Okay here is my question: my amaryllis bulbs from last year are sitting stubbornly in the pot while my new bulbs are sprouting. Anything special I can do to stimulate the old bulbs into healthy new growth? They are pretty well rooted so I have not moved them or the soil they've been in.

My amaryllis after its initial forced blooming eventually follows the normal cycle of bloom. So it blooms for me afterwards around mid-Spring. I have done what I can too to maybe hasten it to bloom..but it knows when it has to do it..in Spring. At least that is what I have seen and experienced with my amaryllis bulbs. It does not get any rest here in my area. I just continue to keep the soil moist, give it sun, keep that bulb health and big.

The new amaryllis bulbs are conditioned for forced blooming, so they will bloom right around the holidays.
