Amaryllis Dormancy 🥶 - Get them to 🌸 rebloom 🌸

Looking to get your amaryllis to rebloom? I provide two methods for you to get those blooms! Here I am preparing them for winter where they will chill for 4 to 12 weeks. The longer you wait, the more likely you will have blooms!

Thank you so much. Your video was simple. I could not believe that I haven’t seen it before. I have quite a few Amarillo and I still don’t know how to rebloom them. I’m sure I learn a lot today.

Hi,
Just joined I'm a new flower grower about 4 years. Neighbor gave me a red lion amaryllis for Christmas. I have a dozen now. I grew too many to keep from seed. I'm in a condo no basement garage gets to 33 degrees in the winter. Going to put mine in a paper bag and put in the veggie drawer in the refrigerator. And I learning hibiscus growing. Have to get my plant room ready for spring.

Have been growing amaryllis bulbs found at the big box stores for years, but treated them as annuals. But then friend gave me double variety so I began my collection 4 years ago. The bulbs I receive from Holland have a good 3 inches of roots. As large and tall as the blossom scapes are, short roots would have made them ever more top-heavy. I say leave some.. Need good roots to anchor bulb in the pots I used. Terra-cotta and glazed pottery. To force to bloom for Christmas, needs 6-8 weeks from planting to bloom (depending on variety). Plus 8 weeks in dormancy. So would to need to pull in mid August. This year, I let my bulbs grow til Halloween then put into storage. Won't pot those up until January, shoot for valentine's day...just sharing how it works for me.

I normally cut off the leaves & the roots right at the basal plate itself. This will expose the root nodes if you removed the basal plate before air-drying them for a few days. It's only later that I place them in the veg section of my fridge. I need to keep them in for at least 8 weeks before taking them out for a few days of air-drying again before planting up. Yes, you are right that not all will bloom though :)

Most videos I've seen recommend leaving the leaves on.
