Our take on the Amaryllis Bulb
A dormant amaryllis bulb sealed in wax, so it grows and blooms without soil or water. Set it out and it sends up a stalk with trumpet-shaped flowers in about 4 to 8 weeks. It suits gift-givers and people who want color with no upkeep, and it is simpler than a potted amaryllis kit that needs watering and a saucer. After bloom, the wax can come off and the bulb can go into soil to grow again.
- No soil, water or pot needed
- Blooms in roughly 4 to 8 weeks
- Trumpet-shaped flowers on a tall stalk
- Can be unwaxed and planted to regrow

Questions and answers
- How long until it blooms?
- Expect flowers in about 4 to 8 weeks after the bulb starts growing. Timing varies with warmth and light, so it can be slower in a cool room.
- Do I need to water it?
- No. The wax seals in moisture and the bulb's own stores feed the bloom, so it needs no soil or water while it grows.
- Can I keep it after it flowers?
- Yes. Remove the wax after blooming, plant the bulb in soil, and let the leaves grow to rebuild the bulb for a later season.
- How is it different from a potted amaryllis kit?
- A potted kit comes with soil and a pot and needs watering. A waxed bulb is self-contained and needs nothing, but you give up the ability to water or feed it during bloom.
- Where should I put it?
- A bright spot at room temperature works well. Keep it out of cold drafts and away from radiators so the stalk grows straight.
- Where is the Amaryllis Bulb cheapest?
- At Planted by the Sea, for $30.00, as of our latest check.
