How do I get my amaryllis bulb to bloom in time for the holidays?
Solved! Go to Solution.
If the foliage on your amaryllis has died back and is dormant, now is the time to move the potted bulb to a warm (70F) location and to begin watering it.
New leaves and a flower stalk usually appear within 5 or 6 weeks -- just in time for the holidays.
If your amaryllis is still actively growing, it might send up a flower stalk even without a rest period, but it will do so on its own timetable.
