Excellent video! I have been growing them for 30 years and through experience, learned their growing habits as you described. I started with just one (Apple Blossom) and grew the rest from seed after pollinating them. Rather than starting them in water, I sowed the seeds like grass seed. The resulting pot looked like a lawn with 100s (1000s?) of leaf blades! I was so pleased to see you plant some of your bulbs in a long plastic container (I LOVED the idea of putting kindling at the bottom of the container rather than stones--I'm going to start doing that, too!). I've been growing my bulbs like that for many years (in addition to standard pots). I learned one thing about growing them in those long containers: Plant the bulb so that when the straps grow, they grow against one another to give one another support versus having the straps grow outward overflowing the pot sides. It also makes for a neater-looking container. I'm glad I found your site. I've subscribed and I look forward to more of your videos! Thanks from Mike in Washington, DC, 1/5/2024.

This is the best video on Amaryllis’s I’ve seen!

I cleaned out my local Walmart today! They are so beautiful.

Good video! I want to share a tip with you I learned from growing orchids. (They are notorious for needing staking.) Save the larger pieces of styrofoam you get in packages. Cut a piece to fit the bottom of the pot. It will help with drainage and helps hold the stakes upright when you poke them down into it.

I am a newbie on growing Amaryllis. It was my mother-in-law's hobby. When she passed away Jun last year, my sister-in-law gave all her amaryllis to me. I have been struggling on how to keep them alive. I have been praying, and finally found this awesome video!!! Thank you so much. You are awesome. I am liking and subscribed!!!

This is the best video on Amaryllis I’ve seen yet. Very informative, and great detail. Since my knowledge only extends to tropical plants, I NOW feel confident in trying my hand at growing Amaryllis. Thank you so much!!❤

I just purchased 6 pots of amaryllis from Walmart after Christmas for $1.25 each. I was thrilled to find them. I always bought new ones every year, but now because of your wonderful detailed instructions I know I can have my beautiful flowers twice a year for many years. I live in Idaho & when I moved into this house there were iris & day lily plants that they left in the garden year round even though the snow. They come back every year!! I can't believe they lived through the freezing temperatures. After seeing this video I will give them some extra love this year. I did fertilize them in the spring, but they were never even cut back when done flowering. I've been reading up on care for them to continue they're growth, but your video was the best!! Thank you for showing us how to get the most for our money & beautiful flowers for years to come

THANK YOU SO MUCH. DURING WINTER MONTHS IN MICHIGAN THEY ARE SUCH A SOURCE OF HAPPINESS TO ME.

I’m deeply grateful for the best video I’ve seen in YouTube. An amazing explanation for the whole process planting Amaryllis flowers. Few months ago I received one pot of amaryllis that I didn’t know how to care for them. Thanks so much.

Thank you for this video. I couldn't get mine to bloom, now I know why, lol! My mother was very successful with amerylus, but instead of fertilizing with "store bought" she would use her leftover dishwater. After the water was cooled down, she would water all her plants(she had many) with a little bit of that water. The leftover soap would keep spider mites and gnats from getting into the soil. The small particles of food in the water would fertilize the plant. She always had beautiful house plants!

you are very informative. What about waterless amaryllis bulbs? Saw them in grocery store today. Would make a good gift for elderly friend

[AngelaR]

I have never seen anyone that grew so many are marilla amaryllis! They are gorgeous and I cannot wait to see the results 😊 I have learned so much about thisplant and it is one of my very favorite thank you so much for teaching us. when my mother was alive it was one of her favorite as well.

[helensmith]

Great video! I have one bulb & now I know what to do with it. Thanks & keep up the good information we need. 17:10

[NatalyaBerezneva]

You are a greatest teacher I found on this subject. Thank you so much for sharing!

[chenderson]

Thank you for the information. A friend helped me once when I mispronounced more than one amaryllis. When speaking of one, or many, amaryllis is always amaryllis.

[sueshannon]

Thank you so much for sharing your know-how and putting together such a great video! I appreciate your time, effort and experience! I'm only trying to salvage one Amaryllis bulb I received as a gift several years ago but now I'm inspired to keep an eye out for the discounted bulbs and try growing a bundle of them :)

[darlafrazier]

Thank you. My son bought 5 amaryllis bulbs around Christmas time, and this plant was something new to me. I live in Illinois, so these will be inside flowers. Thanks again.

[SparrowSunshineGardener]

You have a nice collection of Hippeastrums. You care for them well. Very good information!

[eileenspadavecchia]

Thank you, this video is very informative and you have a pleasant speaking voice too! Happy planting
