we have a dozen amaryllis bulbs that are 10-15 years old and have re bloomed every year. after blooming we leave the leaves grow until the bulbs 3 month rest period, plants look great but most of the bulbs won't re bloom any more HELP US PLEAS TY very much








thank you Susi C


we have always done exactly what you wrote and have always had success in reblooming. We are thinking that we should go to another fertilizer, high in phosphates--clay pots are just a tad bigger than bulbs--they like to be root bound--they get a three month rest in the fall----help help please








they are in clean clay pots not much bigger than the bulbs, fresh soil, 3 month rest period, leaves still grow fabulously, for many years we would get great looking flowers, bulbs are big and very healthy looking, leaves are big and healthy also, but no flower stalks--please help us thank you

maybe they just need to be divided. or they did not get a long enough rest. it happens sometimes. let them leaf out for 3 mos, then giv em a little longer rest this time. Divide, and re-pot in new soil and pots and start feeding.... Good Luck!
