Hippeastrum (commonly known as Amaryllis) are popular for their indoor holiday color and are often given as gifts from October through January. They are easy to grow and are impressive flowers. Their large blossoms can measure up to 8 in. across. They are guaranteed to produce large, vibrant blooms for you. As bulbs are essentially storage mechanisms, they already contain everything needed to produce flowers. They are tropical and subtropical. All you will need to do is plant them and water. But best of all, they can be induced to re-bloom indoors for years to come.

  • Hippeastrum (amaryllis) is a tender bulb and needs to be planted in pots indoors throughout most of North America, to grow indoors as a house plant proceed as follows: expand the soil block which comes with the kit, following the included directions, then fill about half the pot with the medium, set the bulb atop the soil, filling in with soil around the bulb to maintain its position, about the top third of the bulb should be left exposed above the soil level, leaving room in the pot for watering, amaryllis bulbs like room temperatures, and exposure to sunshine will keep them shorter, as the flower stalk grows towards the light, rotate the pot frequently to prevent toppling, sit back and enjoy
  • Some gardeners treat their amaryllis as annuals and simply toss them after flowering, however, they are fairly easily induced to re-flower next year, to re-grow follow these steps: after flowering, cut off the flower stalk just above the neck of the bulb, but be sure to leave the foliage, as it will play a critical role in rebuilding the bulb and prepare it for future blooming, place the pot in a sunny window, and only water when the soil is dry, fertilize regularly, after danger of frost, place pot outside until fall, when frost kills the leaves off, then having removed the foliage, let the potted bulb rest by storing it in a cool, dry place for 2.5-months, do not water it thereafter, restart the process as stated above
