Our Giant Amaryllis Bulbs make the perfect gift for everyone! And these “no planting, no watering” bulbs are also popular for decorating… on mantles, nestled in seasonal greenery, placed atop candle pillars, or in clusters for center pieces. Blooming for months, it’s the gift that keeps giving!

About the Bulbs… Our bulbs are all grown by one grower in the coastal desert valley of the Andean foothills. These giant bulbs typically produce multiple blooming stalks; each stalk has 4-8 large beautiful blooms.  (The size of bulb, the size of the blooms and the number of blooms will depend on the Amaryllis variety and the conditions during the growing period.) 

No Green Thumb Needed… These bulbs are cultivated to bloom with no planting and no watering.  The “easy-care” nature of these bulbs makes them the perfect gift to brighten hospital rooms, nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, and offices!

Blooming Cycle… The bulb blooming cycle is the period of time from when the first bloom opens until the last bloom (on the last stalk) opens.  Our bulbs typically have a minimum of two blooming stalks, but more likely, they’ll have three or even four.  Each stalk will then have multiple blooms.  The time from when the first bloom on the first stalk opens until the last bloom on the last stalk opens is typically 8-12 weeks.

Avoid putting bulbs right next to windows.  If they get too cold at night, it takes 12 hours or them to recover.  They will think it’s too cold to bloom.  The warmer room, the taller the stalks and the faster the blooms will open.

Room Temperature will Impact Growth…  Bulbs will sprout and bloom more quickly in warmer rooms with an ambient temp above 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bulb Care… As the blooms wilt, pinch them off.  Once all blooms on the stalk have wilted, cut that stalk down to the base, being careful not to cut other stalks or leaves. Repeat throughout the blooming cycle. (The blooming cycle is -- at minimum -- two months.)

NEVER add water to the bulb.  Adding water to a waxed bulb may cause the bulb to mold and preventing growth. 

Propping or Turning… As the bulb blooms, you may need to provide

support for the bulb to be steady.  If the stalk is leaning toward the

light source, then rotate the bulb to promote straight growth.

The Gift that Keeps Giving:  Once the blooming is done and no

more stalks grow  (wait at least 3 months to be sure), cut any wax

and peel off the moss.  Plant the now-shrunken bulb in a pot or in

the ground.  Let the leaves grow tall for “re-charging.”

DON’T THROW BULBS AWAY! THEY ARE STILL ALIVE!
