Velvet Nymph Amaryllis

A Bumpy Ride

This amaryllis gift will have you seeing red—lots of it! Velvet Nymph bears double blooms entirely hued in deep, rich red—a perfect match for your holiday décor. Within 6-8 weeks, 1-2 stalks will sprout and grow 18-24" tall. Each scape bears 3-4 lush blooms measuring 5-6" in diameter. This tender tropical boasts all the exotic form and bold color you might find in an island jungle, but you can enjoy it year after year in your own home.

PLACEMENT

Near a well-lit window (ideally east or west exposure).
Away from direct heat sources (65-70°F room temperatures are best).
On a protected surface (to prevent potential moisture damage to furniture).

WATER

Upon arrival: Moderately with lukewarm water.
Before buds appear: Water sparingly, keeping soil slightly moist
After buds and leaves appear: Gradually water more (a few times a week).
Avoid overwatering. Soil should not be soggy.

REBLOOMING

After initial bloom period, cut the flowering stalk to an inch or two above the bulb, keeping the leaves intact.
Transplant to a slightly larger pot with drainage holes, keeping original soil around the bulb.
Water as needed, when soil dries out. (We recommend adding a water-soluble fertilizer once a month.)
After danger of frost has passed in late spring, move potted amaryllis outdoors to a semi-shaded location. (You may also transplant to the garden if you prefer.)
In late summer, discontinue watering and fertilizing to allow the foliage to wither.
In the fall, cut off the dried leaves and move the amaryllis back indoors. (Repot if needed.)
Store in a cool, dark area for 6-8 weeks.
After resting period, move to a warm, well-lit area and resume watering once growth begins.

Naked Amaryllis Bulbs

PLANTING

Choose a container 6-8" in diameter.
Use a well-draining soil mix. We recommend equal parts loam, sand and compost.
To jump-start your bulb's growth, soak in lukewarm water for 1 hour prior to planting.
Plant bulb (tapered side up), keeping top 1/3 of the bulb above the soil.

Note: Your package may contain disposable heat packs to prevent bulbs from freezing during shipment. Please discard.
