Your bulb in the garden in California may not go into a dormant period, depending where you are in California. Nornally it will bloom in May in the garden. Here in Sunset zone 15 they always go dormant when the weather cools. They are planted with 25% of the bulb above the soil in an area shaded from the west. Drip irrigation keeps them growing all summer. I remove the daughter bulbs and plant them separately. I do not fertilize the planting bed but do keep it fertile by additions of compost spring and fall. Red Lion is probably the most common of the Amaryllis sold for Christmas time blooming. Mine are several different cultivars received as Christmas gifts. Al

The answer to that is usually: It was planted in a spot that is too shady; it was not pruned twice per year; or it was propagated by cutting from a non-flowering parent. Modern wisterias should be grafted. Walls facing south or west are the best areas for planting wisteria. They need lots of light and sun. The soil must be rich; if it is not, you should amend it with well-rotted compost. Finally, pruning is important. Tie in all the stems you need to extend the plant where you want it, and snip off the rest of the stems to about finger length. Cut right above a bud. You do this around January time. Six months later, about July, you should prune it back about one foot. Then, the following January, you take it back to finger length again. Feed your wisteria once or twice per year with a high potash food. You can use rose fertiliser; it is rich in potash. You could feed once in February; and then again in June. It really depends upon where you live and how fast your plants start to come into active growth after winter dormancy. It also depends uponw which type of wisteria you have: wisteria floribunda or w. sinensis. It is late spring for Chinese wisteria (w. sinensis), or early summer for the floribunda. If your wisteria still does not produce much, I would think about replacing it. It probably has not been grafted. You could get one that is, and you check this by seeing if there is join somewhere along the main stem. It looks like a knobbly joint a few inches above the surface of the soil. Grafted ones have proven their flowering and will continue to do so with the right care.

You will have to keep it inside if your winters are cold. Citrus will die in freezing weather. I live where big commercial citrus orchards grow, but they do have turbines in the orchards, and you can hear those things miles away when a freeze hits. They are LOUD! But this is Southern California, and these trees are in ground. Mine are all outside in ground. We are in a microclimate, so the clouds generate snow now and then, and it drops, but it's too warm here for the snow to stick. The citrus are fine here outside. You MUST keep your plant inside. I'd harvest those oranges now and have fresh orange juice for breakfast. That will give the tree more energy to just grow.

My Florentina finally has some buds. I was ok with wairing until next year to see blooms so this is a nice surprise . She has a ton of foliage and I'm not sure how to deal with all the branches that are no where near the trellis.
