Answer: If needed, amaryllis may be divided in October through mid-November or late February through mid-March. Lift the clumps of bulbs carefully so as not to damage the bulbs in the process. Try to get most of the roots attached to the bulbs. A garden fork works well as it will not cut through the roots.
Also, when should I pull my amaryllis bulbs?
Amaryllis plants are tender and must be lifted in fall, before a hard freeze kills the bulb. How early you lift them depends on whether you are trying to time their bloom. For holiday flowers, you'll be digging bulbs in mid-August.
- Snip off the flower stems about 1/2" from the bulb.
- Place your plants on sunny windowsills so the leaves can gather light, photosynthesize, and provide nourishment to the bulbs.
- Keep watering your plants so the soil says lightly moist, but never soggy.
Besides, when can amaryllis be transplanted?
If you want your plant to flower during the spring season, the best time to transplant it is late September or early October. Planting amaryllis is simple and can be handled easily by people who have just started trying their hands out in gardening.
If you want to keep the bulb to grow again, this is also the time to start a weak monthly balanced liquid feed. To ensure your amaryllis bulbs flower next year, you need to encourage the foliage to photosynthesise as long as possible. These plants are not hardy so don't plant them out in the garden.
