Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your amaryllis growing kit is a straightforward process that will reward you with spectacular blooms. Upon receiving your kit, plant the indoor amaryllis bulb in the provided rustic tin pot using the professional growing medium. Ensure about one-third of the bulb remains exposed above the soil line. After planting, water sparingly until new growth appears, then increase watering as the plant grows.

Amaryllis thrives in bright, indirect light indoors. Place your pot in a sunny spot, such as near a south-facing window, but avoid direct, intense sunlight which can scorch the leaves and flowers. Maintain consistent moisture in the soil, allowing the top inch to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to bulb rot. The ideal indoor temperature for growth and blooming is between 65-75°F (18-24°C). While typically grown indoors, if you live in USDA Zones 9-10, you might consider moving it outdoors in late spring once all danger of frost has passed, bringing it back inside before temperatures drop in the fall. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks after the flower stalk emerges, using a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. After blooming, cut the flower stalk back to about an inch above the bulb, but allow the leaves to continue growing to re-energize the bulb for next season’s blooms.

The cherry blossom amaryllis is generally hardy, but watch for common pests like spider mites or mealybugs, especially in dry indoor conditions. Address these promptly with insecticidal soap if necessary. Proper care ensures your bulb can be coaxed into re-blooming year after year, providing continuous enjoyment from your initial amaryllis gift kit.
