Hi, i bought my gramma an amaryllis bulb in winter 2006 and then i told her to cut the flower stock as soon as the flowers fade then i told her to let the leafs grow until spring then i told her to cut them and stop watering the bulb for 3 months and store it in the cellar, but it din`t get enough energy for this year to flower how am i suppost to correct the bulb so it can flower in 2008.
Amaryllis reflowering?
Amaryllis (or hippeastrum bulbs) need a lot of feeding before they get put away. They rarely flower a second time for amateur gardeners.
Try replanting the bulb in very good compost, allowing it to form leaves, feeding it very well with liquid fertilizer and putting it out in the sun.
There is a very good forum for these amazing flowers at the link I have left you.
Good luck.
