		AMARYLLIS: YEAR-ROUND CARE ^Votes:0 AMARYLLIS: YEAR-ROUND CARE A popular indoor plant in the winter and spring is the amaryllis, with large lily-shaped flowers on tall stems. They are becoming a popular holiday gift. As a bulb, it shares some care and growth methods used with other bulbs. However, because of its background as a tropical plant, and bloom cycle, there are differences. The bulb is NOT winter hardy in upstate NY, so would not survive planted outdoors, as would tulips, daffodils, etc. The amaryllis is for indoor blooms on a yearly cycle. With proper care, the bulb will flower again each year. ESTABLISHING THE NEW BULB The bulb does not require pre-cooling to be forced, as do daffodils and tulips. Newly purchased bulbs should be kept in a cool, dry location with air circulation until they can be planted. The bulb Read More Go to Site

		Growing the Delightful Amaryllis ^Votes:0 Growing the Delightful Amaryllis H-811 (Revised) December 2000 Ronald C. Smith, Extension Horticulturist No other interior flower can add such a volume of delightful color in a home during the long North Dakota winters than the amaryllis.

They can be named hybrids or simply unnamed seedlings, sold by the flower color. With their prominent stamens, they are an amateur plant breeder's delight, so those who want to experiment ala Gregor Mendel to see what various crosses will yield color-wise couldn't be working with a better plant. Planting The large amaryllis bulbs are often purchased in potted kit form with directions included. These potted bulbs require Read More Go to Site

		Questions On Amaryllis ^Votes:0 Questions on: Amaryllis Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have propagated some seeds from a flowering amaryllis. Two of the seeds rooted and formed leaves, but have died back. This is their second year and one of them has formed more leaves than last year. I am not sure if and when they will flower, but I am prepared to wait. Is there anything I can do to encourage them? I haven’t changed the compost or the size of the pots because I am not sure if that is the right thing to do. (e-mail reference) A: Let them stay where they are. When warm weather settles in, set them outside on an eastern or northern exposure close to the house. Allow them to dry down this fall.
