My amaryllis plants have brown portions on the leaves, and some are flopping over onto the walkway. Can they be trimmed now?
When amaryllis leaves get ugly or grow out of control, it’s time to prune. They can be trimmed back to within a few inches of the top of the bulb around February. Some gardeners say winter trimming increases flower production. It’s probably the rest period experienced during colder weather that in creases blooms.
