Planting Instructions

Best Planting Season

• Indoor Planting: Perfect for planting indoors during the colder months, especially during the winter holidays when the plant is in bloom.

Ideal Location

• Light Requirements: Place in a bright location with indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight may cause the wax to melt or flowers to fade prematurely.
• Temperature: Thrives in indoor temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Keep away from cold drafts or direct heat sources like radiators.

Planting Details

• No Soil Required: Simply place the wax-coated bulb on a stable surface such as a tabletop or decorative base. The wax is all the plant needs to grow, providing nutrients during the blooming process.
• Stability: Ensure the bulb is placed in an area where it will remain upright as the flower stalks grow. Some people use decorative stands to keep the bulb balanced.

Care Instructions

Watering

• Watering Needs: The pre-waxed bulb does not require watering. The wax acts as a reservoir, providing the necessary moisture for the plant to grow and bloom.

Fertilizing

• No Fertilizing Needed: Since the wax bulb is pre-treated with nutrients, no additional fertilizing is required.

Pruning

• Deadheading: Once the flowers have faded, you can cut the flower stalk back to encourage the plant to rest. If growing multiple bulbs, deadheading may help the rest bloom more quickly.

Harvesting

• Flowers: The Easy-Care Red Wax Amaryllis is primarily grown for its beautiful blooms, so it is not typically harvested for cutting. However, you can cut the flowers to enjoy in a vase if desired, though this may reduce the plant's ability to continue blooming.

Storage

• Bulb Storage: After flowering, the wax bulb is typically discarded. Since the bulb is pre-coated and doesn't need to be stored in the ground, it’s designed as a one-time use. For those who wish to reuse the bulb in the future, it would need to be replanted in soil.

Culinary Uses

• Non-edible: This variety is ornamental and should not be consumed. The plant and bulb can be toxic to pets and children if ingested.
