Growing Instructions

To grow indoors: Expand the soil block included with the kit following the included directions. Fill approximately half the pot with the planting medium. Place the bulb on top of the soil, filling in with soil around the bulb to maintain its upright position. The top third of the bulb should be left exposed above the soil level, leaving room in the pot for watering. Place container in a warm location (70-75ºF) where the bulbs will receive indirect light.

After the amaryllis have bloomed indoors, water and fertilize regularly. When leaves start turning yellow, water only as needed to keep the soil moist until the foliage dies. Maintain indoors. When all danger of frost has passed and when the ground outdoors is workable, bulbs can be planted outside to naturalize in USDA hardy zones 8-11. In non-hardy zones, dig up bulbs just before frost. Let dormant amaryllis remain dry through summer. Cut off dry, yellowed foliage just above the bulb. Repot every 2-3 years.

Care Tip

Amaryllis blooms will last longer if the plant is moved to a cooler place at night (45-55ºF).
