A new gardening question of the day appears every day of the year on the front page of Almanac.com. Below is the answer to one of the questions from our Gardening Questions and Answers Archive where you can find over 400 more gardening questions (with answers!).
I've tried forcing amaryllis bulbs to bloom indoors but without success. What might I be doing wrong?
These bulbs won't bloom if the pot is too large. Leave no more than an inch of space on either side of the bulb, and make sure that at least one-third of the bulb is showing above the soil line.
