Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your amaryllis growing kit is straightforward, ensuring beautiful blooms with minimal effort. Upon arrival, unpack your kit and prepare for planting. The bulb should be potted in the included gold tin pot, ensuring about one-third to one-half of the bulb remains above the soil line. Use the professional growing medium provided, which is formulated to offer optimal drainage and nutrients. After planting, water thoroughly, then water sparingly until new growth appears. Overwatering before growth starts can lead to bulb rot.

Amaryllis thrive in bright, indirect light. Place your potted amaryllis in a sunny spot indoors, such as near a south-facing window, but avoid direct, intense afternoon sun which can scorch the leaves. Maintain consistent moisture once the stalk begins to grow, watering when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. The ideal indoor temperature for growing amaryllis is between 65-75°F (18-24°C). After blooming, continue to water and fertilize the plant to allow the leaves to grow and replenish the bulb for future blooms. The bulb size 14-16 ensures a strong start. For optimal growth, consider using a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks after the plant has bloomed and while the foliage is actively growing. This helps the bulb store energy for next season’s flowers. The ‘Red Lion’ variety is known for its vigor and relatively easy care, making it an excellent choice for those looking to grow amaryllis indoors successfully. This kit is designed for indoor cultivation across USDA zones 1-10, providing flexibility for many climates.
