How to Get Your Amaryllis to Bloom Again

Post-Bloom Care for Repeat Amaryllis Flowers

1. Spring–Summer: After last frost, move pot outdoors to full sun. Water and fertilize (balanced liquid) every 2 weeks to rebuild the bulb.
2. Late Summer: Leaves yellow—stop watering. Let soil dry completely.
3. Dormancy (3–4 months): Store pot in a cool, dark closet (50–55°F). Check monthly; add 1–2 tbsp water only if bone dry.
4. Rebirth: When new growth appears, bring into bright light, resume watering/feeding. Blooms follow in 6–8 weeks.

Consistent sun, feeding, and a proper rest period are the secrets to yearly amaryllis displays.
