The Pink Panther variety offers vibrant pink flowers that make a dramatic statement in any indoor space. These bulbs bloom in 6 to 10 weeks after planting and are perfect for conservatories, kitchens, or living rooms. To plant, use a well-draining potting mix and ensure one-third of the bulb remains exposed above the soil surface. Place in bright, indirect light and water sparingly until growth appears, then increase watering as the stem develops. With proper care, these bulbs can be encouraged to rebloom season after season, providing long-lasting floral beauty.

FAQs
How deep should I plant the bulb?
Plant the bulb so that the bottom two-thirds are buried in the potting mix, leaving the top one-third exposed above the soil.
When can I expect flowers?
The Pink Panther typically blooms between 6 to 10 weeks after it is planted.
Should I fertilize my Amaryllis?
Once active growth begins, you may use a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength to support the developing bloom.
Can I plant this outdoors?
This variety is primarily intended for indoor use to protect the bulbs from freezing temperatures.
What do I do after the flowers fade?
Remove the spent flower stalk, keep the leaves, and continue to water and provide light so the bulb can store energy for the next year.
Troubleshooting
Bulb is rotting or mushy
The soil is likely too wet or the bulb is planted too deeply. Ensure the top third is exposed and allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
The bloom stalk is leaning heavily
This is often due to the plant reaching for light. Rotate the pot a quarter-turn every few days to encourage even growth.
Plant is not blooming after 10 weeks
Ensure the bulb is receiving enough indirect bright light. If the plant is in a dark corner, move it to a brighter location.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Select a pot with drainage holes that is only slightly larger than the bulb itself.
Planting: Fill the pot with a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. Position the bulb so that the top one-third remains visible above the soil surface.
Watering: Begin with light watering. Increase the frequency only once active green growth becomes visible.
Light: Provide bright, indirect light to encourage strong stem development.
Post-Bloom Care: Once flowers fade, cut the stalk down but leave the foliage to allow the bulb to store energy for the next cycle.
