Like every year its finished being dormant and you plant the bulb how many weeks does it take to see new signs of growth?
How many weeks does it take after dormancy for an amaryllis bulb to show new signs of growth?
Six to ten weeks, depending upon the variety. I think though that you need a book on them with all the questions you have been asking.
Reply:Here is how My Mother Handles her amaryllis.
She has had the same awesome plant for probably 10 years or more.
First off make sure that you're using a Clay pot with a drainage hole in the bottom. Place about 1 inch of gravel or small stone in the bottom of the pot (for proper drainage) Next fill the pot about half way with fresh soil and place your bulb in the middle. Cover to within 1 inch of the top of the pot with more soil. Moisten the soil and place it in a sunny spot. You will see growth within a couple of months. They are slow growing.
Once your amaryllis has finished blossoming do not remove the bulb.
Take the entire pot into the basement or a dark room if you don't have a basement. Tip it on it's side. and leave it there. Do not water or move it at all.
In the spring, bring the pot back upstairs, water it and the process will start all over again.
My Mothers plant has had 1 blossom for almost 10 years now (each Year) this year it
was a huge suprise! She had two blossoms at
the same time.
Try this and you should be seeing a wonderful
plant for many years to come.
Good Luck
Reply:http://pubs.caes.uga.edu/caespubs/hortic... a look here at this site. I have an amaryllis and it has not had any flowers on it yet. The amaryllis should be dormant right now. It says here but read on and you should be able to find the answer.
You should force it into dormancy by not watering it and putting it in a warm dark place. THen after 8 weeks bring it out in the sun and start watering and then new will grow.
