Question

but waited a long time for the leaves to die off. Then put it in a paper bag, in the dark garage in the Chgo winter. Now, I have incredible leaves, but no flower. Is there a way to get this Amaryllis to recover?

Answer 1

Make sure that your potting mix doesn't contain too much nitrogen! You may need to offset with some phosphorus and potassium in order to get some blooms!
