AMARYLLIS
PLANTING
AND CARE
Amaryllis Quick Tips:
Planting Period: October until the end of April.
Flowering Period: Late December until the end of June.
Flowering time is 7-10 weeks.
Larger bulbs produce more flowers.
Always store un-planted bulbs in a cool place between 40-50 deg. F.
Amaryllis-One of a Kind
Of all flowering bulbs, amaryllis are the easiest to bring to bloom. This
can be accomplished indoors or out, and over an extended period of time.
The amaryllis originated in South America's tropical regions and has the
botanical name Hippeastrum. The large flowers and ease with which they can
be brought to bloom make amaryllis popular and in demand worldwide. The
amaryllis comes in many beautiful varieties including various shades of red,
white, pink, salmon and orange. There are also many striped and multicolored
varieties, usually combining shades of pink or red with white.
Preparation for Planting
The base and roots of the bulb should be placed in lukewarm water for a few hours.
Remember, if you cannot plant the bulbs immediately after receiving them, store
them at a cool temperature between 40-50 degrees F.
Planting
Plant bulbs in a nutritious potting compost, many are available pre-mixed. Plant
the bulb up to its neck in the potting compost, being careful not to damage the
roots. Press the soil down firmly to set the bulb securely in place after planting.
Placement and Watering
Plant the bulb, or place the potted bulb in a warm place with direct light since heat
is necessary for the development of the stems. The ideal temperature is 68 to 70
degrees F. Water sparingly until the stem appears, then, as the bud and leaves appear,
gradually water more. At this point, the stem will grow rapidly and flowers will develop
after it has reached full growth.
Flowering Period
Bulbs will flower in 7-10 weeks as a general rule. In winter the flowering time will
be longer than in spring. Set up your planting schedule between October and April with
this in mind. To achieve continuous bloom, plant at intervals of 2 weeks for stunning
color in your home or garden.
After-Bloom Care
After-Flowering.
After the amaryllis has stopped flowering, it can be made to flower again. Cut the old
flowers from the stem after flowering, and when the stem starts to sag, cut it back to
the top of the bulb.
Leaf Growth and Development.
Continue to water and fertilize as normal all summer, or for at least 5-6 months, allowing
the leaves to fully develop and grow. When the leaves begin to yellow, which normally occurs
in the early fall, cut the leaves back to about 2 inches from the top of the bulb and remove
the bulb from the soil.
Bulb Storage.
Clean the bulb and place it in a cool (40-50 deg. F), dark place such as the crisper of your
refrigerator for a minimum of 6 weeks. Caution: Do not store amaryllis bulbs in a refrigerator
that contains apples, this will sterilize the bulbs. Store the bulbs for a minimum of 6 weeks.
Plant Again.
After 6 weeks you may remove bulbs whenever you would like to plant them. Plant bulbs 8 weeks
before you would like them to bloom.
