Just Stop Doing This to Your Amaryllis! It Blooms Again (Old Florist's Way)

📗 My book, Make It Bloom Again: 12 flowering plants, month by month 👉 https://rosiewhitcomb.com/yt Did your amaryllis give you a fan of tall green leaves this year and not one flower? Most people decide the bulb is used up and buy a new one. For 38 years I kept my flower shop's own amaryllis going year after year, two dozen clay pots that had to fill the front window with red for Valentine's Day. Your bulb is fine. What it missed costs nothing, and this month is the time to begin. I'll show you how we handled ours at the shop. In this video: 🔍 Four quick checks at the kitchen table that tell you if your bulb is ready 🧊 Why the refrigerator trick people use for tulips is wrong for an amaryllis 🏠 Where to keep it, even in a small apartment, and how to test the spot 🗓️ The day you start counting from, and how many weeks to leave it be ⚠️ What people get wrong on the morning after, and how it costs them the bud 🌸 How to tell a bud from a leaf, and which weeks to watch for flowers Every number comes again at the end, so keep a note card close. Amaryllis is poisonous to cats and dogs, and the bulb is the worst part, so keep it behind a door they can't open. Where is yours sitting today? I'd love to hear it below. Keep your snips sharp, and I'll see you at the windowsill. #Amaryllis #HouseplantCare #Gardening
