Post-bloom amaryllis care encompasses a series of actions designed to encourage the bulb to store energy for future flowering. This involves cutting back the spent flower stalks, providing adequate light and water, and potentially initiating a dormant period. The goal is to facilitate photosynthesis and nutrient accumulation within the bulb.
Proper care after the flowering period is crucial for the long-term health and vitality of the amaryllis bulb. Neglecting these steps can result in diminished or absent blooms in subsequent seasons. This practice ensures the bulb remains a viable source of future floral displays, aligning with its inherent biological cycle.
