Know before you buy
Each 'Emerald' bulb is guaranteed to produce at least two stems, though it is common for them to produce three. These stems can reach up to two feet in height.
You can typically expect your bulb to bloom within 8 to 10 weeks after arrival. Success depends on providing consistent warmth and bright, indirect light.
Yes, the 'Emerald' is not a one-time bloom. By maintaining the foliage after the flowers fade and providing proper care, you can encourage the bulb to store energy and bloom again in future years.
Place your bulb in a spot with bright, indirect light and keep the soil lightly moist. Avoid overwatering, as the bulb should not sit in standing water, which can lead to rot.
Unlike traditional red varieties, the 'Emerald' features sophisticated light green petals with subtle white and red accents. It offers a more modern, understated aesthetic for winter indoor displays.
