My Amaryllis is not blooming, any suggestions?

I live in Puerto Rico. I planted my bulbs dormant, they bloomed the first year and have not rebloomed. That was 4 or 5 years ago. Do you think there is any chance that they will ever bloom? Should I try the cold treatment? Thanks Ellenp

I keep mine potted, but I don't do anything special to it. I don't make it go dormant, either. This year I forgot to bring it in and it got left out in the snow until January. I was very shocked when I saw new growth coming from the pot. I have never had it not bloom in the spring. Do you fertilize it? Bone meal is a needed nutrient for the bulb to produce a bud, though. How much sun does it get? too much shade may make it not set bud. I keep mine in mostly sun except for a few hours at midday. Hope this helps some.

Welcome to the Stew, by the way!

 

The ones that live in the ground here bloom in April usually, tons of sun.

 

Thanks so much I will try bone meal. they are pretty much in full sun.

 

I have Amaryrillis in the ground they have leafed out now I do hope they bloom this year usually in late March or early April.
