Amaryllis Rebloom


Many people find it very difficult to reach the amaryllis to rebloom. In fact, if you have 100 people who love the amaryllis you can hear 90 of them that they have never seen this happen or failed to get it to happen every year to ask. The fact of the matter is that it is possible, you just need a little more understanding about the plant to have success with the amaryllis rebloom.

For you must know that the amaryllis plant originates from the tropics to understand, so it is used and does best when receiving nine months of wet weather and three months of dry weather. The plant is capable of very lush leaves grow during the period of nine months of wetness, but when the dry season, the plant is able to rest and the leaves die.
When the rainy season begins again, the plant growth which can quickly be followed by the stem to be produced. So, if you look at this cycle you will see that the flowering time of plants is based on the moisture in the environment.

Would you like to see an amaryllis rebloom you should continue to fertilize your plant twice a month after flowering. You should also pay attention to the outdoor growth period is proposed. Outdoor growth time is important, because this is when the amaryllis has bloomed and then storing energy that will produce buds in the bulb for the future.

After this period, in the late summer there is frost, bring the plant indoors and discontinue watering, but provide it to continue getting the full light. You want to keep the pot in a cool environment where the temperature between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The leaves will usually brown and die in this time when the plant rests. After the leaves fall, you can save the plant in the dark.

Halfway through the winter you should repot the bulb into a pot that is only two inches larger than the diameter of the sphere. When planting, leave the upper third of the exposed bulb and make sure the plants in a soil that is well drained. Late in the winter the plant will be ready to enter the regrowth period, so you need to plant in a sunny window, preferably on the south, and then water well. Growth should begin within a few weeks with the leaves and flower stalk growth is visible and then quickly rebloom your amaryllis have!
