This indoor bulb kit will make a wonderful treat for either yourself or for family and friends. This kit comes complete with everything needed to grow your own fabulous Amaryllis 'Red Velvet'.

Top Tips

Turn your Amaryllis regularly to keep the stems straight and stop them bending towards the light.

Care Information

Plant your Amaryllis with the top third of the bulb above the compost surface.
Water regularly, keeping the compost moist.
Grow in a bright, warm spot, ideally above 20�C (68�F).
Feed regularly to encourage larger flowers, tomato food is perfect!

Keep your Amaryllis for the next year!

After flowering, cut the stems down to a few centimetres above the bulb, but leave the leaves in place.
Continue to water and feed throughout the year until autumn, then move the plant to a dark place and stop
watering, letting the leaves die off.
In November, bring you Amaryllis back into the light and begin watering and feeding again.
New leaves and flower stems will grow, and as the bulb has been well fed, it should flower even better than the previous year.
