Amaryllis..I don't want it to die

Hi, I bought an amaryllis and need info on keeping it. Snip Depending on when you want it to bloom, you need to remove it from the pot, put it in a dark, cool spot for at least 6 weeks, then replant it and set it in the light. The usual cycle for an amaryllis is to bloom then begin to put out leaves in abundance. The bulb needs to be kept well fed and lighted for several weeks/months, then allowed to go dormant by withholding water. The leaves will begin to wilt when it is time. (here we keep it going through the summer, as it usually blooms about Christmas time) Amaryllis' are beautiful flowers and can be kept over for many seasons. They will produce offsets that, if properly nurtured will also produce blooms. |
