Aren't Amaryllis a delight. I support children with special needs in a mainstream school and for Christmas last year I bought them a bulb each. It's just so rewarding to see how quickly they grow and what amazing flowers they produce. I had no idea you could grow them from seed though!

Thanks gillian , I honestly didn,t think it would ever flower it was so tiny , it was quite a shock to see this huge stem coming up out of such a small amount of foliage ,( the leaves you can see in the photo belong to another plant ).and there is another huge bud ready to open hidden behind this flower .

I think you're the first person I've heard of successfully growing one from seed - well done!

Hi Spritz

I have found this to be common. I have had the flower snap (they make beautiful cut flowers and last ages in water) and then had re growth.

hi Spritz, yes i have seen this before, did you dead head the original stem as the flowers faded? if so this could be the reason that it has re-flowered. either that or you are just very lucky. i have seen quite a few with two stems on at once or like yours a second stem once the first has flowered - i don't think it is damaging to the bulb in anyway - so enjoy!

Thanks so much for your help. It has a small tip showing already, so I'm waiting to see if it's a flower spike or just a leaf!

Bulbs can be left in original container for 2, 3 or more years before any need to repot.When flowers start to 'go off' move into light shade,water and fertilse to get the leaves growing strong.

OK, it's planted as recommended. When it has finished doing whatever it wants to, in several months' time, do I dry it out and repot? Or leave it and nurture it?

Thanks both, for the advice and also for Wyeboy's photos. I do hope that mine lives that long to look like that beauty!

I was given a bulb about 17 years ago, as a Christmas present. After all these years it has multiplied to about 6 huge bulbs in a pot which flower in the summer and produce up 12 stalks of superb blooms. I will try to include a photo on this site if I can find it !! Best of luck ,they are worth it but do take the advice of darryluk.

Can take 6 weeks,or up to 4 months to flower! Should bloom first season.Soak bottom of bulb in warm water to spread roots out.Top 1/3rd of bulb above soil.Any good compost will do.Water well then leave till growing or soil bone dry. Will rot if watered too much. Assume you are growing indoors,they wont survive frost outdoors.
