Did you know that

  • You can hang your cut amaryllis upside down as a nice decoration in a window or in a wall-hung holder (be careful of the wall behind so that the flower does not discolour it). Then you water the amaryllis by pouring the water into the hollow stem.
  • On onions - if you order an amaryllis on onions, it is delivered in bud and it takes about a month for it to bloom.
  • In a bouquet - if you order amaryllis as a cut flower, it is delivered in bud and begins to bloom after a few days. The flowers come out gradually and amaryllis is a cut flower that lasts up to two weeks.
  • By placing your pot with the amaryllis bulb on a warm windowsill, you can make it grow a little faster.
  • Need to slow down your amaryllis a bit? Put it in a dark and cool place and it will calm down a bit.
