Do waxed amaryllis bulbs really need no water?

Correct. The wax coating seals in the moisture and nutrients the bulb needs, so you never add soil or water. Just set it in bright, indirect light and let it grow.

How long until it blooms, and how long do the flowers last?

Timing depends on the bulb, but once stalks and buds appear the white flowers typically last 4 to 8 weeks. Stalks usually reach 18 to 24 inches.

Can I plant the bulb after it finishes blooming?

No. A waxed bulb is grown for one bloom cycle and is spent afterward. For a bulb you can keep and replant, choose an unwaxed one.

Where should I put it?

Indoors in bright, indirect light. Direct sun can overheat the wax, and dim corners produce weak, leggy stalks.

Two waxed white amaryllis bulbs in the 36/38 size. No pot, soil or water is included or needed.

Is the 36/38 size worth choosing over smaller bulbs?

The 36/38 grade is a large bulb, which generally means sturdier growth and more than one flower stalk. Smaller grades tend to give a single, shorter stalk.

Our take on the White Waxed Amaryllis Bulb 36/38 2-Pack

A two-pack of white amaryllis bulbs sealed in wax, so they need no soil or water and draw everything from the coating. The 36/38 bulb size is a large grade that typically pushes up multiple stalks reaching 18 to 24 inches, with white blooms lasting 4 to 8 weeks indoors in bright, indirect light. It suits people who want a low-effort holiday centerpiece or gift rather than a potted plant to tend. Against bare bulbs and potted kits, it trades the ability to replant for near-zero care, and the wax seal means the bulb is spent after its bloom.
