Yes it should grow 2 flower stalks although often they don't.

Not only is it growing 2 flower stalks, but it looks like the year without spending energy growing flowers has really helped it to grow additional "babies".

I can count at least 10, maybe 11 or more, leaves coming from what will be bulblets off your main big one. Leave them like that for a year or two and you will have many more of that same variety that you can separate out and plant on its own.

I wasn't sure how that would work. Last summer there were so many "side shoots" coming up from around the bulb it was insane. I wasn't sure if they would become more bulbs or not. How will they develop into bulbs in that pot thought? There is only so much room there and that bulb takes up the majority of the space in the pot?

Amaryllis like being pot bound.

Yes....I know they do. But that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking HOW, if there is only a limited amount of space, is it going to be able to grow new bulbs?

All the bulblets I have seen are small at first. You would remove them and pot them up in their own pot so they could grow to a large bulb.

This thing is insane.....INCHES a day it's been growing.

How tall is this going to get?

The one that I have in bloom right now has a stalk that is 19". Mine usually get at least that tall and maybe a couple of inches taller.

that looks like its going to be a nice looking flower! and the little bulbs are starting sort of under the main bulb, so they do have a little room to grow. you can either pot up later on or start to separate - which reminds me i have no idea when you would do that - i have one little baby bulb starting on my plant - gotta go do a little research... though if a seedling bulb can start from nothing - i bet the offsets can survive once they get their own roots going. but as long as they are attached they get help from the mother bulb.

I can't believe how quick it's growing. I should finally have an open flower tomorrow! 14 months in the making and I finally get to see what they look like. Pictures to follow.....

It only took 19 days from the time I revived it from a dried out bulb in my basement to this beautiful display. Very impressive plant!

Yep amaryllises are definitely one of my favorite plants. I had some which didnt show signs of growth for almost the entire growing season but I kept watering it during the regular watering routine that I do, since the bulb was still feeling strong and firm. It finally got some leaves again in the fall.

Summer care is the ticket for amaryllis. Back in the day, lots of folks kept theirs after blooming in the brightest window they had and when the foliage yellowed out, allow the pots to dry off and then put them in a dark, unheated attic, until they were brought out for the next Christmas. Some oldtimers I have seen had a dozen pots they had accumulated over the years. Most people simply discard them when they are done flowering which is a pity. I have planted the bulbs out in the spring after all frost has passed and repotted them later for Christmas, although one has to be careful to get the timing right. If you unpot them to plant them out for the summer, you will have a chance to remove the babies when you dig the dormant bulbs. I have also seen bulbs get potted up into larger pots with the babies still attached. They still need to have their roots crowded though. Some of those pots may carry several bulbs blooming at once. That is a sight to see, but it takes more than a little work, a definite amount of skill and patience and a generous amount of luck.

I KNEW that it was going to be spectacular due to all of the summer time care. Especially when it started growing again mid summer after a lengthy time of just sitting around not putting out any new growth. Once it took off, and the bulb practically doubled in size, I knew I was going to get a bloom out of it when I finally revived it.

Im just surprised at how quick that bloom arrived!

You can leave everything together as a clump in a bigger pot. That's how they grow in the ground. I don't dig up & separate the babies.

I have decided this is the route I'm going to take with this. I'm just going to pot it up in a big clump and not separate the bulbs. I imagine when they all start blooming it would be amazing.

the baby bulbs will grow faster if left attached to the mother bulb. when they fall off without help when repotting, it is time to separate. may take a couple seasons.

Hi guys,

Is that bulb a red lion? If so, no wonder it grew so fast! Lions are fast and roar, I mean bloom really big. :)))

I thought it was going to be an apple blossom from the outside of the petals, but the inside of the petals is more red like Red Lion.

The second flower scape may not produce as big of blooms as the first, so some people don't let the second one flower. However, waiting all year for these flowers, I am one of those who do let it bloom as much as it wants. Now maybe if it came up with three scapes, I might not let the third one develop, but I'm good for letting 2 scapes grow and display their 8-10 flowers (more commonly 4 per stalk but occasionally something happens and there are 5-6 flowers)
