Amaryllis Summer Care: Heavy Feeding for Next Spring's Blooms

Bone Meal Isn't Enough

Irene's amaryllis bulbs need weekly Miracle-Gro for blooming plants (or rose formula) all summer in full sun. Heavy feeding builds bulb size for next year's flowers.

Schedule

• Spring: move outdoors, full sun.
• Summer: weekly bloom fertilizer.
• Fall: stop water, let leaves die, store in basement.
• Winter: cool, dark, dry.
• Next spring: repot, water, watch bloom.
