Use and Care Instructions:
- Placement:
- Waxed bulb amaryllis can be placed in a variety of settings, including indoor spaces like living rooms, dining areas, or office desks. They can also be displayed outdoors, provided the climate is suitable.
- Light:
- Place the amaryllis in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can cause the wax to melt and damage the plant.
- Temperature:
- Keep the plant in a room with temperatures ranging from 60-70°F (15-21°C). Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or cold, as this can stress the plant.
- Fertilizing:
- Fertilization is not necessary for the waxed bulb amaryllis during its blooming period. The nutrients required for flowering are stored within the bulb.
- Blooming:
- The waxed bulb amaryllis will produce large, showy blooms typically within 4-8 weeks after the bulb has been placed in water. Once the flowers open, they can last for several weeks.
- After Flowering:
- After the flowers have faded, you can remove the spent blooms. If you wish to encourage the bulb to flower again, you can let the foliage continue to grow. Place the bulb in a bright location.
- Reflowering:
- With proper care, the waxed bulb amaryllis can be encouraged to bloom again in future seasons. Allow the foliage to continue growing and follow the care instructions above. After a period of dormancy, typically in the fall, you can initiate a new flowering cycle by providing the bulb with water and light.
By following these care instructions, you can enjoy the beauty of the waxed bulb amaryllis for seasons to come.
Proud Products Guarantee!!
Plants from Daylily Nursery are guaranteed to arrive healthy and green. If you have any concerns or are dissatisfied within the first five days of receiving your plants, please email or call our office. If your plants have received less-than-ideal care or were purchased for planting outside of your recommended growing zone, your purchase isn’t covered by our guarantee. Zone recommendations are provided in our listings.
Use your best judgment before ordering during unusually hot or cold weather (below 32 degrees F, or in excess of 95F for shipping purposes), as these extremes may leave your plant vulnerable to damage. The optimal time for planting for most of our material is in mid to late spring, past the danger of hard frost. This allows your plants the longest possible growing season. Summer and very early fall are also suitable, as long as your plant is placed in optimal conditions and receives adequate water. Late fall and winter are very risky in most areas. When in doubt about suitable planting times or zone compatible plants for your area, reach out to your local Agricultural Extension Office.
If issues with your plants arise within the first 30 days of receipt, please email or call our office. Our knowledgeable staff will review your concerns and provide guidance and troubleshooting, or a one-time replacement if necessary. The customer assumes responsibility for the cost of shipping the replacement. Happy Planting!
