i have been getting big green leaves all summer but no flowers....i put them in the basement b/c i read that now they go dormat for a few months???? one of them is still growing...any suggestions please!!!!
How do i get my amaryllis to bloom???
Bring it inside, cut off the leaves and stop watering it. Set it in the dark somewhere inside of your house. I have mine in a closet upstairs that we never use. Leave it in the dark for 6-8 weeks . At the end of this time check on it. There should be a bud poking out of the top of the bulb. Bring the plant out to a sunny window location and within a couple of weeks you will have a flowering plant again.
Reply:you have to cut it back and leave it in the dark....NO WATERING...it must go completely dormant...then when you are ready to start it...put in the light and water...it should bloom in a matter of weeks.
Reply:Leave it out side until the frost kills the leaves. Then cut it back and bring it inside. Water and maybe by Christmas . Good luck.
Reply:I heard if you put an apple core in the water in the main stem of the plant it will encourage it to flower
