Can i keep my amaryllis bulbs in their pot all year round without a dormancy?

I have heard of some people buying amaryllis bulbs and the bulbs blooming then they cut the stock off when it was finished blooming and let the leaves grow, Can i let my amaryllis bloom when it wants to without it having a dormancy

Can i keep my amaryllis bulbs in their pot all year round without a dormancy?
With my Amaryllis I cut the flower stalk off once it wilts and I let the leaves grow all summer. I have 2 Amaryllis. One I set out on the deck and one I have in the living room year round. Both of them start dropping their leaves around this time of year. I move them to the basement where I have a grow light and leave them there. As their leaves get wilty I snip them off.


I usually get blooms along sometime in January.





I used to un-pot them at the end of the growing season and then re-pot them later on. They never re-bloomed that way. Mine seem to like to staying in the pots they are in.
Reply:Sure you can leave it in the pot. It will go dormant when it is ready to. What did all those wild bulbs do out there without us humans to dig them up?!

Reply:Amaryllis need a dormant period, like any bulb. You do need to cut off the stalk and let the leaves grow, that is food for the bulb to produce the next bloom. But in order to make it bloom again, it does need to be dried off and restarted. Here is a link to a very good web site with the information you need:

Reply:The amaryllis is light sensitive. It has to have 12 hours of absolute dark and 12 hours of daylight for a few weeks in order to bloom.
