Product Description

The Amaryllis Waxed Bulb brings instant impact to any indoor space with its lush stems and large trumpet-shaped blooms. Each bulb is encased in a decorative wax finish with Christmas message, available in red or white, creating a clean, modern look that complements festive interiors.

This unique houseplant thrives on its own stored reserves, eliminating the need for watering and making it an excellent choice for beginners or busy households. Expect vibrant flowers for approx. 3–6 weeks, with the colour varying naturally between bulbs.

Perfect for windowsills, tabletops and seasonal centerpieces, this compact winter favourite adds elegance and warmth at a time when gardens are resting.

Care Tips

  • Place in bright, indirect light to encourage strong, upright growth.

  • After the first stem finishes flowering, cut it just above the bulb to allow a potential third stem to develop.

  • If no new growth appears after four weeks, remove the metal base and wax, then plant the bulb in soil to re-root.

  • Allow approximately 9 months for rooting before the bulb begins its next flowering cycle.

  • Rotate the bulb occasionally to maintain balanced, even growth.

Bring effortless winter colour into your home or delight someone special with this beautifully presented Amaryllis Waxed Bulb — a striking, ready-to-grow gift that brightens any space with minimal care.
