I have 2 Amaryllis that were beautiful last Christmas season. I cut

see no change in the bulbs at all. They are in the original pots, do


I transplant them into something bigger? Any suggestions or just


spend another 5 bucks for a new one? MJ






You can keep them in the same small pots (how small are they?) for

years. An 8" azalea pot works really well, even when they get big.

They are 6 inch pots. Do they need to reach a certain "cold" to blossom? Maybe they weren't cold enough?
