Leaves Before Flowers

Amaryllis bulb with only leafs growingWhen you first buy an Amaryllis bulb and pot it you may get a bulb that produces leaves first and you're left wondering if there is something wrong with your Amaryllis because it is only growing leaves. That happens with some and it isn't something out of the ordinary; a bulb may grow leaves before flowers or it may do it in reverse.

I have bulbs that do both; some may grow only leaves first and then flower and some may grow flowers first and then the leaves will follow. In both cases you should give the plant warmth and light and careful watering and allow it to continue growing.

  3. I was so glad to find this page, my Amaryllis is close to 6 inches tall, it has only leaves, no blooms or buds yet. How tall do the leaves get before the bud stalk comes up? And should I stake it now or wait?
