Karen,

Sorry for the late reply. I thought I had replied previously but I see that it didn't go through. I usually feel that unless the babies are crowding out the mother plant it is best to let them grow until they get 2-3 leaves and then transplant them.

Congrats on your successful germination!

This is wonderful information. I have an amaryllis plant that is well over 100 years old. Was my great, great grandmother's. (If I kill it, I'll be devastated, lol).
Have been doing what you've written here, mainly by instinct and have now saved the seeds and propagated a few. Also, the main plant I have gives off many little bulblets to which I'm wondering, should I pot them up on their own, or is it best to let them do their thing within the "mother plant's" pot?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!
I enjoy all of your blogs, btw.

Liz,

It is up to you. If you treat it like a regular houseplant it will bloom again at some point. It won't be during the holidays but they will bloom again.

I have grown from seed 4 small bulbs with leaves and am not sure what to do next. I live in Spain and although we get a winter it is still quite mild should I make them dormant or leave them alone.

Adrian,

I've used cinnamon as an antifungal to some success. As for them not dying back I have always been under the impression that they will just rebloom on their own schedule when they don't go dormant. I guess this isn't the case in your climate? Have you thought about being a little heavy-handed with the fertilizer?

I have been growing Amarylis for several years,
First as bulbs, then from seeds and a few from choppeb bulbs where I found the problem is mould,I have not found a replacement for Benlate.
I have a few hundred now of many varieties and hybrids. The problem is getting them to flower as the bulbs refuse to die back and become dormant in Cyprus's year round warmth.

Hi Anonymous from Turkey,

Sorry for the late reply. You can put them in horizontally or vertically. I don't think it really makes that much of a difference.

Love From Turkey,
This is the first year , I meet the perfect flower, amaryllis. I have two different kind. Dark Red anda white with red lines.
This site helped me too much. I read everything. I have got seeds from one kind. Seeds are begun to germinate in water. Then I put them in cocopeat soil mix. I'm not sure that seed direction is correct. Do I put the germinated seeds vertically or horizantly.
Thanks..

Anonymous, It is up to you. You can let them continue to grow (they'll bloom on their own) or you can without water in September and allow them to go dormant and then "wake them up" when you want them to bloom again.

I have about six little bulbs, and now what should I do with them since it is September. Do I leave them in their little pots or do I let them dry out?

Thanks for visiting and saying hello. It's always nice to 'meet' new blog friends :) You have some good information here. Thanks for sharing it.
I have two Amaryllis growing at the moment...one pink, one red. Hope to see flowers on both before too long!
