For a Christmas blooming of your Amaryllis plant, follow through these steps:

• After the flowering period, cut the floral stems, keeping the leaves living by watering the soil (the soil has to be always moist).

• Stop fertilizing it since August.

• In September-October or when low temperature, remove the potted amaryllis in a dry and cool place and stop watering it. This will make the foliage drying and also force the amaryllis plant to produce a new flowering stem.

• It’s the moment when you have to resume the watering and replace the potted amaryllis in warmth and full light, even sun.

• As we said before, amaryllis flower stems always appear before the leaves.

So your Amaryllis will delight you and your house in Christmas.
