Well I had this red amaryllis plant which had never bloomed since the first time a couple of years ago. So I decided to uncover the bulb and discovered it had split into 5 bulbs! Here are the 5 new bulbs repotted. I will have to cut them back and let them hibernate in November and see what they do next January. After that I may be tired of all this. I am not a nursery after all, haha.

haha I have a bulb that is about 3 years old now and that's what it did this year-made more bulbs-must be a cycle they go through and the real small new bulbs need a year or two to get large enough to produce a flower stem
Such a surprise! I hope they do well.
So interesting. I am not good with plants.
They are growing and looking green
Neat that they split into more.
Do report back! I've never had an amaryllis before and I'm curious!
Kathy you are right this will take a couple of years hmm
Good luck
Great idea! I am looking forwsard to seeing how they develop. Happy weekend! Hugs!
Will they grow in the summer weather? The leaves do the photosynthesis and store that energy in the bulb in order for it to flower.
I have some in my garden!
Oh, maybe something will come of it!
Very pretty.
Such a marvelous discovery, Christine! I hope they prosper for you.
Blessings!
That's wonderful! Keeping my fingers crossed for you in the blooming area.
I hope they do well.
All the best Jan
Espero que se den. Te mando un nrdo.
Yes, gardening requires both effort and method.
I hope next year in this way you will have five blooming flowers!
That's great! When you plant them in the ground, they should store a lot of energy to give you some blooms in winter. Fingers crossed.
