). I have enjoyed every video you have made, so to cover all of them....THANK YOU.
Super helpful, thank you so much for this video Laura! Your videos are just like a sunshine in a dark times :) I am very grateful for it. Best wishes to you and your family from Lithuanian living in Sweden :)
So glad your being comfortable and taking it easy! Thank you for doing this video, time to plant up this year’s amaryllis and get last year’s ready also.
That container is going to look so beautiful when they are all in flower :) I also recently bought three bulbs and want to pot them up in one container like that :) Thanks for the video! Corbin
I never knew you could keep Amaryllis for years. Thank you for your incredibly real, sweet, informative videos on all things gardening. Your eyes are full of kindness! Merry Christmas and stay safe!
You are a sweetheart! I have three amaryllis bulbs on my basement steps waiting to come upstairs. I put them outside for a few weeks in the summer and brought them in early September. Excited to see what happens!
We live in zone 8 in North Carolina along the Atlantic coast. My mother planted more than 15 to 20 Amarylis in her walled garden. She had them bloom always in summer for over 10 years. She never fussed with them except to add mulch around them, water and once a year feeding. They always came up....absolutely beautiful.
Hi Laura great it's that time of year again to plant a beautiful plant. So good to see yours in in a beautiful pot. They will look so beautiful when they bloom. I have a white one from last year and it's doing really good l am happy it's come back again. And l am so going to get some more after watching you today.
Those amaryllises are in such gorgeous pots. I'm so bad at getting pots for my houseplants and have plastic green pots everywhere haha. You're looking so bright today, I hope you feel that way too. I'd love a basement tour- I wonder what plant goodies are down there. Such a lovely video- sending you love from UO.
Thank you so much for this vid!! New subscriber, I found you randomly while researching how to remove weeds from the gravel driveway at our country home. 😂 I'm super excited about those hangers -- we live in a city in an apartment where space is at a premium and that means vertical decorations are so welcome!!
I found amaryllis do so well in my conservatory living in East of England so or winter is cold but has been very mild the last few years. I've let my be and they do flower in May so treat them has a spring bulb.
I have been waiting on this video. 😂💁🏼♀️ I’m happy I did it right just by winging it and instructions from your past videos on Amaryllis. lol 😂 can’t wait for them to bloom. Thanks again for all your tips!!
Thank you for this! I got to check my Amaralis to see how I planted it. Laura, your schedule is not off, you are not the only one....and I am not even pregnant😂. Hugs🤗❤🌺. P.s. love the slippers and your vest😘
Yay! I just binged all the amaryllis videos 💜 because I planted my very first one last week! Super excited to have my own living example to follow along! And my 6 year old is too - he'll be measuring the growth each week. 🌱 He'll be excited to watch this!
that is so amazing the amount you put in there. i can't wait to see the results. You must show an up-to-date video when it is in full bloom. wow. And comfort is everything. glad you enjoyed your day
I'm so excited to see the blooms from this container. What a beautiful container as well. Thanks for this inspirational video, I just may attempt this this year, God knows we all deserve some cheerful things to look forward to...
Oh hmmm I want to see more garden tours. I find your garden tours videos very relaxing and some relaxing and sometimes I just kept it playing in the background. Do you plan to make more garden tours this year?
I moved to a house that had 20 bulbs. First experience with these flowers. And I'm about to get my first 2 flowers ever! I'm so excited to start my journey.
THANK YOU FOR THIS HOW TO VIDEO!!! I’ve been waiting for you to tell us... IT’S TIME!!! I was very late last year...BUT SO LOVED AND NEEDED THOSE WINTER BLOOMS! Perfect timing for me! Appreciate you and and this network of garden loving people! Blessings to all... Sherry Knoxville
I have one that is about 30 cm Diameter, it is a beautiful bright red. I have about 5 pups in the same pot, it is spring here. :) love my hippeastrum/amaryllis, she has almost a meter flower stalk.
How exciting to see this video as it's been a topic of conversation in the Groupies group and just got my Gardeners Supply catalog today and saw those hanging ones.. Can't wait to see everyone's grow..
I pollinated an amaryllis and grew the seeds, it's 15 years old now, still blooming and lives constantly on one south facing window sill in zone 7. She always blooms for me and is producing a second bulb now.☺️
Do you give them dormancy period?
Wow! How long did it take seed to be a full grown plant?
Man thats dedication 👏. Sadly I can't even reuse my old bulbs. The whole logistic to get them to bloom when I have limited space is to much hassle, especially when I can order them so easily from the Netherlands each year. But honestly it always feels like a defeat to throw the bulb out.
@@Mondoshawn Shoot, throw them my way! I’ll take them!
Aweeee I hope my new Amaryllis will live as long as possible.

Fun, fun , fun! I actually like the bulb ornament!
I never knew you could keep Amaryllis for years. Thank you for your incredibly real, sweet, informative videos on all things gardening. Your eyes are full of kindness! Merry Christmas and stay safe!
@Jeanne...read one of the comments...commenter has had hers for over 30years! Esp as she moved from state-to-state...
Inspired me to get mine planted today with our 50 degree temps in Minneapolis! Thanks for sharing
You are a sweetheart! I have three amaryllis bulbs on my basement steps waiting to come upstairs. I put them outside for a few weeks in the summer and brought them in early September. Excited to see what happens!
One of the first videos of yours that I watched was on amaryllis care. This comes at the perfect time to remind me to get mine out of the basement!
I knew Laura was going to get that 6th bulb in there ! That's her way - love it !!!
We live in zone 8 in North Carolina along the Atlantic coast. My mother planted more than 15 to 20 Amarylis in her walled garden. She had them bloom always in summer for over 10 years. She never fussed with them except to add mulch around them, water and once a year feeding. They always came up....absolutely beautiful.
Hi Laura great it's that time of year again to plant a beautiful plant. So good to see yours in in a beautiful pot. They will look so beautiful when they bloom. I have a white one from last year and it's doing really good l am happy it's come back again. And l am so going to get some more after watching you today.
Heading out today to get some!
Absolutely love that you did this in slippers and love the shirt by the way!
They’re pretty, even before the flowers!
Pls show us how bright the spot is on your kitchen island
I have fallen in love with Amaryllis! I tried to force some into dormancy; 1 is already budding! Thanks for bringing so much beauty to us!
They're going to be gorgeous! I'm so glad they grow and winter over outdoors here. I don't own enough pots to bring all of mine in! lol
Can’t wait to see these in bloom! FYI- I am a newbie gardener. I would love to have you do a video on how to grow potted plants into topiaries.
Those amaryllises are in such gorgeous pots. I'm so bad at getting pots for my houseplants and have plastic green pots everywhere haha. You're looking so bright today, I hope you feel that way too. I'd love a basement tour- I wonder what plant goodies are down there. Such a lovely video- sending you love from UO.
Loved the video! Thanks...... Yes indeed confort is very important
Thank you so much for this vid!! New subscriber, I found you randomly while researching how to remove weeds from the gravel driveway at our country home. 😂 I'm super excited about those hangers -- we live in a city in an apartment where space is at a premium and that means vertical decorations are so welcome!!
I love that you are wearing your “house shoes”.
So glad to see this video, was surprise to see the wax coated survived!
I found amaryllis do so well in my conservatory living in East of England so or winter is cold but has been very mild the last few years. I've let my be and they do flower in May so treat them has a spring bulb.
The moss was beautiful!!!!
When they bloom there going to be beautiful ❤️
I have been waiting on this video. 😂💁🏼♀️ I’m happy I did it right just by winging it and instructions from your past videos on Amaryllis. lol 😂 can’t wait for them to bloom. Thanks again for all your tips!!
Thank you for this! I got to check my Amaralis to see how I planted it.
Laura, your schedule is not off, you are not the only one....and I am not even pregnant😂.
Hugs🤗❤🌺.
P.s. love the slippers and your vest😘
Yay! I just binged all the amaryllis videos 💜 because I planted my very first one last week! Super excited to have my own living example to follow along! And my 6 year old is too - he'll be measuring the growth each week. 🌱 He'll be excited to watch this!
that is so amazing the amount you put in there. i can't wait to see the results. You must show an up-to-date video when it is in full bloom. wow.
And comfort is everything. glad you enjoyed your day
Hi Laura! Beautiful video and such useful information about amaryllis! Fun to see the italian flag colors in wax amaryllis!! Greetings from Milan!
It is so...beautiful of the snow wax upside down, they are sooocute Amaryllis wax.
I'm so excited to see the blooms from this container. What a beautiful container as well. Thanks for this inspirational video, I just may attempt this this year, God knows we all deserve some cheerful things to look forward to...
Wonderful demonstration. Going to shop today for bulbs. I love the look of the pot with the moss. Thank you for sharing your beautiful ideas
Hi Laura! Those will be beautiful when they bloom. I'm looking forward to the update next year. Thank you so much for sharing all of the information!
Oh hmmm I want to see more garden tours. I find your garden tours videos very relaxing and some relaxing and sometimes I just kept it playing in the background. Do you plan to make more garden tours this year?
So pretty! Can’t wait to see the blooms. Does anyone else think it looks like a perfect fairy garden waiting to happen?😃
That pot is perfect 👌
Perfect timing! I dug up my amaryllis that I had planted in my yard(zone 7b) and wanted to have them bloom inside this year.

Love moss so much, awesome display
Can’t wait for the blooms; they will look beautiful🌸🌸
I moved to a house that had 20 bulbs. First experience with these flowers. And I'm about to get my first 2 flowers ever! I'm so excited to start my journey.

Sherry Whitaker when I watched her video last year I put a reminder on my iPad calendar and on my kitchen calendar for early October. Helped a lot. ❤️
Thanks for sharing these important tips. I do not have a green thumb as you do, but, watching you is encouraging. More power to you!
I have one that is about 30 cm Diameter, it is a beautiful bright red. I have about 5 pups in the same pot, it is spring here. :) love my hippeastrum/amaryllis, she has almost a meter flower stalk.
They will be Beautiful !! Glad you are taking things a little easier. Take care of yourself.
How exciting to see this video as it's been a topic of conversation in the Groupies group and just got my Gardeners Supply catalog today and saw those hanging ones.. Can't wait to see everyone's grow..
That is going to be stunning. Can't wait to see it in full bloom. ❤️
In new to bulb planting but it looks easy. Would live to have a sunroom like you. Thanks for all the info. You inspire me!
