I use age old grow.... gets my AVs blooming every time I use it. Otherwise I use a 1/4 strength balanced fert every time I water. Keeps everyone growing green and happy. Due to me having many phals, I use a urea-free fert, but everyone gets it, not just the phals.

Worm casings, fish emulsion, seaweed extract, rabbit poop, manure, compost. But for the most part I just forget. Dang plants grow fast enough without my help.
Tally Ho!

I learned a little something about fertilizer as well as mediums... and I found out that it's very important that whatever you use is immediately available to your plants' roots for uptake. Many times, an organic fertilizer needs to be further broken down before it can be utilized, and that's fine when you use it in the garden... the garden has worms, nematodes, bacterias, fungi, and other micro-organisms that work together constantly breaking down and decomposing the environment around them.

The same environment does not exist within the confines of a container... so take care what you use as feed.

I use a regular liquid fertilizer and also micro-nutrients.

I don't want to discourage the use of organic feeds... just encourage the study of what you're using to make certain it's usable for your bulbs.

I have three bulbs which last blossomed 2 years ago. The year after I let them dry out and this year (spring summer) had them is same pot outside. They all seemed to start out OK, with the stems looking good and all of a sudden they seemed to die off. Now they appear as if they are on the way back. I removed from original pot, peeled away dead layers,repotted in a larger pot with Scotts mixture potting mix. I have read here on the various fertilizers to use. Am I on the right direction to see blossoms by Dec???

I'm affixing a link that will give you the information you need in order to get your bulbs to bloom again. It will give you the basics and step by steps so you can enjoy your bulbs every year.

If you do some reading here in the forum, you'll learn what others are using as medium, fertilizers, and what specifics they follow for yearly blooms.

I, myself, treat my bulbs as regular houseplants, caring for them as necessary and allowing them to bloom on their own natural schedule, which is spring to early summer.

I use a regular liquid houseplant feed, but the medium I use is an inorganic, bonsai-like, porous mix of pine bark fines, granite chips, and perlite. It doesn't break down and collapse, allows for good oxygen and gas exchange for the roots, and drains very well and fast. I also use supplemental lighting, and I keep my bulbs indoors all year.

There are a few different ways to grow hippeastrum bulbs, and because of our individual environments, not everything will work for everyone. Certain things will need to be adjusted depending on your individual growing conditions.
