Amaryllis Bulbs. I grow them every year in the house during the holidays. The family loves them. None of my sisters are any better at storing the blooms after they bloom. I get snow, one sister in TX the other in SF bay area. We have all tried various ways to over summer them. Nothing seems to work. My bulbs limp over after blooming in the warm house. I set them in a closet to dry out. I have even put them in saw dust. Could I keep watering them and use a brace to keep the leaves upright? It is so dry and hot during the summer that most of the time the bulbs waste away. What am I doing wrong.
I keep them fairly moist when blooming, no extra fert. No matter what we try they all waste away.
