Amaryllis/Hippeastrum

what to do next?

12 years ago

I have an Amaryllis that I picked up on a whim from a local supermarket just before Christmas. It grew and bloomed like a champ and was gorgeous. The blooms have spent and been removed as instructed as well as three if the four leaves. There is one leaf still tall and green but none are growing. What should I do with it next. I want it to continue growing but it seems somewhat stagnant. Is this normal? please help!

Read the FAQ message to get started down the right track. DO NOT reply to the message. After you read that, you should be armed with the knowledge to get your bulb off to a great start! Glad it bloomed well for you...what color??
Don't know why you would have removed the leaves!! Now is the time to let it grow....READ>>>>READ!!!

Read the FAQ and in the mean time, keep the foliage growing and feed according to lable directions. Put outside after last frost has past and feed.
