Growing Information

Light Requirements: Place in a bright indoor location with indirect light or gentle sunlight. Rotate the pot periodically to encourage upright growth.

Watering: Water sparingly until active growth begins, then water when the upper layer of soil starts to dry. Avoid overwatering and never allow the bulb to sit in standing water inside the decorative cover.

Planting: Keep the upper portion of the bulb exposed above the soil line when planting in a suitable potting mix. Ensure the growing pot has drainage holes.

Maintenance: As flower stems develop, provide bright light and rotate the pot as needed. Support tall stems if necessary and remove spent flowers once they fade.

Long-Term Care: After flowering, keep the foliage growing in a bright location and provide regular care so the bulb can replenish its energy. With suitable growing conditions and a rest period, amaryllis bulbs can flower again in future seasons.
