FAQs
Can I reuse the pot next year?
Yes, the white pot is durable and can be cleaned and reused for future planting seasons.
Do I need to add extra fertilizer?
The kit includes nutrient-rich compost, which provides sufficient energy for the initial blooming cycle.
Will this bloom every year?
With proper post-bloom care, such as feeding the foliage and allowing a winter dormancy period, the bulb can bloom again.
Is the gift box suitable for shipping?
The gold gift box is primarily for presentation; for mailing, it is recommended to place the box inside a protective shipping carton.
How large will the plant grow?
The amaryllis typically grows to a height of 40-60cm, depending on the specific light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Bulb shows no sign of growth after 4 weeks
Ensure the bulb is in a warm spot; sometimes they require a slightly higher temperature to break dormancy.
Stem is leaning heavily to one side
Rotate the pot regularly and use a small support stake if the blooms are too heavy for the stalk.
Leaves are turning yellow
This is often a sign of overwatering; allow the compost to dry out slightly between waterings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Planting: Place the bulb in the white pot, ensuring the top third of the bulb remains exposed above the compost level.
- Initial Watering: Water sparingly until the first green sprout emerges, then increase watering to keep the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged.
- Environment: Maintain a consistent room temperature between 18-22 degrees Celsius.
- Maintenance: After the blooms fade, cut the flower stalk back to the top of the bulb, but keep watering and feeding the leaves to store energy for next year's growth.
