I find it best to divide and repot while dormant, so now would be fine.

Thank you for your help,will do so.

I think it's really a matter of preference. Some people like to have a large cluster of bulbs in one pot. If that is your preference, I'd pot the whole grouping into a pot that is large enough to allow the babies to grow. Otherwise, you can take some of the larger babies off and pot them on their own. I like the baby bulbs to get fairly big before planting them separately.

Thank you Berkeley for answering.how big should the babies get before removing them from main bulb?

I prefer for them to be about 1/3 to 1/2 as wide as the mother bulb. They are quite hardy and usually even the smaller ones will survive. However, they seem to grow more rapidly when they're undisturbed (at least the types I've had that have put off babies).

I have a Chico bulb that is putting off a lot of babies. I had to separate some of the bulbs though because the mother and babies had really bad red blotch. I'm running an experiment to see if I can successfully eradicate the red blotch with a combo of heat and bleach or heat and hydrogen peroxide. Unfortunately, red blotch is nasty stuff and I may lose all of the bulbs. Only time will tell!

Thank you Berkeley for answering.I will give the real small ones time to grow with mama.Sorry to hear about the red blotch.Hope you can get rid of it and save all your bulbs.I am not familiar with this disease,will research it.good luck.

Giving them extra time with mama will likely boost the speed at which they grow. A pot full of bulbs can be a gorgeous sight when it's in bloom!

Thank you for the hopeful thoughts on my red blotch issue! So far, things are looking good... but time will tell.

Berkeley I summer my plants outdoors and was thinking I would transplant the big baby bulbs when the plants go outside in June. These babies are 2 and 3 years old, and one popped a bloom last summer, so I think they are ready. I've had the mamas six years, I think they are Appleblossom. Will this work?

I would keep shifting them to bigger and bigger pot as the family grows.

It would definitely work to transplant the offset bulbs just before putting the plants outside for summer. Depending on how warm your area is in June, you may want to give all of the bulbs a little time to establish roots before they go outside. Brigarif Khan has a LOT of experience growing amaryllis. As he suggested, you may want to keep them potted together, that is just a matter of personal preference.

Thanks for your advice. I once had a 'Garden Party' that grew into a pretty clump like yours, but the ones I have now are different. I think I will take only one bulb from each in June and see how it goes. The plants love summering in the pachysandra bed, where they get 2 hours of midday sun and shade the rest of the day. I dry them down in September.
