I pollinated an amaryllis and grew the seeds, it's 15 years old now, still blooming and lives constantly on one south facing window sill in zone 7. She always blooms for me and is producing a second bulb now.☺️

Man thats dedication 👏. Sadly I can't even reuse my old bulbs. The whole logistic to get them to bloom when I have limited space is to much hassle, especially when I can order them so easily from the Netherlands each year. But honestly it always feels like a defeat to throw the bulb out.

Aweeee I hope my new Amaryllis will live as long as possible.

I fell in love with these when I packed bulbs for a major bulb producer decades ago. I sent them to my mom & sisters for years. My daughter was little at the time & though she's grown now, she STILL calls them "grandma-ryllis" 😆 I'm in N. Georgia & let mine be outside in their pots through the summer. This year, I let one stalk go to seed & now have tiny babies growing! They're just one little leaf, will probably take forever to reach bloom size but, what the heck, why not?? Brought mine in before it got too cold, I don't care when they bloom either, always welcome blooms whenever they appear!

Laura, it was so sweet to see you doing your projects in bare feet and slippers. You're so down-to'earth and unpretentious. Thank you for always keeping it real. You inspire me to follow your example without making me feel bad about myself because I can't replicate the flair and scale of what you do. You brighten my life.

Can’t wait to see this pot bloom, it is going to be a show stopper.

Mine are planted in the garden and they bloom in the spring. But I did have one bloom this in July. Very unusual here in zone 7. I do plant them up to the almost top of the bulb. I have had these bulbs for over thirty years. If I move they come with me. I have moved over the years at least eight times. My dad gave me the start of them he lived at the time in Florida. My bulbs have been in Florida, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina. Have done well in all of these locations.

Hi Laura! Those will be beautiful when they bloom. I'm looking forward to the update next year. Thank you so much for sharing all of the information!

Fabulous! Was really looking forward to this one and so pleased to see how well last year’s bulbs have done. The new pot is just beautiful, especially top dressed with the moss. Thanks so much, Laura

Can't wait to see them bloom. I have an amaryllis outside that I replanted from my mother's yard after she died and it blooms in the spring. It's beautiful red and white striped blooms 😍

So glad your being comfortable and taking it easy! Thank you for doing this video, time to plant up this year’s amaryllis and get last year’s ready also.

Can’t wait for the blooms; they will look beautiful🌸🌸

that is so amazing the amount you put in there. i can't wait to see the results. You must show an up-to-date video when it is in full bloom. wow. And comfort is everything. glad you enjoyed your day

Good morning ! Excited for this ! May try my hand at these ! So pretty ! Thank you for sharing !

I love flowers growing in my home in January and February - especially Hyacinths with all their beautiful scent. Thanks Laura for always taking us through the Amaryllis process. It has a strange way of seeming daunting yet it's so much easier than Pointsettas. Loved the update on last year's waxed Amaryllis and would love to see where you tuck these plants into your garden in spring. 🌷🌷🌷

I have been sharing these very same bulbs for years. I was given from my family years ago. At least 4 generations now. I love their blooms!

How exciting to see this video as it's been a topic of conversation in the Groupies group and just got my Gardeners Supply catalog today and saw those hanging ones.. Can't wait to see everyone's grow..

Yay! I just binged all the amaryllis videos 💜 because I planted my very first one last week! Super excited to have my own living example to follow along! And my 6 year old is too - he'll be measuring the growth each week. 🌱 He'll be excited to watch this!

They will be Beautiful !! Glad you are taking things a little easier. Take care of yourself.

I plant amaryllis and paper whites. My first time trying to force bulbs indoors. It's awesome to watch the growth everyday.

Good morning! It's always such a pleasure. Love the planter with these amaryllis.

I just planted my new bulbs & brought out last year's!! And I am excited to announce that there is growth!!!! 😃🥳🌺🌺🌺

You ma'am have inspired me so much this last year. I found amaryllis bulbs at lowes, so yes I purchased one. Yes just one. It was the Minerva variety. I got it planted in the coco shredd they provided and 3 small leave and 1 12 inch flower stalk later. I'm so excited to see it bloom. Thank you for all your inspiration in this crazy crazy year. ❤⚘❤

Wonderful demonstration. Going to shop today for bulbs. I love the look of the pot with the moss. Thank you for sharing your beautiful ideas

Oh Wow! Such a beautiful container full of bulbs. Will be so pretty when they bloom.

Hi Laura great it's that time of year again to plant a beautiful plant. So good to see yours in in a beautiful pot. They will look so beautiful when they bloom. I have a white one from last year and it's doing really good l am happy it's come back again. And l am so going to get some more after watching you today.

That is going to be stunning. Can't wait to see it in full bloom. ❤️

It is so...beautiful of the snow wax upside down, they are sooocute Amaryllis wax.

I live in southern Brazil and now since we’re in the end of Spring my Amarilys already bloomed in early Spring. They are annuals here and are amazing. 💖

it is great to see that it'll all work out fine even if not kept to schedule. love the reals.

About to plant my second one I have ever had. Gifted to me from my sister. Thanks for showing us the proper way to pot them!

I just love a amaryllis. I am fortunate enough to have all mine grow in my yard( in Louisiana) and every spring I have a magnificent show of flowers. Years ago I started with a few and now I have to many to count cause they just keep spreading. It’s never gotten so cold here that I’ve lost any! If it gets in the teens I just cover them with cloth for the duration of the freeze! My favorite flowers in the spring!

I love it. I’m super late with my amaryllis too this year. I’m repotting today too. Now I’m inspired and ready to tackle my project. Thanks you guys!

Super helpful, thank you so much for this video Laura! Your videos are just like a sunshine in a dark times :) I am very grateful for it. Best wishes to you and your family from Lithuanian living in Sweden :)

Here in Sydney (zone 11) I saw these bloom in spring, and some people keep the bulbs in the fridge till mid November and then they will bloom at Christmas which is the peak of our summer. So it has always been a "summer/festival" flower as I remembered....So it's quite amazing to see that they actually grow over Christmas over the world!!!!

Laura, I wish my algebra teacher had been a great teacher as yourself. I love your attention to detail, not assuming we know anything. Thank you

You are a sweetheart! I have three amaryllis bulbs on my basement steps waiting to come upstairs. I put them outside for a few weeks in the summer and brought them in early September. Excited to see what happens!

Inspired me to get mine planted today with our 50 degree temps in Minneapolis! Thanks for sharing

I have one. My husband gave it to me last December bloomed. It was so beautiful. I planted it and it has 6 large leaves. I live west coast Cali. I am going to put it in the garage and force it to bloom.

I’m planting my amaryllis today! I’m a little behind as well but having never planted them before I’m excited to give it a try! The pot is going to be so beautiful when it blooms!

I find it helpful to know that even “seasoned gardeners” get off schedule and that things can still be done, even when you run late. I like that you give us what to expect, if we are later in doing things, because the plants may behave differently, if they are in a different stage of their life (kinda like people, when they are in different stages of life!)! Thanks so much!

Since discovering your videos I have been binge watching them (I have been gardening for about 60 years and truly believe we can always learn something new). I have enjoyed every video you have made, so to cover all of them....THANK YOU.

Slippers and the fur collar sets the mood. ✨🌟

I purchased my very first amaryllis bulb last week while shopping at my local farm store. I'm anxious to see how it does for me. Thanks for this timely video, Laura!

Thanks for the video. I was going to go looking for Amaryllis today. My first time dealing with one. Now I’m ready.

Perfect timing! I dug up my amaryllis that I had planted in my yard(zone 7b) and wanted to have them bloom inside this year.

Laura, you have mentioned that your bulbs bloomed in the summer. When they are planted outside they usually bloom in May-June. That is their bloom time in nature. If you want to grow them outside it is posible in colder climates. Next year you can plant your plants from pots in ground after the last hard frost, and treat them like every other plant. In autumn you need to wait frost to kill amaryllis leaves, and then you dig them up, cut the roots and store them somewhere where the temperature is 10C (50F). And then you just wait spring to plant bulbs in ground normal. Just plant them like every other bulb (the top of the bulb 4-5 inches deeper than ground level). And then same process in autumn with digging them up. Bulbs can tolerate temp down to -6C (20F), some varieties can tolerate temps down to -12C (10F). So you can plant them earlier in the spring when it is safe. They grow better when they are planted outside than in pots.

I just planted 3amaryllis yesterday cant wait for them to bloom!

Thanks! My wife received one of these for XMAS a month ago. Gave it a shot of water and placed it in the Sunroom. Wow, it is really growing now. Great video and very helpful!

Beautiful! This year I thought I was super late and planted 2 bulbs but I soaked the roots for 3 days (Didn’t mean to soak for so long but life got in the way) and then planted them just a day before thanksgiving and they were about 2 1/2 feet tall and bloomed just before Christmas! I was shocked how fast they grew!

I can't wait to see these blooms. I need some slippers like that!

Ok Laura...this year I'll try growing one...😊you inspired me...I like the hanging ones❤

Absolutely love that you did this in slippers and love the shirt by the way!

Zone 6 here (southern Illinois). Planted mine outside in a kinda protected area two years ago. They survived last winter and bloomed beautifully this late spring.

So glad to see this video, was surprise to see the wax coated survived!

I have been waiting on this video. 😂💁🏼‍♀️ I’m happy I did it right just by winging it and instructions from your past videos on Amaryllis. lol 😂 can’t wait for them to bloom. Thanks again for all your tips!!

I cant wait to see this pot bloom 😃🪴

Laura, you're just the best!

I can't wait to see these in bloom. I'm in zone 9 so I plant them out in my plant beds. Some I get 2 or 3 times of blooms a year. My area gets a lot of rain through the summer so I plant them in mound beds to help keep them from sitting in water so the bulbs don't rotten.

I love those upside down one's!😁 I can see them hanging three different lengths from a curtain rod in a picture window.

Surprisingly I found the exact amaryllis your planting a few days ago, and obviously picked up a couple. Turns out they must not look at their stock very often because I got 2 that had stalks at least 7 or 8 in tall! And they were all bent over in the box, one being almost 90degrees! I was so concerned I had to buy them and take them home. It's been 3 days and thankfully theh have pretty much fully straightened up. 1 of them actually has 2 bloom stalks and the other possibly was producing a second bulb (pointed downward, but already had a leaf, I generally separated and planted it next to mother considering I didnt think it would do well being planted under the soil) you can already see the reds of the bloom coming in. I talk to them, rub their leaves, and encourage them a couple times a day. I feel like it helps putting out the positive energy for them to grow strong and amazing.

I was searching how to force amaryllis bulbs and discovered your channel! Thank you for your valuable insight, super helpful and best instructions by far! I’m an avid gardener living in Solano County Ca, my property is only 3400 square feet with front and backyard, although rewarding, takes hard work. I can only imagine how much work to manage a property as large as yours. The wonderful thing about plants, is they give so much back ❤

This is my first year planting amaryllis and it's because of watching your video last year. I tried ordering from Color Blends but 2 weeks ago they were sold out! lol I'll try earlier next year. So I ordered from Gardner's Supply and on a whim picked up some paper whites and a pretty red (can't remember the name) from a big box store. I planted them all up in my terra cotta that was languishing in an old shed and now they are taking up my valuable counter top work space in my kitchen. Well worth it! Seriously Laura, because of watching your videos I've had house plants for a year now and they are all still alive! Lemon Cypress, pathos, Christmas cactus (love the leaves even without the blooms), aloe vera, an assortment of succulents, and even an ORCHID! Which is going super strong though I admit I have no idea what I'm doing right to make it grow so profusely and bloom so happily! I'm looking forward to expanding in to my yard this spring and trying my hand at bigger plants. lol Thanks for sharing your journey and giving so much encouragement through your videos, you're awesome.

In new to bulb planting but it looks easy. Would live to have a sunroom like you. Thanks for all the info. You inspire me!

2020 is my first year at growing Amaryllis. Mine did Amazing... It had 6-8 flowers at one time on 2 flower stalks. Now I'm hooked... I'm getting ready to buy more and start them. I bought mine from a nursery online. Thanks hon.

Good timing my bulbs have been in their dormant stage since late September, time to pull them out and repot for their 3rd year 😎🇫🇷❤️

Love the toe wiggle at the end! lol yes, comfort is important!
