Planting Instructions
Best Planting Season
- Indoor Planting: Ideal for indoor placement during colder months, especially in the winter for a burst of color or as a seasonal gift.
Ideal Location
- Light Requirements: Place in a bright area with indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight as it can cause the wax to melt or the blooms to fade.
- Temperature: Grows best at room temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Keep away from cold drafts or direct heat sources like radiators.
Planting Details
- No Soil Needed: The bulb is already coated with wax, which provides all the necessary nutrients. Just place it in a stable location where it will stand upright while the flower stalk grows.
- Stability: Ensure the bulb is placed securely to avoid tipping as the flower stalks can become top-heavy.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Watering Needs: No watering is needed. The wax bulb provides moisture and nutrients to the plant as it grows and blooms.
Fertilizing
- No Fertilizing Needed: The pre-waxed bulb is already treated with nutrients and doesn’t require additional fertilizing.
Pruning
- Deadheading: Once the flowers have faded, you can trim the flower stalk to encourage the plant to rest. This will help the bulb prepare for any future blooming seasons if you wish to store it for reuse.
Harvesting
- Flowers: This variety is primarily ornamental, and while it is not typically harvested for cutting, the blooms can be used in arrangements if desired. Keep in mind that cutting the blooms may reduce the longevity of the flowering period.
Storage
- Bulb Storage: Once the blooms have faded, you can discard the bulb, as the wax coating is designed for one-time use. For anyone interested in reusing the bulb, replanting in soil would be necessary after the blooming cycle is complete.
Culinary Uses
- Non-edible: This variety of Amaryllis is ornamental and not intended for consumption. It is also considered toxic to pets and children if ingested.
