Keep them cool and dry and they should be ready to break dormancy in the spring.

Two years and none for me though I have one bulb that has two stalks growing out the center but it doesn't look like a traditional offset to me.<BR/><BR/>@Wicked<BR/><BR/>The cheapest place I found them at was Wal-Mart last year. If you're not opposed to shopping there check their summer bulbs selection in the spring.<BR/><BR/>@Crafty<BR/><BR/>You're right they're ugly but the flowers are pretty cool.<BR/><BR/>@barbara<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by and I'm glad you enjoyed the post.<BR/><BR/>@Chris,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting. I fertilize them after they flower and stop about September/October if you're forcing. The flower you get now will be because of the fertilizing you did after it had already flowered. Fertilizing now doesn't do anything for the current flower that's all powered by last years fertilizing.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-62522704950211292152007-11-11T14:14:00.000-06:002007-11-11T14:14:00.000-06:00Hey Mr. BT,How are you?

I have a question...do you fertilize them?

I used to overwinter them in the pot they grew in, but have found there isn't room for that big pot in the garage anymore. So it goes under a tarp outside and the bulbs end up in my garage in a bag (after they've dried out).Carol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-73057480425332521542007-11-11T06:18:00.000-06:002007-11-11T06:18:00.000-06:00Hi Mrs Brown thumb,Great advise on your posts abou...Hi Mrs Brown thumb,<BR/>Great advise on your posts about looking after bulbs and preparing the amaryllis. Good luck with the lottery I think an Urban farm would be a great idea, the way we are going all farms could end up being urban as we sprawl our way ever outwards.<BR/><BR/>Cheers MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05030723007281118936noreply@blogger.com
