Plant Care & Growing Tips

The beauty of the jumbo amaryllis bulb is its incredibly simple care routine, or rather, lack thereof. Since it’s a waxed amaryllis, all the necessary elements for growth are contained within the bulb itself, making it one of the easiest plants to cultivate for holiday blooms. For optimal results, simply place your bulb in a location where it can receive bright, indirect light. While direct sunlight is not strictly necessary for growth, a well-lit spot will encourage strong, upright stems and vibrant flowers. Avoid placing it in extremely hot or cold drafts, which can shock the bulb and hinder its development. An average room temperature, typically between 65-75°F (18-24°C), is ideal for encouraging blooming in this holiday amaryllis.

As mentioned, there’s no need to water or fertilize this particular amaryllis. The wax coating acts as a self-contained reservoir, providing all the moisture and nutrients the bulb requires. You might notice small cracks appearing in the wax as the flower stalks emerge and grow; this is completely normal and a sign of healthy development, not a defect. Do not attempt to water through these cracks or remove the wax. The coiled wire at the base ensures stability, so you won’t need to stake the plant unless the flower stalks become exceptionally tall and heavy, which is rare for these self-contained bulbs. After the flowers fade, the bulb has expended most of its energy and typically will not rebloom in its waxed state. Enjoy the spectacular show, and then you can compost the bulb or, for experienced gardeners, attempt to remove the wax and replant it for future seasons, though success is not guaranteed with waxed bulbs.
