Know before you buy
You can expect the flower stems to emerge and bloom approximately 8 to 10 weeks after potting, provided the bulb is kept in a warm environment with bright, indirect light.
Each premium-grade bulb is guaranteed to produce at least two flower stems, with each stem typically bearing four individual star-shaped blossoms.
These bulbs are suitable for outdoor planting only in USDA Hardiness Zones 8 through 10. In cooler climates, they should be grown exclusively as indoor houseplants.
Yes, with proper care and a period of dormancy, you can encourage your Amaryllis to rebloom annually. After the flowers fade, continue to water and fertilize the foliage so the bulb can store energy for the next season.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the bulb itself, leaving about one to two inches of space between the bulb and the container wall. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent the bulb from sitting in water.
