Amaryllis

I planted an Amaryllis bulb yesterday.

Growing instructions:

1) Plant bulb in pot with approximately the top third of the bulb showing above the soil surface.

2) Add water so the soil is moist, but not soggy. Do not overwater.

3) Keep the Amaryllis in a warm location (70-75 degrees F). but not in direct sunlight.

4) Water on a regular basis throughout the flowering period.

5) After flowering, remove the flower stem just above the bulb and continue to water. Plant outdoors in the spring and fertilize throughout the summer. After first frost, dig bulb and store bareroot in a cool dark place for at least 8 weeks. Repot bulb and a new cycle will begin.
