Why Amaryllis Not Blooming
Hi Bruce, your Amaryllis bulbs haven’t saved enough energy from the sun to bloom so all they can do is grow leaves as solar collectors.
The good news is that if you let the leaves grow and gradually die off, your bulbs should be able to bloom in their next growing cycle.
After letting your bulbs rest for a couple of months without watering, replant them in new soil and watch the bulb tops. If they have enough stored energy a bud will start growing. If not, you will have more leaves to help collect sun.
Be patient, they are well worth the wait!
