This amaryllis bulb comes coated in wax and is meant to bloom indoors during the winter holidays. The bulb has been stored at the optimal cold temperature, so it is ready to bloom when displayed indoors at room temperature.
It needs no watering, only ambient natural light. The stalk grows taller day by day, then bursts into bloom. It can be displayed in pairs or groupings on a mantel, coffee table or office desk.
Because of the wax coating, keep the bulb out of direct sunlight and away from heat, which can melt it. Cracks may appear as the stalk grows during blooming. This is normal for a living plant. After blooming, the coating can be removed and the bulb composted or planted.
