How to Plant & Care For Amaryllis Bulbs
Planting and caring for Amaryllis bulbs is simple and rewarding:
-
Indoors:
- Plant in a pot slightly larger than the bulb, leaving the top third of the bulb exposed
- Use well-draining potting mix
- Place in bright, indirect light and water sparingly until growth appears
- Once growing, water regularly but let the soil dry out slightly between waterings
- Rotate the pot to encourage even growth
-
Outdoors (Zones 8–11):
- Plant bulbs with the neck above soil level
- Choose a full sun to partial shade location
- Water during dry spells, but avoid soggy soils
- Mulch with arborist mulch to maintain even moisture
- Use the Finger Test to monitor soil moisture and prevent overwatering.
After blooming, allow the foliage to grow and recharge the bulb for next season. Bulbs can be rested and stored for future blooming cycles. For more care and bulb storage info, check out our Garden Blog!
