How to root an amaryllis bulb.?
Question:
Answers:
Put it in water.
Put the bulb in a 6 inch flower pot, cover about 2/3 of the plant with soil.. any good, light potting soil will be fine, I have seen people grow them in pure peat moss.
If you are repotting a bulb, try not to disturb the existing roots, and don't over water or let the plant sit in water, as the bulbs can rot rather quickly.
Amaryllis are native to south Africa. If you live in zone 8 and up, Amaryllis can be planted outside, and will survive the winter. They have a definite growing cycle... blooming in spring followed by strap like leaves which may hold all summer or be shed for a summer dormancy in drought conditions. More leaves sprout in the cooler fall weather, then die down for the winter, and they will bloom next spring.
