Know before you buy
You can expect your Amaryllis to bloom within 40 to 60 days after planting. The exact timing depends on the light and temperature conditions in your home.
Plant the bulb in a well-draining pot with the top third of the bulb exposed above the soil line. Ensure the pot is just slightly larger than the bulb itself to prevent excess moisture from sitting around the roots.
Yes, this variety is suitable for outdoor planting in USDA Hardiness Zones 9 through 11. If you live in a cooler climate, it is best to keep it as an indoor houseplant.
The Amaryllis Exotica typically reaches a height of 20 to 24 inches. Because the blossoms are large and saucer-shaped, you may want to place the pot in a stable location or use a decorative stake if the stem begins to lean toward the light.
For indoor forcing, place the bulb in a spot that receives bright, direct light. If you are growing it outdoors in a suitable climate, it prefers a location with partial sun.
