With big, beautiful blossoms, Amaryllis are a favorite bringing warmth and color into the home during the winter months.  These bold blooms originated in South America’s tropical regions, lending to their tropical look.  Waxed Amaryllis make thoughtful gifts for holiday hosts, friends, family, and more!

Your Waxed Amaryllis bulb will bloom in approximately 4 to 6 weeks.  Due to its waxed exterior, it does not require water to grow.  Simply place it in a sunny location (70-75°F) but avoid direct sunlight.  Periodically rotate the bulb to encourage the stem to grow straight.

  • No need to water
  • Handmade waxed bulb
  • Guaranteed to bloom
Care

For the Amaryllis to thrive, it requires well-draining soil, preferably a mix of peat, perlite, and potting soil. The bulb should be planted with about one-third of its height above the soil level. Place it in a location with bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent scorching. Adequate watering is crucial during the active growing period, but it is essential to allow the soil to dry slightly between watering. Once the flowers bloom, move the plant away from direct sunlight to prolong the flower's lifespan.

Growth Habit

Amaryllis is a perennial bulbous plant that can grow as an evergreen or deciduous, depending on the climate. In warmer regions, it may remain evergreen, while in cooler climates, it can be deciduous, losing its foliage during the winter. In zones where the temperature drops below freezing (usually below USDA zone 9), the bulb needs to be lifted and stored indoors during the winter months. The plant typically reaches a height of 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 cm), and the flowers can span up to 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 cm) in diameter.

Toxicity

The Amaryllis plant contains substances that may be toxic to humans and pets if ingested. As a precaution, it is best to keep the Amaryllis plant out of reach of children and pets and seek medical attention if accidental ingestion occurs.
