Paperwhites and Gold Medal Amaryllis Care
Watering: Water your bulb sparingly until it begins to show growth. Depending on the variety or place of origin this can be a slow process, but have patience! As long as the bulb feels firm and looks healthy, you’ll eventually start seeing signs of movement.
Once growth begins you can start watering regularly, but allow the top half of the soil to dry out in between. Amaryllis do not like sitting in soggy soil, which can contribute to bulb rot. Avoid getting water into the neck of the bulb.
Light and Temperature: Grow your amaryllis in a location that gets bright, indirect light and consistent, draft-free temperatures. Stems will grow towards a light source, so it may be necessary to rotate the pot a quarter turn every few days to keep the stem growing upright.
You can encourage your Amaryllis to come along faster by placing it in a warmer environment or giving it some gentle bottom-heat with a seed starting mat. Once it’s growing vigorously and sending up flower stalks, it’s advisable to move it to a cooler location to prolong blooming time (keep above 60F).

Reblooming Notes
Many bulbs may be planted outdoors in a sunny location once all danger of frost has passed (zones 3-8 only). The garden can be removed from the liner and potted into the ground any time that the soil can be worked.
Forcing bulbs indoors uses up a great deal of their energy, and it may take a few years for the bulbs to rejuvenate and bloom again.
While tulips are technically considered perennials, most varieties unfortunately will not behave like it in most parts of the world.
Some types are more likely to perennialize in a North American climate, such as species/botanical, Darwin hybrids, and Fosteriana tulips. Highly hybridized and double-flowering varieties (like many of the ones in our potted collections) are unlikely to come back, especially after the stress of being forced.
Our best advice is to treat our potted tulips as annuals to be composted once they’ve bloomed, and if you wish to enjoy tulips in the garden you should directly plant new bulbs in the fall.
