Amaryllis With Dozen Small Bulbs

Question

I have an amaryllis bulb that was huge when I got it two years ago. Last winter I didn’t get a bloom, but I got lots of leaves growing all over. This year I took it out of cold storage and the big bulb has broken down into at least a dozen small bulbs about a inch across at the largest point. Will any of these ever bloom?

Answer 1

They typically multiply, but I didn't know the mother bulb disappeared! The offsets should grow and eventually bloom, but it may take two to three years. Here is more:
