How to grow Amaryllis

Amaryllis flower bulbs aren’t hard to grow, but you have to know when and where to plant them. Plant Amaryllis bulbs together with other spring bloomers in fall. If you’re too late to plant the bulbs in fall, wait until spring, after the chance of frost is over.

Amaryllis bulbs like both sun and shade locations, but tolerate somewhere in between, like partial shade. Too much sunlight can lead to leaf burn, and too much shade leads to fade flowering.

Amaryllis bulbs prefer well-drained soils. Improve the ground with organic compost or peat. Add nutrients for healthy growth.

Plant the bulbs with 1/3 of the bulb sticking up above ground level. Space the plants 12-15” (30-38 cm) apart. Of choose a pot that is 6-8” (15-20 cm) wide.

After planting, water regularly, to prevent drought. Established plants are fairly tolerant of drought. Don’t overwater, to prevent root rot.

It takes 6-8 weeks to bloom after planting; some Amaryllis can take as long as ten weeks. It takes longer, but it is totally worth the wait.
