Rj… So nice to see amaryllis blooming this time of year….

For the beautiful amaryllis blooms.
Mine are all on the porch all with green leaves almost time to pull them in and put to sleep….

I’m so busy... “I don’t know if I found a rope or lost a horse.”

Bea, do you leave them in the container during dormancy?

I remove them from the pots and it's easier to remove the soil. Trim off all the roots and leaves and tuck them in a cool dark spot to sleep.

Do you put them in a bag with peat? I have left mine in the containers and after a few months in dormancy add a little water once a month. This past year I was remiss in giving them water and there was a lot of shrinkage, this year was one of rebuilding.
