How to Grow and Care for Double-Flowered Amaryllis Bulbs
-
Planting:
- Plant bulbs indoors 6-8 weeks before the desired bloom time, typically in late fall or early winter. If planting outdoors, wait until all danger of frost has passed.
- Use a well-draining potting mix, and plant the bulb so that the top third of the bulb is above the soil line.
- In pots, choose containers that are 1-2 inches larger than the bulb, ensuring the roots have room to grow.
-
Watering:
- Water the bulbs thoroughly after planting, ensuring the soil is moist but not soggy.
- Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, but avoid waterlogging, which can cause bulb rot.
- Once blooms begin to appear, water regularly to encourage continued flower production.
-
Lighting:
- Place the bulb in a bright, sunny location, as Amaryllis thrives in bright, indirect light.
- If growing indoors, ensure the bulb receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight each day for optimal growth.
-
Fertilizing:
- Feed the plants with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
- After flowering, reduce fertilization until the next growing season.
-
Post-Bloom Care:
- Once the flowers have faded, cut the flower stalks back to the base, but allow the leaves to continue growing.
- For indoor bulbs, allow the plant to rest after blooming by reducing watering and storing the bulb in a cool, dry place.
- For outdoor bulbs, continue caring for the plant until the growing season ends.
