I potted up five giant amaryllis bulbs today November 1st. Last year , I potted them on November 9th and got the first bloom on Christmas Day. Hopefully I will have several blooming this Christmas.

Can't wait to see your blooms! Received my first one last year, stored it in a dark closet and tried to get it to bloom about 2 months ago and all I got were pretty leaves. It is back in the closet and am not sure if there is enough time to try again before Christmas. They are such beautiful plants. Any ideas on how to get them to bloom? Thought I did it right but guess not. ~Barbara Last edited by barbarasherbbasket on November 1st at 11:13 PM. |

The blossom stalks come first, after they stop blooming the leaves develop. If the leaves develop first, they wont bloom this season. Let the new bulb develop, cut the tops off and store it in the refrigerator for three are four months and re-pot it. Don't store it with apples. They will make it un-bloomable. Bill Mitchell |

I, too, remember how gorgeous they were last year. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for success again this year. |

These bulbs are new. I have the older bulbs drying and I will store them in the fridge until late winter or early spring. I got these from bloomingbulb, a company in Michigan. Bill Mitchell |
