Van Engelen Amaryllis First Love

Yes, these bulbs are shipped bareroot and are ready for potting as soon as you receive them. Since they are bred for holiday flowering, planting them in autumn will ensure they bloom during the winter season.

You should use a pot that is only slightly larger than the bulb itself, leaving about an inch of space between the bulb and the pot rim. Ensure the container has drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the base of the bulb, which can cause rot.

Each bulb is capable of producing multiple flowering stems in succession. With proper care and consistent light, you can enjoy a prolonged display of these large, 8-inch double blooms throughout the winter.

You can expect the stems to reach between 10 and 12 inches in height. Their compact size makes them an excellent choice for tabletops, windowsills, or other indoor spaces where you want to add seasonal color.

Once potted, place your Amaryllis in a spot that receives bright, indirect light. While they don't need direct sun to bloom, consistent light helps keep the stems sturdy and prevents them from leaning toward the light source.
