How to make an amaryllis bloom again?

How to proceed

After flowering, your amaryllis may not look very attractive. However, this is the time it needs your care to bloom again. It’s simple if you follow a few rules:

– Cut off the faded flowers and allow the leaves to develop.

– Continue to water regularly and provide indoor plant fertiliser every 15 days. This is when the bulb replenishes itself to prepare for next year’s flowers.

– If spring is sufficiently advanced (night temperature >5° C), you can place your pot in the garden, in a sunny and sheltered spot.

– After 4 to 6 months, even if the leaves are still green, forget about your pots and let them rest for about 3 months in a sheltered place, without light and without watering, in a cool environment: the bulbs need a vegetative rest in cool conditions to be able to bloom again. After this vegetative rest, you can cut off the faded leaves, repot in fresh potting soil, and start a new growing cycle.
