Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Amaryllis bulb is a rewarding experience, leading to spectacular blooms. Once your bulb arrives, choose a sturdy pot that is approximately 1-2 inches wider than the bulb itself, ensuring good drainage. Plant the bulb with its top third exposed above the soil line, using a well-draining potting mix. After planting, water thoroughly once, then sparingly until the new growth begins to emerge. Overwatering before growth starts can lead to bulb rot. Place your potted Amaryllis in a location that receives bright, indirect light, such as a south-facing window. A consistent room temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C) is ideal for optimal growth and flowering. As the flower stalk begins to grow, rotate the pot regularly to encourage straight growth towards the light source.

Once the flower stalk is actively growing, increase watering frequency, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. You can begin to fertilize every 2-4 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer once the flower stalk is about 6-8 inches tall. After blooming, cut the spent flower stalk near the top of the bulb, but allow the foliage to continue growing. The leaves are crucial for photosynthesizing and storing energy for the next year’s blooms. Continue to water and fertilize regularly throughout the spring and summer. To encourage repeat blooming, allow the bulb to enter a dormancy period. In late summer or early fall, gradually reduce watering and stop fertilizing. Once the leaves yellow and die back, cut them off and move the bulb to a cool, dark, dry place (around 50-55°F or 10-13°C) for 8-12 weeks. After this dormancy, you can repot the large Amaryllis bulb in fresh soil and restart the cycle of growth and bloom. Remember, this indoor flowering bulb is not cold hardy and must be protected from freezing temperatures.
