Repotting Heirloom Amaryllis: Timing and ID

Repotting Heirloom Amaryllis: Timing and ID

Your 80-year-old “salmon lily” is likely an Amaryllis variant. Repot when dormant—after leaves die back. Send photos of leaves and flowers to a specialist for exact ID.

Care

• Use blooming-plant fertilizer regularly.
• Keep in 6–8 inch pots; 12 inch for larger clump.
• Dormant period: cool, dry, dark until new shoots appear (Nov).

Remarkable longevity—your care has been excellent.
