Hi, I was wandering if i could polinate Elvas amaryllis. Would it set some seeds or not. Would be possible to cross polinate it or this one is sterile?

Cecilia,

You should try joining a forum like GardenWeb.com that has a lively (at least last time I checked) forum about growing Amaryllis bulbs. They're always really helpful and you could probably find some people there who are looking to trade.

Hi! I have a white and pink amaryllis that is just gorgeous (like all of them) Just self pollited it and will be going to HD to buy potting soil to sow and germinate some of the seeds. I have more seeds coming up in a couple of weeks and a new flower coming up soon. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in trading pollen or possibly the seeds once they germinate. I want more variety, and cannot find any. Well, please contact me even if you do not want to trade pollen or seeds and would just rather donate. Thank you! (1st time pollinator!!!) ceciliaalejandrarivas@gmail.com I live in Southern California, Corona, and my amaryllis is out in the sun and heat, and have never taken the bulb out of it's place (even during winter), and she just keeps on groing and growing. It's the perfect plant/flower for the weather here!

You can easily move them indoors, just dig them up. But you can get them to flower just by fertilizing your bulbs heavily.

We have place two amaryllis bulbs in the ground in our yard. They both flower. Since they are in the ground moving them in doors is not an option. Is there anything that we should or can do to insure they continue to bloom year after year.

Hi Anonymous,

Sometimes the seeds may fall out, but in my experience most of them just stay put. They're attached to the pod pretty well. Yes, plant them ASAP, because they don't stay fresh very long.

I have a question,
I have just gotten my first amaryllis . I have just pollinated my flower. when the seed pods form will the seeds fallout. will they be able to be planted right away when they fall out of the pod?

Hi Michael,

You can just cut off the stalk, once the seeds have ripened it will just shrivel and rot.

Hi there,
I have just had my 1st pods open up and seeds are looking good. I was just wondering what should one do with the stalk once all seeds are removed? Do you just leave it to die off by itself or do you cut it down?
Thanks Mike

Hi Dan,

Sorry for the late reply, hope your Amaryllis seedlings are doing great. I don't know what I could say to give you some help since it seems like you're doing a good job growing these bulbs yourself. The one thing I will suggest is that you feed them (fertilize) them enough during the spring and summer to get them to bulk up.

Feel free to share your pics if you'd like.

2009-06-16T15:52:23.666-05:00

Hello:

I have a spectacular bright red amaryllis which I have been propagating for a few years now, and have over 20 bulbs in various stages of maturity. I just read your blog for the first time a couple of weeks ago. My amaryllis does not produce seed pods that "open" of their own accord, the flower stalks wilt before the pods can open and therefore I must perform surgery on the pods to get the seed. They are tiny seeds, about 1mm in size, and are a white to beige color. Last summer I planted a pod full of seeds in a 10" diameter pot, and that pot now has 18 or 20 bulbs ranging from pea size to walnut size. I am in southern CA, and thinking this may have something to do with this (apparently) different method of propagation.

The mother plant has provided offset bulbs aplenty over the years, and I have friends to whom I've given these "pups", from San Diego to Washington state...much to their delight with the amazing blooms they produce.

I can provide photos if you would like to see them. I would appreciate any comments you nay care to make about what has now become an amaryllis forest on my patio.

Regards,

Dan in Huntington Beach.

OK Thanks! I'll give it a try

2009-05-20T22:29:17.366-05:00

Hi Kim,

If it is indoors you won't lose any seeds if they open up while you're away. Unless if you have pets or curious kids/adults around who would mess with them. But you could always tie a napkin, or piece of cloth around your seed heads to keep them in place if you're worried about losing them.

2009-05-20T13:30:14.459-05:00

Hi,

I believe that I have successfully pollinated one of my amyrillis plants and am expecting babies any day now I hope! :) How long after you pollinate the plant does it take for the pods to open up? I'm asking because I will be going out of town for a few days and am not sure if the pods are going to open up while I am gone or not?

Thanks,

Kim

Mathew,

Welcome to the world of Amaryllis bulbs. The seeds that you produce will soon grow into bulbs just like the ones you get in the store.

The post on Sowing Amaryllis bulb seeds shows you how to plant your seeds. My suggestions would be to make sure you give them plenty of light and plenty of fertilizer in the spring & summer when you place them outside. Above the video in the sidebar you'll find links to the more important posts here. Look them over and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

2009-02-26T14:35:00.000-06:00

I have a question, after you get the seeds, do you just plant them right after? and are these the bulbs that we get at the store? Thank you, your website has a lot of good information. My amaryllis is just coming out of the bulb, this is my first time growing one, and I am really excited! It is another kind of amaryllis, it is called double dragon amaryllis. Any other suggestions for begginners like me?
