Just as it sat on the balcony in the cold for the last 3 months with freezing temperatures for many days and nights...but given some water, and the warmth inside...now just look what this amaryllis is doing! It's alive!And I'm thrilled to see 5 more blooms on the orchid. It continues to give such joyful color to drab days.

My Amaryllis keep producing the long spear leaves as well. I keep them inside all year. But no blooms, after the initial bloom when I bought them, except for one that finally bloomed again after several years... strange...
ReplyDeleteOh I know how that can happen. But one plant once had instructions to get it to bloom, to feed it all summer, then cut the leaves off, let the roots dry a bit, cut them back, and then put it in a refrigerator in a paper bag for a few weeks, then put it back into dirt inside the house, and start watering it. So I did that a few years...and only one waited a long time before giving blooms as well as leaves. Good to hear I'm not the only one with amaryllis troubles.
