Once the beautiful blooms have faded on your Amaryllis plants, the bloom stalks will need cutting if you are not letting the plant set seed pods. This will let the energy go into the production of the leaves to feed the bulb.
Thanks for the info. I got 4 bulbs right after Thanksgiving to use as Christmas decorations. All have bloomed a couple times & new shoots still starting. Now I know how to best trim off those stalks.

Thank you Dollybelle!
I had another difficult one to cut the other day, the leaves were curved around the stalk and here is how I used the cardboard to cut it, worked perfectly, no cut leaves.
I don't know how I ever missed this when it was first posted. This is an EXCELLENT tip!
