What do you do with waxed amaryllis bulbs after they bloom? ›

✂️ Peel off the wax and snip any faded flowers. Leave the stem and leaves. ☀️ Plant your amaryllis bulb in standard potting soil (make sure that container has drainage!) and care for it as you would any other houseplant. Place it in a sunny window and water it and fertilize it regularly through spring and summer.

The beautiful amaryllis flower is just one of the many symbols in God's great, vast, expansive creation that reminds us that we can hope in our Creator. The earthy and stringy bulb shows us that God can bring beauty from any person, anything, at anytime, during any season.

After your plant has finished blooming, place it in the sunniest possible location indoors. It will continue to grow long, smooth leaves. These leaves will promote photosynthesis. Continue to water and fertilize the plant regularly with an all-purpose houseplant plant fertilizer.

Amaryllis meaning

These stunning flowers are believed to mean pride, strength and determination as they stand tall above all other winter blooms. Amaryllis is also a Greek name which means 'to sparkle'. Very in keeping with the festive season when we throw glitter at literally everything.

BLOOM TIME/REBLOOMING:

At average room temperatures, waxed amaryllis begin blooming in about 4 to 6 weeks and will continue to bloom for about 3 weeks, producing 1 or 2 flower stalks with up to 4 blooms per stalk. This is a single-use amaryllis, it will not bloom again and should be discarded after flowering.

After your amaryllis is done blooming, place it in a bright indoor location (a window with southern exposure is likely the best place). Water regularly and fertilize monthly with an all-purpose houseplant or indoor plant fertilizer (follow the directions on the label).

Diluted coffee is an effective—and organic—fertilizer for healthier-looking houseplants. African violets, azaleas, amaryllis, aloe and ferns, to name a few, are all indoor plants that love coffee.

Amaryllis are happy to grow in pots and this is also a good way to minimize the risk of overwatering.

After-Bloom Care

Cut the old flowers from the stem after flowering, and when the stem starts to sag, cut it back to the top of the bulb. Leaf Growth and Development. Continue to water and fertilize as normal all summer, or for at least 5-6 months, allowing the leaves to fully develop and grow.

Do Amaryllis have babies? ›

It is normal for a fairly mature amaryllis bulb to develop an “offset” or baby bulb alongside it — especially in pots that offer a little room between the bulb and the pot rim. I've seen amaryllis bulb groupings in pots where the “babies” have been allowed to develop and grow to blooming size.

Red amaryllis often mean love and attraction because the color red is synonymous with these emotions. In China, red is viewed as lucky, so an amaryllis flower is a symbol of hope and prosperity. Pink amaryllis typically has nothing to do with romance. Instead, it's a symbol of friendship and platonic love.

Remove any dried leaves and store the plant in the coolest area (55 degrees is ideal) of your home. Don't water the plant during this time. Remove the leaves as they turn yellow. After about 8 or more weeks in the basement, it's time to bring the bulbs to a warmer area of the home.
