At The Green Bottle Garden, we look forward to the holidays every year! And what's more synonymous with this time of year than the amaryllis? This unique bulb adds color and ambiance to the dark winter months and is the perfect Christmas gift, for yourself or to give as a gift under the tree. Whether you're looking for an amaryllis in a vase, or just the dried bulb in a vase, you'll want to bring your amaryllis into full bloom just in time for the holidays. Read on to discover how to care for your amaryllis bulb and get it in full bloom!
The special properties of a dry amaryllis bulb
Our Amaryllis in a vase Angelica is a "dry" bulb, meaning it doesn't need soil or water to bloom. These bulbs are pre-treated at the nursery and contain sufficient nutrients to bloom without any care. All this bulb needs is a bright, warm spot indoors. This makes this plant a wonderful gift for anyone, even those without green fingers or with a busy schedule.
An amaryllis bulb: the ultimate Christmas gift
With its large, radiant flowers in beautiful colors like red, white, and pink, the amaryllis brings warmth and vibrancy to your home. During the dark months of December, this flowering bulb is a wonderful symbol of pride, hope, and beauty. It perfectly complements the festive atmosphere and adds a warm aura that instantly enriches your interior. Place an amaryllis bulb in a vase in the living room, on the dining table, or on the windowsill, and enjoy the calming effect of this eye-catching centerpiece.
Steps to get your amaryllis bulb to bloom during the holidays
Want your amaryllis in full bloom around Christmas? Follow these tips to time the bloom perfectly:
- Place it in the right spot : Place the amaryllis bulb in a vase in a warm, bright spot, such as a windowsill with plenty of sunlight. Avoid cold or drafty locations to prevent disruption of flowering.
- Be patient: Buy your bulb in November and give it some time. It usually takes a few weeks for the flower stems to appear. Placing the bulb in a warm spot often encourages it to bloom faster, so you can enjoy its beauty around the holidays!
Tips to extend or speed up the flowering period of your amaryllis bulb
- Extend flowering : Place the bulb in a cooler spot if you want to delay flowering. This way, you can slow down the flowering process somewhat and ensure it's at its peak right around Christmas.
-
Accelerate flowering: Want it to bloom faster? Place it in a warm room so the flower stem emerges earlier. This way, you can perfectly time the peak blooming season during the holidays!
what to do with dead amaryllis?
Want to save your spent amaryllis bulb until next year and have it bloom again? With the right care, you can save it and have it bloom again next year. Follow these simple steps:
- After flowering: Cut off the spent flowers, but leave the stem and leaves. The plant will continue to produce leaves, which will nourish the bulb for new blooms.
- Care: Place the bulb in a pot with soil, water it regularly, and provide light. This allows the bulb to store nutrients throughout the spring and summer.
- Rest period: In September or October, place the bulb in a cool, dark place and temporarily stop watering. After 8 to 10 weeks of rest, move the bulb back to a bright, warm spot. This way, you can bring your spent amaryllis bulb back to bloom during next year's holidays!
