1) Hibernate them in a cold room (10C or 50F) for 2 months. Dark, no water.
2) Keep them in a cold room (same as above) but light and enough water.
3) Keep them at 21C or whatever you have in the living room, put them in a dark corner and water very sparingly.
3) is how Bente's mother in Nuuk, Greenland, kept her amaryllis alive for 37 years, each of which it blossomed.
3) is the best way for most people, I think. Unless, like Kathryn, one has a conservatory.

Interesting. Is it similar to an aloe vera? Margaret L

Useful information thanks.
Tell me, I presume when you move to the big city you will not expect to
have agarden, but you will probably be keeping your precious Amaryllis
plants??

Not only them, but a huge aqua vera and tons of other plants. All my begonia rex are so beautiful, can't throw them out!
Just wrote a letter to a realtor connected to my bank, that is, the bank has some buildings and a lady to rent them out. Asked her to find me the largest apartment possible in the center of Copenhagen. I really AM naive!
