How to Grow & Care for Amaryllis

TODAY'S VIDEO: Today we will plant up amaryllis bulbs surrounded by paperwhites. You will learn what to do and how to care for them. We will also decorate up the pots we are planting them in, so we have something pretty to look at while we wait for our wonderful bulbs to grow.

Great Amaryllis and Paperwhites tutorial, Michelle! I vote for #2 for my daughter-in-law who loves gnomes.
I have grown Paperwhites in the house and it's so fun to watch them grow. They will amaze you!

Hello, a lovely Greek legend. I like amyrillis. They are native to the Cape Provinces in South Africa. I was born there and I really like amyrillis. Thank you for your inspiring video.😍🌸😍

I like the nostalgia look with the amaryllis.
The snowman and deer decorated one will be the first to sell .

What a darling video!! Love the amaryllis and paperwhites together. The little scenes turned out so cute!!

Such a timely video! I was just wondering what to do with the amaryllis I saved from last year. Decorating the pot to have something pretty to look at is such a fabulous idea. Why didn’t I think of that 🤦‍♀️. I always learn so much from your videos. I follow several garden channels but you are always the first one I watch. Thank you so much !!!

That’s my favorite too, Michelle! Love the legend.

My mom had this plant for years every Christmas it would be in bloom.

I liked your last pot the most.

Perfect timing…reminded me to go pull mine out of the basement! I love #4! Last year I collected the tiny cones from my hemlocks and used them instead of moss to cover the soil for some. Made for a nice combo of pots.🙃

Great video! I got an amaryllis for the first time this year and am planning to try to keep the bulb so it can hopefully bloom again next year. Thanks for all the information; you are a delightful teacher!

[jeangardens]

Your timing on this video is perfect! Just planted some bulbs my dad gave me and I was hoping to jazz it up a bit! Thanks

You're the fastest Mod-podger around!!😂 Loved the Gnome and the raccoon pots!

I love your videos! You are so inspiring and such a good teacher. I’d love to see more behind the scenes and crafts to keep us busy this winter. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us!

I potted 2 amaryllis a few weeks ago to hopefully have in bloom for a garden club event in December. 🤞Minerva and Appleblossom. The green stalks are currently about 6”-7”. Just today I potted 5 more varieties to have in the house for the holidays and beyond.
Love your bowls, especially the snowman one. I may have to copy that idea.
For the beginner, grab a waxed bulb from Trader Joe’s when then are in stock (not yet here in MA). I routinely get 3-5 blooms from each bulb, usually for about $8.

As I am watching this, I just realized I planted an amaryllis somewhere in my garden in the Spring .I’ll need to go outside and see if I can find it😂My friend in the South leaves hers out year round and it blooms early summer.

Thank you so much Michelle! My amaryllis, has green stems from last Christmas. I hope it will flower soon. You've inspired me to look at the varieties available here in the UK and create something similar for Christmas. You are so inspiring Michelle! Love your videos and your energy. Lots of love 🌺🌲🌺 XX

Love this ! Can’t pick a favorite, they’re all cute !

I vote for the reindeer pot. I repotted four of my Amaryllis last week and will replant my other bulbs in two week intervals. Also purchased a red double bulb this year. I think I will do some decorating to my pots to make them look more festive. Great video!!

[kimchartier]

wonderful start to finish, great teaching, all beautiful.

[colleenanderson]

I just started mine last week. I’m always amazed that this dry bulb can start to grow into a beautiful flower each year. Thanks Michelle.
