Amaryllis Plant(s)

Tips on how to grow and sustain your Amaryllis plant(s) for years to come!

Growing your Amaryllis plant(s):

1. Leave the neck of the bulb above the soil

2. Water lightly around the bulb and move it to a bright, warm spot (water around the base of the bulb, not over the top!)

3. Once your bulb produces a flower stalk you can water more frequently

4. Rotate the pot regularly to prevent the stalk from bending towards the light and toppling over

5. Snip off spent flowers to keep your plant looking its best

Sustaining your Amaryllis bloom every year:

1. When your Amaryllis has finished blooming, continue to water and fertilize (this will feed the bulb for next season's blooms)

2. Once all danger of frost has passed, move the bulb outside to a sunny location (avoid blistering west sun)

3. Continue to water and fertilize until late summer

4. Once the leaves begin to turn yellow, move the bulb to a cool, dark location such as a garden shed or garage. Stop watering and fertilizing.

5. Leave the bulb in this dormant state for 6-8 weeks

6. Bring it back into the house, cut off any yellowed stalks and start the process all over again!

Happy growing and blooming!
