Since this is blooms AND CHAT:
I guess this is an appropriate place for this post? I found these videos from Hadeco interesting for the harvest process (2020,) and fascinating for the drone flyover of the blooming Amaryllis fields (1999) in South Africa. You might have all seen them!

2020 (harvesting, washing, grading, and cutting for a stem count!)

I agree Thank you Ken for posting those wonderful videos! I've never seen such big bulbs and roots and those fields of blooms; wow! Just think, our single bulbs were one of those millions. Thinking

Hello everyone...
Heres mine in the making Hurray!

Thumb of 2020-08-12/JelenaV/bcddfd



Already bloomed but anyway Rolling my eyes. .And I did cut the stick...I want to cut all the leafs in maybe november/december and I want to take it from the pot and cut roots...And then what???
Should I repot it and put it inside(cool room with poor light) and take it out in the spring again...
Or should I put only bulb in dark spot for a few months and than plant it the spring???

@JelenaV

you do not have to cut roots and leaves
you can transfer it to a pot with all the leaves and roots. Leaves will die by itself and bulb be dormant through the winter

Correct - do not cut the leaves - let them die back. As they die, nutrients in the leaves will go back down into the bulb, that is the reason for not cutting the leaves. And just leave the roots alone. If you want, you can just put the bulb in a darker/cooler area for the winter and then pot it in the spring, or plant it outdoors again in spring.

P.S. what is your minimum winter temperature and what type of amaryllis you have ?
Some of them can survive is some of down 0 C temperatures ?
