FAQs
How long until my Amaryllis blooms?
You can expect blooms to appear 6 to 10 weeks after planting.
How much of the bulb should be covered by soil?
Only the bottom two-thirds of the bulb should be planted in the soil, leaving the top third exposed.
Can I move the plant outside?
Yes, after flowering is complete, you can move the plant to a sheltered, frost-free outdoor area during the summer.
Do I need to fertilize my Amaryllis?
Yes, regular feeding after the flowering phase helps the bulb store energy for the following year's growth.
What kind of light does the Cleopatra bulb need?
It performs best in bright, indirect light.
Troubleshooting
Bulb shows signs of rotting
This is likely caused by overwatering. Allow the soil to dry out significantly and reduce watering frequency until active growth resumes.
Flower stems are weak or leaning
The plant may not be receiving enough light. Move the pot to a location with brighter, indirect sunlight or stake the stem for extra support.
