Enjoy your Christmas Amaryllis-- 🌺 Hope your Amaryllis are blooming beautifully for the holidays!
Fun tip for your inner plant stylist: Did you know an Amaryllis bulb can live and bloom for 70+ years? Yes—don’t toss that bulb away!

Here’s how to keep yours blooming year after year:

✨ Bloom Time:
Most “Amys” bloom for about a month. If the flower stem gets too tall or floppy, just cut it and enjoy it as a cut flower in a vase.

✨ After Blooming:
Move the bulb to a bright window indoors. When temps stay consistently above 50°F, bring it outside to a bright garden spot—morning sun is ideal.
Water sparingly, only when dry. The long, floppy leaves may look messy, but they’re feeding next year’s blooms.

✨ Late Summer Prep (Sept–Oct in Northern CA):
Before the rains arrive, bring your bulbs indoors. You can cut the leaves back or let them dry naturally.

✨ Dormancy Time:
Place bulbs in a cool, dark closet to dry fully. Once dry, I like to lift them from their pots and store them in brown paper bags in the fridge.
Be sure to label your colors!

✨ The Fun Part — Wake-Up Time:
In October to early November, take your bulbs out of the fridge. Repot them in fresh soil, water lightly once, and place them in a bright, warm spot.
Keep them slightly dry until new growth appears. Soon you’ll see a new stalk—holiday blooms are on the way again!

🌼 Enjoy these lovely bulbs year after year.
And here in Northern California wine country and the coastal range, Amaryllis can even naturalize—a gorgeous surprise for gardeners who let them settle in.
