  • Amaryllis plants are grown from bulbs. 
  • Most amaryllis will produce two or more flowers at a time. 
  • Flowers are roughly 8-9” in diameter and rest on long 2” thick stems.
  • When planting a bulb, make sure that 1/3 of the bulb is above the soil and water thoroughly. 
  • Place in a warm location (70-75° F).
  • After sprouting, water and fertilize regularly.
  • Once sprouting begins, you can expect to see flowers in 6-8 weeks.
  • Rotate your amaryllis regularly to encourage straight stem growth. 
  • Once your amaryllis begins to open, move it to a slightly cooler location (65° F). 
  • When the flowers begin to fade, cut off the stem to encourage new growth.
