Amaryllis is one of the gorgeous plants that blooms beautifully indoors during winter months. It is a treat to the eyes, when the blooms adorn the room, when all outdoors flowers are sleeping during extreme winter months. The bulbs are giant size and I prefer to grow one each in a small pot. My joy knows no bounds when i see the dormant bulbs start sprouting in the month of October and see the green shinny oblongated leaves emerging. By one and a half month, the flowers show their smiling faces. The blooms are there for 6- 8 weeks and it is sad to see them gone again. The bulbs are repotted in a mixture of loamy and coarse soil. The best place i have found were the pots can rest, is the furnace place in the house. The bulbs take a good rest in that dark and warm area and prepare themselves for another season The leaves drydown at their own. In October again the Amaryllis pots are brought out in light, to show their glory. This beautiful cycle continues!
