What do you do with an amaryllis once it has bloomed?
After the flowers fade, cut off the flower stalk with a sharp knife. Make the cut 1 to 2 inches above the bulb. Don’t damage the foliage. In order for the bulb to bloom again next season, the plant must replenish its depleted food reserves.
Do amaryllis bulbs come back every year?
Although amaryllis are typically only sold around the holidays, they can be grown successfully year-round and bloom again as long as they receive proper care.
Can I put my amaryllis outside?
Amaryllis bulbs are easy enough to grow indoors, and just as easy to grow in the garden, provided you live in a suitable region. They make great specimens outdoors. They perform well in beds, borders, or containers outside. You can also scatter them throughout the landscape in naturalized areas.
Where is the best place to plant amaryllis?
Amaryllis can tolerate both sun and shade fairly well but typically fares better somewhere in between – like partial shade. Too much sunlight can lead to leaf burn, while flowering may be limited in too much shade. Next, consider the soil in the area you want to grow amaryllis. These bulbs prefer well-draining soil.
Should I cut the dead flowers off my amaryllis?
Deadheading is necessary only if you plan to reflower the plant for the next growing season. You’ll first want to remove any of the dead blooms from the plant as this will prevent them from going to seed. Keep in mind that you only need to remove brown or yellow stalks or ones that have begun to wither.
