Can anyone tell me how to look after a amaryllis?

Once it's finished flowering, give a good 'once' feed then gradually let it dry out. The leaves may continue to grow so cut them back to the base and place the pot in a cool dark place until a week or two before Christmas then pot up again using fresh compost and start watering again using a solution of 2 parts water and 1 part liquid feed.

Yes, very gentle watering and place it in a bright, sunny spot, say in front of a window. Works for me everytime. I love the Amaryllis, don't you?





Hope this helps!
Reply:water and sunlight, when the bloom fades plant the bulb in the ground once frost is over, and then dig back up in the fall and pot, and put in the basement or the back of a closet till after christmas, then take it out, put on a window sill and start watering, you will have a bloom by easter or before.
