Tips for Growing Amaryllis Indoors
If you’re gifting amaryllis or growing one yourself, here are some quick tips to help ensure they bloom beautifully:
- Light – Place the plant in a sunny spot, ideally with indirect sunlight. A south-facing window works well.
- Watering – Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water sparingly at first, then gradually increase once the sprout appears.
- Temperature – Amaryllis bulbs prefer a warm environment of around 65-75°F to encourage growth.
- Fertilizing – A balanced, all-purpose fertilizer applied once a month will help the bulb bloom more robustly.

Amaryllis Care After Blooming
Once your amaryllis has finished flowering, you can save the bulb for another season! Simply allow the leaves to continue growing, as they help store energy for next year’s bloom. Trim the leaves once they yellow, and store the bulb in a cool, dark place for 8-10 weeks before replanting.
