Hi everyone,
My name is Tracy and I garden (indoors and outdoors) in zone 5/6 (judging by our last winter) in Toronto, Canada.
You are watching a video of me potting up three Waxed Amaryllis Bulbs filmed on March 2022.
These are one of my favourite Christmas/Holiday blooming plants and they are super easy to care for and the bulbs last for many years of enjoyment.
In terms of fertilizer - I sprinkle about 1/4 tsp of my all-purpose slow release fertilizer (10-10-10) on top after they finish blooming every 2 years or so.

Amaryllis plants do best in bright light or a sunny spot with lots of morning sun.
To get the bulbs to re-bloom:
1) Remove the spent bloom stalks after blooming
2) Keep the plants In a location with a lot of morning sun until early September
*6-8 weeks from Mid-December:
3) Move the plants Into a low light spot and STOP watering in order to let the bulbs go dormant…or you can remove the bulbs from soil (cut off all leaves about 1” above the top of the bulb)
4) When the leaves dry out…cut everything off.
5) In order for the bulbs to rebloom by mid December: In early October, bring the plants and place them in a Location with morning sun (or put them under grow lights for 2-4 hours). Start watering the plants once you start seeing new growth.
6) In order to get them to rebloom around Valentine’s Day (early Feb)…I bring the bulbs out of dormancy around mid-December.

Thank you so kindly for taking some of your precious time to watch my video.
Take care and see you next time! 🪴💚
