Growing GuideAmaryllis Planting Instructions

1. Place soil disc in a bowl and add warm water (see instructions on disc for required measurement). Set aside until water is completely absorbed by the compressed disc. Loosen soil.

2. Pot the Amaryllis bulb leaving the top third of the bulb exposed.

3. Place in or near a bright window with indirect sunlight.

4. Water once with luke warm water when you first pot up your Amaryllis bulb, then sparingly until you see the tip of the bud appear.

Planting Tips

If the bulb has already started growing, plant as soon as possible and the bulb will straighten itself out. Keep from drafty doors and windows. Spread decorative stone or marbles over the soil for a finished look and to prevent tipping when in full bloom. Cut off spent stalks. Additional stalks may appear as others fade. Amaryllis are tropical bulbs and prefer temperatures around 70° F (20°c). All plants grow towards light. Turning the pot or planter regularly will ensure straight stems. Plant multiple kits in two week intervals for a constant parade of color during the winter months.

Aftercare

When blooms fade, cut off the tubular flower stems near the top of the bulb, leaving the foliage to continue growing. Water as usual and apply a water-soluble fertilizer every four weeks. Once the danger of frost has passed place your Amaryllis outdoors in your garden where it can enjoy the summer sun. Be sure to continue your fertilizer program every four weeks as this is necessary for the next round of indoor forcing. Bring your Amaryllis inside at the end of summer and allow the bulb to completely dry out by storing it in a cool dry place. About 5-8 weeks before you want the amaryllis to flower again, repot the bulb in fresh pottings soil and resume watering as instructed above.

Paperwhites Planting Instructions1.Place soil disc in a bowl and add warm water (see instructions on disc for required measurement). Set aside until water is completely absorbed by the compressed disc. Loosen soil.

2. Place the bulbs with wide bottoms down and the top 1” of each bulb above the soil line.

3. Place pot in a sunny or very bright location.

4. Water once with luke warm water when you first pot up your paperwhites.Keep slightly moist as the bulbs start to develop, do not overwater.

Planting TipsPlant bulbs closely together, almost touching for the most floriferous display. Spread decorative stone or marbles over the soil for a finished look and to prevent tipping when in full bloom. Placing Paperwhites in a cooler spot (45-55° F) (7-13°C) directly after planting for 3 to 4 weeks will result in more compact growth. Paperwhites are tropical bulbs and prefer temperatures around 70° F (20°c). All plants grow towards light. Turning the pot regularly will ensure straight stems. Plant bulbs in two week intervals for a constant parade of flowers during the winter months.

AftercarePaperwhites can be grown in the garden in areas that are frost-free. After blooming indoors find a sunny spot in the garden with well draining soil. When transplanting handle the bulbs with care making sure that the roots remain intact. Water well. Fertilize bulbs at transplant and again in early fall.
