Amaryllis, will it produce seeds?

Ergates · February 2022

This amaryllis flower has died off, and I was going to cut it back. However, it does look as if it is planning to produce some seeds. Is it worth leaving it as it is and see what happens? I can move it off to the garage windowsill, where it doesn’t matter what it looks like. Does it need feeding or anything?

I think it's worth leaving and see what happens Ergates. It would be an interesting experiment and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you had some bulbils develop.

Thanks Uff. I’ve been reading up on their requirements, and I’d better banish it to the garage quickly, where there is less chance of me overwatering it. I’ll let you know how it gets on after a few months!

Thanks, Uff. That’s a much better article than the ones I found. Certainly sounds worth a try.
