FAQ’S

Here, you'll find answers to common questions about our beautiful, waxed amaryllis bulbs, including tips on care, growth, and display. Waxed amaryllises are designed for easy maintenance—no soil or watering required—making them a perfect gift or addition to any space. If you have questions about selecting, displaying, or maintaining these unique blooms, you're in the right place!

  • A waxed amaryllis bulb is a specially treated amaryllis bulb coated in a decorative layer of wax. This coating allows the bulb to grow and bloom without the need for soil or water.

  • Waxed amaryllis bulbs are extremely low maintenance. They don’t require any water, soil, or direct sunlight—simply place the bulb in a well-lit area, and it will grow on its own using the energy stored in the bulb.

  • No water is needed! The bulb contains all the nutrients and moisture it needs to bloom beautifully.

  • Waxed amaryllis bulbs thrive in indirect sunlight. A location with bright, indirect light, like a dining table or desk, is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight as it may cause the bulb to dry out or overheat.

  • After sprouting, the amaryllis will usually bloom within 4-12 weeks. Blooms can last several weeks, depending on room temperature and light conditions.

  • Waxed bulbs are typically designed for a single bloom cycle, as the wax coating prevents the bulb from following its natural growth and dormancy cycles. However, it is possible to try carefully removing the wax to see if the bulb can regrow. If you're looking for an amaryllis that can rebloom each season, we recommend choosing a non-waxed, potted amaryllis bulb, which is reusable and more suitable for continuous growth.

  • Waxed amaryllises can stand on their own or be placed in decorative vases, dishes, or containers for added support and a personalized look. Just make sure the bulb remains upright.

  • If the bloom starts leaning, try repositioning it in a supportive container or decorative holder to keep it stable. Alternatively, you can place small rocks or other decorative supports around the bulb’s base.

  • Amaryllis bulbs can be toxic if ingested by pets or children. Keep them out of reach to ensure safety.

  • Handle the bulb carefully, especially around the wax coating, which can crack if bumped or dropped. Cracks don’t harm the bulb itself or its blooming potential, though they may make it look a bit less aesthetically pleasing. Enjoy watching it grow and bloom!
