Peruvian Amaryllis Bulb

These Peruvian amaryllis bulbs are in the ground three years before ever being harvested.  The beauty of our bulbs is that they don’t need to be planted or watered; they are perfect for urban environments, apartments, lofts, and homes of any kind.  These bulbs have all the energy and water in them to complete the blooming cycle!

• The bulbs are activated by temperatures of 70 F or more. The higher the temperature, the faster the blooming.

• If the bulbs are showing any greenery, they should have their first open flowers in 4-6 weeks. If they are still dormant, they should have their first open flowers in 6-8 weeks.

• Light isn’t necessary for blooming but is important for photosynthesis (making the stalks and leaves green). This will naturally happen in natural or synthetic light.

• As the bulbs bloom, the water moves from the bulb into the stalks and flowers, making the bulbs top-heavy. As they bloom, they may require more support to be steady. Also, bulbs should be rotated to promote straight growth, if their light source comes from one direction.

• These bulbs have a minimum of 2 stalks and the majority have 3-4 blooming stalks, with a total bloom cycle of 10-14 weeks.

• Once the flowering is finished it is possible to remove the wax coating, and plant and grow the bulb, just like any other amaryllis bulb.
