Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your amaryllis growing kit is straightforward, ensuring beautiful blooms with minimal effort. Upon receiving your kit, plant the charisma amaryllis bulb in the provided rustic tin pot using the professional growing medium. Position the bulb so that its top third remains above the soil line. After planting, water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Place the pot in a location that receives ample bright, indirect sunlight. A south-facing window is often ideal. While it will tolerate some shade, more light generally leads to stronger stems and more abundant blooms. The optimal indoor temperature range for amaryllis is between 65-75°F (18-24°C).

Water sparingly until the flower stalk begins to emerge, then increase watering frequency to keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid letting the pot sit in standing water, as this can lead to bulb rot. Once the plant is in full bloom, moving it to a slightly cooler location and out of direct sunlight can extend the life of the flowers. After blooming, you can continue with indoor amaryllis care by cutting off the spent flower stalk, but allow the foliage to remain and grow. This helps the bulb store energy for future blooms. Provide a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to nourish the bulb. With proper care, your amaryllis bulb can rebloom for many years, becoming a cherished part of your holiday traditions.

For reblooming, allow the foliage to grow throughout spring and summer, continuing to water and fertilize. In late summer or early fall, gradually reduce watering and allow the foliage to yellow and die back. Cut off the yellowed leaves, then store the bulb in a cool, dark place (around 50-55°F or 10-13°C) for 8-10 weeks. After this dormancy period, repot the bulb in fresh soil and begin the watering cycle again, placing it in a sunny spot to encourage new growth and another spectacular display from your amaryllis bulb kit.
