Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Amaryllis from this amaryllis bulb kit is surprisingly simple, making it a delightful project for all skill levels. Once you receive your kit, you’ll find the process straightforward. Begin by placing the provided planting medium into the gold ceramic pot. Position the large Amaryllis bulb so that about one-third of it remains above the soil line. Water thoroughly after planting, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is crucial to prevent bulb rot.

Place your minerva amaryllis bulb kit in a location that receives bright, indirect light. While Amaryllis can tolerate some direct morning sun, intense afternoon sun might scorch the leaves or fade the flower color. Maintain a consistent room temperature, ideally between 65-75°F (18-24°C). After the initial watering, allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering is the most common mistake with Amaryllis. Once the flower stalk emerges and begins to grow, you can increase watering slightly. Fertilization is generally not needed until after the plant has bloomed, at which point you can use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks to encourage leaf growth for next season’s blooms. After flowering, allow the leaves to continue growing to re-energize the bulb for future displays of giant amaryllis flowers.

After the Amaryllis has finished blooming, cut the flower stalk about an inch above the bulb. Continue to water and fertilize the plant as long as the leaves are green. In late summer or early fall, gradually reduce watering and allow the leaves to yellow and die back. This signals the start of the bulb’s dormancy period. Store the bulb in a cool, dark, dry place for 8-10 weeks. After this dormancy, you can repot the bulb in fresh soil and begin the watering cycle again, enjoying another spectacular display from your amaryllis ceramic pot.
