Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper amaryllis bulb care ensures vigorous growth and abundant, long-lasting blooms. For this giant pink amaryllis bulb, start by planting it in a pot that is only slightly larger than the bulb itself, leaving about one-third of the bulb exposed above the soil line. Use a well-draining potting mix, as Amaryllis bulbs are susceptible to rot if left in soggy conditions. After planting, water thoroughly once, then withhold further watering until you see a new sprout emerge from the top of the bulb. This initial dry period helps stimulate root growth.

Once growth appears, move the pot to a location where it can receive bright, indirect light. A south-facing window with a sheer curtain or an east-facing window is often ideal. As the flower stalk begins to grow, increase watering, keeping the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer once the bloom stalk is several inches tall. The ideal temperature range for Amaryllis is between 65-75°F (18-24°C) during its active growing and blooming phase. After blooming, cut the spent flower stalk but leave the foliage intact. Continue to water and fertilize, allowing the leaves to gather energy for next year’s blooms. This is crucial for encouraging repeat flowering from your large amaryllis bulbs. In late summer or early fall, gradually reduce watering and allow the foliage to yellow and die back. Store the bulb in a cool, dark place for 8-10 weeks before re-potting and restarting the blooming cycle.
