Will my Amaryllis bloom again by Christmas?

I bought an Amaryllis bulb around the first of October. I came home and planted it in this lovely white pot and I was planning on displaying it around Christmas. According to the tag, it should've taken around 8 to 12 weeks to bloom. The plant is blooming right now. Will it bloom again around Christmas or is it done for this year?

Don't feel bad....I just did the same for 3 of them and they will be blooming in full in just a couple of weeks, so I am going to buy more now for Christmas as you only get one bloom time inside. When spring comes, plant the ones you have right now outside and fertilize with blood meal and bone meal...they will bloom all summer...don't forget to grow Paper White bulbs in the house...so pretty and white and fragrant. I am starting mine this week in hopes they will be pretty the whole month of December.
Reply:Sorry but no it won't!
Reply:No, it will not bloom again this year. Amaryllis typically bloom once a year. You are lucky it bloomed! I have seen friends buy them and have them bloom AFTER Christmas. In my opinion it is very tricky to guage when they will bloom. In SoCal we plant them in the ground and they bloom in Spring!





Good luck :-)
