How do I get a waxed amaryllis to bloom?

Set it in a bright spot at room temperature and leave it alone. The wax seals in the moisture, so it needs no water or soil. A stem and blooms usually appear within a few weeks.

Does it need water or soil?

No. The bulb is sealed in wax with enough stored moisture to grow and flower. Watering it can rot the bulb, so keep it dry.

Can I plant it after it blooms?

No. The wax and trimmed roots mean it is grown as a one-time display. Once the flowers fade, the bulb is spent.

How long do the flowers last?

The white blooms typically stay open for a couple of weeks. Cooler room temperatures and indirect light help them last longer.

Yes, for someone who likes plants but not chores. It arrives ready to grow and needs no care, though it is a single stem rather than a full potted arrangement.
