Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Picasso Burgundy Amaryllis bulb is remarkably simple, as it falls under the category of a no water amaryllis. The beauty of this product lies in its self-sufficiency. Upon arrival, simply unpackage your bulb and choose a suitable location. It does not require planting in soil or any form of watering. The extensive energy and moisture reserves within the large 36/+ cm bulb, protected by its wax coating, are more than sufficient to fuel its growth and blooming cycle. You might notice some growth cracks appearing in the wax as the flower stalks emerge and mature; this is a completely normal part of the process and indicates healthy development. These fascinating bulbs are designed to provide a spectacular floral display with minimal intervention.

For optimal growth and the most vibrant blooms, place your waxed amaryllis in a location that receives bright, indirect light. While it doesn’t need direct sunlight, a well-lit spot will encourage strong, upright growth of the flower stalks. Avoid placing it in direct, hot sunlight, which can prematurely dry out the bulb’s internal reserves, although this is less of a concern with waxed bulbs. Room temperature conditions, typically between 60-75°F (15-24°C), are ideal. Extreme cold or heat should be avoided. Once blooming, you can move the bulb to a slightly cooler location to help prolong the life of the flowers. There is no need for fertilization, as the bulb contains all the necessary nutrients. The only ‘care’ required is to sit back and enjoy the show! For those interested in the broader world of easy amaryllis care, this waxed version represents the pinnacle of simplicity.
