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!
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!
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.
Loved the video Laura! I'm a huge fan of your channel, it's so inspiring for me. Since I moved into my own home gardening has become my second biggest hobby (after baking). I binge watch your videos all the time and when I see you've uploaded a new video, I know it's going to be a good day! keep up the good work :-)
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!
hi! Laura I love your videos.they sooo nice. I love aged look on a terracotta pot.its even amazing when it is surrounded by moss. I would be glad if you could do a video on planting gladiolus. thanking you Sheetal..
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.
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
Hi thanks for sharing yr great videos but I just wanted to know does it bloom only once even if you live on a tropical island in d Caribbean? Thanks be safe
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. Blessings to you and All of your family during this Holiday Season. ❤❤
I hope just one thing . Can you share more video about amaryllis flower ? . I really love this kind of plant , but in my country it is so hard to get one collection about them .
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?
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. :)
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?
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 🤗🐈
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.
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
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.

I hope just one thing . Can you share more video about amaryllis flower ? . I really love this kind of plant , but in my country it is so hard to get one collection about them .
Can I keep them in a cold greenhouse over the winter? How cold hardy are they?
Tips on how to get my bulbs to rebloom.
Which place is the best to keep Amarallys ? In the shed or in the sun ?
great video 👍👍👍
็I'm a big fan of Amaryllis, your channel and Dexter ^^
I wonder if you could show how to make an Amaryllis fairy garden.
I so love you for informing us on great ideas!
I love your cat
Thanks for the information, now I know how to plant them inside, here in SC we just plant them in the ground, LOVE THEM.
I wish I could plant them in the ground here!!! I would love that! :)
i need this flowers
Question - should the pot have drain holes?
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?
THANK YOU!! GREAT!!! LOVE IT
Is it ok to grow Amaryllis under regular light like in the kitchen, Thank you
Thanks for the reminder! I need to do this asap. :D
How long the blooming will last? I live in Montreal (Canada) which is a zone 5A. I will keep it inside the house.
love you videos! you should really try out some carnivorous plants and make a video about them.
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.
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?
How long do the blooms last?
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. :)
i dont have any of this plants but i have to buy some
My Amaryllis plants have too many leaves and no flowers.... They aren't even showing any signs of a flower stalk what could be the reason for this?
Funny I actually took my own couple weeks ago not even realizing it's time. Lol nice vid thanks
This is a great video. I do have a different question though do you have a peace lily and what's the best way to care for them?
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?
What have we done wrong when masses of leaves come up and no blooms.
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 🤗🐈
Finally good info... Thank you, and Happy Christmas!
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.
These are poisonous, so keep them well out of your kitty's reach! :)
Where do you order the amaryllis bulbs from. Jumbo
hello 😊 is it ok to use orchid potting mix? thank you
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!!

Mc Cc lol, I hope you are still alive!
Just bought my Amaryllis getting ready to plant it. just would like to know how often do I water it? 🌺🌺
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.
Where do you buy bulbs from?
How to store them after bloom is over I live in zone 11-12 in India
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
mikeymouse1985 make sure your potting mix does not have water retaining crystals. Cause it promotes mould and rotting.
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.
Taurus gives up sometime and let's it go .life is a choice .
I like it how much you buy them
Should I feed my Amaryllis? The bulbs are 2 years old. Thank you 😊
Hi, can you tell me where can I get the Black Pearl bulbs?
How do i care for mums during fall and winter in the southeast of USA? Please help! Thanks.
