Q&A for How to Get Amaryllis to Rebloom

The bloom typically lasts about 3 weeks for amaryllis, though the blooming period may be slightly longer or shorter depending on the growing conditions and health of the plant.

Do not cut the leaves off until they begin to die. When they start changing to yellow, you can remove them.

Once a year, if cared for correctly. The most important part is after the blooming season, where tending the plant properly can give it the needed energy to bloom the next year.

You would cut the stalk to 1 inch from the bulb once the flowers bloom has faded. You would still continue to water and feed with a liquid houseplant fertilizer.

The amaryllis blooms once a year. However, you can follow steps to ensure it reappears the following year.

Generally, the plant should be moved outdoors in the spring after the last frost. Be sure to plant it in a sunny location.

No, wait until the third time around. If the bulb has still failed to bloom, then discard it.

They divide every few years, but you can artificially divide them for more plants.

Those are seed pods. Unless you want to propagate your amaryllis, you should remove the flower and the pod after the bloom fades. This way, the bulb will not use energy to create seeds.

You can't make it do this. The cells of the plant can't create the flower that quickly.

They don't need to be cool, but they do need to dry out.

The top 1/3 of the bulb ALWAYS needs to be out of the top of the soil or a new bud will not form inside the bulb. The plant also needs to be "pot bound" before a bud will sprout, so use a smaller pot or give the plant more time to fill the pot with new roots.

Their longevity depends on a temperate environment. They die in the winter and wither in really hot temperatures. If you keep them inside they will last almost all year.

Put it somewhere in the sun, perhaps a windowsill or sunroom. Water it once a day, and if you want to be funky, you could put on some music by the plant. It is scientifically proven that plants grow better if they listen to music.

Amaryllis flowers do not have seeds, but they reproduce in different ways. In the season they bloom, if there is a windy day, the pollen will fly out of the flower onto the ground and act as a seed.

By making sure it has at least an 8-week dormant period of no water and cool darkness. Once you bring it into warm air and water it, it will bloom again.

I cut my leaves down and watered the plant every couple days, and it took two years to bloom. I live in Florida, the plant is potted in a plastic pot and left out year-round. The flowers are now beautiful and big. Don't give up on your plant.
