Planting Instructions:
- Indoors: Plant the bulb in a pot that is slightly larger than the bulb itself, ensuring that about one-third of the bulb is above the soil line. Use a well-draining, light potting mix.
- Outdoors: In warmer climates, plant Amaryllis bulbs 4–6 inches deep in the soil, leaving the top of the bulb exposed. Space them 8–12 inches apart to allow for growth.
- Water the bulb well after planting, but avoid overwatering, as Amaryllis bulbs are susceptible to rot.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. For indoor plants, water when the top of the soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering after the flowers fade to allow the plant to enter a dormant phase.
- Fertilization: Fertilize once a month during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer or a slow-release bulb fertilizer to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
- Pruning: Once the flowers have faded, remove the spent blooms to prevent seed formation and encourage the plant to conserve energy for future blooming. Allow the foliage to die back naturally in the fall if grown outdoors.
- Dormancy: After the blooming period, let the bulb rest in a cool, dry location for 8–12 weeks to allow it to go dormant. For indoor plants, reduce watering during this time and store the bulb in a cool place to stimulate the next blooming cycle.
- Replanting: After the dormancy period, replant the bulb in fresh soil to encourage new growth and blooming.
