Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your amaryllis growing kit is straightforward, ensuring a beautiful bloom. Once planted, place the pot in a sunny location indoors. Amaryllis thrives in bright, indirect light. A south-facing window is often ideal. After planting, water sparingly until you see about 2 inches of new growth. Overwatering before growth appears can lead to bulb rot. Once growth is established, water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. The professional growing medium included in the kit provides excellent drainage and nutrients.

The optimal indoor temperature for your amaryllis holiday gift is between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid placing the plant near cold drafts or direct heat sources. Your double king amaryllis bulb will typically bloom within 30-45 days after planting. After the flowers fade, cut the flower stalk about an inch above the bulb, but leave the foliage intact. Continue to water and fertilize the plant to allow the leaves to replenish the bulb for next year’s blooms. As an indoor amaryllis plant, it’s crucial to ensure it receives adequate sunlight to store energy for future flowering cycles. This attention to detail will ensure your Amaryllis returns to delight you season after season.
