Amaryllis Dormancy Prep

Terry mentioned that we may have frost soon - so I decided to take my four amaryllis bulbs out of the pots they've been in all summer (outdoors), shake off the dirt...


...  trim their roots, and put them in the basement, in a paper bag, to lie dormant for several months, before repotting them in fresh soil.

 


One website suggested repotting them several weeks apart - to lengthen one's enjoyment of the flowers. I may try that, even though last year, only two of the four bloomed...

But for now, I'll just put reminders on my calendar - to remind me when to repot them.
