Why Choose Amaryllis Bulbs?

Amaryllis bulbs are famously low-maintenance. They thrive indoors with minimal care — ideal for beginners, busy people, and kids.

Unlike cut flowers, amaryllis bulbs can be saved and replanted. With simple care, they’ll bloom again season after season — more value for your money.

Watching your amaryllis grow — from sprout to bud to full bloom — brings a sense of peace, patience, and connection to nature.

• Use a pot about 6–8 inches deep with drainage holes.
• The bulb should fit snugly, with about an inch of space around the sides.
  

2. Add Soil

• Use The Bruce Company’s own blend of potting mix.
• Place the bulb with the pointed end up and the bottom two-thirds buried in soil.

3. Water Lightly

• Water once when planting.
• Then water sparingly until growth appears – just enough to keep the soil slightly moist.

4. Let the Light In

• Place in a warm, bright spot with indirect sunlight to speed up their growth.
• Once it starts growing, rotate the pot every few days to keep it growing straight.

5. Bloom Care

• Your amaryllis will bloom in about 6–8 weeks after planting. 

6. Rebloom Care

• Water and fertilize your amaryllis throughout the summer months.

• Around Labor Day, begin the dormancy process. Trim back the foliage and gently remove the bulb from its soil.

• Place the bulbs in a shallow box and store them in a cool, airy, dry, and dark place.

• In mid-November, replant the bulbs in fresh potting mix and water lightly.
