I Have A New Amaryllis Bulb That Produced Lots Of Huge Healthy Looking Leaves And Finally A Bud Is Starting To Appear. What Do I D

Question

o. I want the bud to bloom but am afraid all the energy is going to the leaves. The bud does not appear to be growing very fast. What do I do to get to full splendor blooms?

Answer 1

Usually the stem with buds appear before the leaves, but occasionally the leaves come first. Just keep it in bright, indirect light and water when top of soil is dry. Do not fertilize.
