Picotee Amaryllis

Picotee Amaryllis Bloom

A Bumpy Ride

The gift that keeps on giving! Featuring huge, frosty white petals edged in vivid red relief, our Picotee Amaryllis is sure to brighten your home even in the depths of winter. Each big beautiful bloom spans over 8" across. Easy to grow. Beautiful to watch. With proper care, amaryllis bulbs will bloom year after year. Follow our detailed instructions for years of holiday cheer!

PLACEMENT

  • Near a well-lit window (ideally east or west exposure).
  • Away from direct heat sources (65-70°F room temperatures are best).
  • On a protected surface (to prevent potential moisture damage to furniture).

WATER

  • Upon arrival: Moderately with lukewarm water.
  • Before buds appear: Water sparingly, keeping soil slightly moist
  • After buds and leaves appear: Gradually water more (a few times a week).
  • Avoid overwatering. Soil should not be soggy.

REBLOOMING

  • After initial bloom period, cut the flowering stalk to an inch or two above the bulb, keeping the leaves intact.
  • Transplant to a slightly larger pot with drainage holes, keeping original soil around the bulb.
  • Water as needed, when soil dries out. (We recommend adding a water-soluble fertilizer once a month.)
  • After danger of frost has passed in late spring, move potted amaryllis outdoors to a semi-shaded location. (You may also transplant to the garden if you prefer.)
  • In late summer, discontinue watering and fertilizing to allow the foliage to wither.
  • In the fall, cut off the dried leaves and move the amaryllis back indoors. (Repot if needed.)
  • Store in a cool, dark area for 6-8 weeks.
  • After resting period, move to a warm, well-lit area and resume watering once growth begins.

PLANTING

  • Choose a container 6-8" in diameter.
  • Use a well-draining soil mix. We recommend equal parts loam, sand and compost.
  • To jump-start your bulb's growth, soak in lukewarm water for 1 hour prior to planting.
  • Plant bulb (tapered side up), keeping top 1/3 of the bulb above the soil.
