Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your moss coated amaryllis bulb is remarkably simple, as much of the work has been done for you. The primary requirement is to choose an appropriate location within your home. Place the bulb in a spot where it receives bright, indirect light. While it doesn’t need direct harsh sunlight, a well-lit area will encourage stronger growth and more vibrant blooms. Avoid placing it in direct, scorching sunlight, which can prematurely dry out the bulb or fade the flowers. A north or east-facing window is often ideal, or a spot a few feet away from a south or west-facing window.

Temperature is another important factor. Amaryllis thrives in average room temperatures, ideally between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid placing the bulb near cold drafts from windows or doors, or close to heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as extreme temperature fluctuations can stress the bulb. Humidity is not a major concern for this type of amaryllis, as it is self-contained. Remember, the key benefit of this innovation is that you do not need to water it at all. The bulb’s natural reserves and the protective moss coating provide everything it needs. You might observe some growth cracks in the moss as the flower stalks emerge; this is a natural part of the growth process and does not harm the plant or its blooms. Enjoy your amaryllis without water!

Once the flowers have faded, you can choose to discard the bulb or attempt to rebloom it. Reblooming a holiday amaryllis of this type is more challenging, as the bulb has expended significant energy without external replenishment. If you wish to try, carefully remove the moss and plant the bulb in well-draining potting mix, allowing the top third of the bulb to remain exposed. Follow traditional amaryllis care instructions for light, water, and feeding to encourage new growth.
