 Indoor Amaryllis
These bulbs are suitable for indoor forcing and extremely easy to grow
Planting Instructions
Put 2 inches of potting soil in a pot at least 6 inches in diameter. Set the Amaryllis bulb in the pot and spread out the roots. (Roots must remain undamaged.) Gently pack more potting soil between the roots and around the bulb, covering 2/3 of the bulb and leaving top third of the bulb above the soil line. Place in a sunny, warm location (70oF - 20oC) but avoid direct sunlight.
Watering Habits
Water Once with luck warm water when you first pot your Amaryllis bulb, then sparingly until you see the tip of the bulb appear. Then water regularly (do not over water) and you will soon be rewarded with spectacular blooms!
Height: 20"- 24"
