Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Peacock Amaryllis bulbs is a straightforward process that will ensure a bountiful bloom. Once your bulbs arrive, inspect them for any damage. Plant them in a well-draining pot, leaving the top third of the bulb exposed. Use a high-quality potting mix that drains freely to prevent rot. After planting, water thoroughly, then sparingly until growth appears.

Amaryllis thrive in bright, indirect light. If growing indoors, a south-facing window is ideal, but avoid direct, intense afternoon sun which can scorch the leaves. For outdoor planting, choose a location with morning sun and afternoon shade. Maintain a consistent watering schedule once growth has begun, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of bulb rot. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer once the flower stalk emerges. The ideal temperature range for active growth is between 65-75°F (18-24°C). After flowering, continue to water and fertilize to allow the foliage to grow and replenish the bulb for next season’s bloom. Many gardeners seek out the rare amaryllis varieties for their unique characteristics, and proper care will ensure these special bulbs flourish.
