Botanical Name: Hippeastrum
Common Name: Amaryllis
Family: Amaryllidoideae
Plant Type: Perennial, bulb
Plant Care: To bring your amaryllis care indoors, partially fill a 5- to 7-inch pot with a quality, well-draining sandy loam potting mix. Then, plant the amaryllis bulb, so the top third is exposed when you fill in the rest of the pot with potting mix. The bulbs should be planted 10 to 12 weeks before you want them to bloom.
Place a bamboo stake alongside the bulb. The flowers can get top-heavy, and inserting the stake at the time of planting will help you avoid damaging the bulb and roots later.
Grown as a potted plant indoors, amaryllis prefers direct morning sun but bright indirect light in the afternoon. Keep the soil moist but not wet. A thick flower stalk should shoot up within a few weeks after planting. The flat leaves will follow as the flower stalk matures. Turn the pot every few days, so the flower stalk gets uniform light exposure on all sides and grows straight.
Toxicity: Toxic to pets and people.

Many people engage in amaryllis care to cultivate winter-blooming houseplants, though the bulbs can bloom at other times of year. Amaryllis flowers are generally hybrids from various species in the Hippeastrum genus, a group of tropical plants from Central and South America. There is also a true Amaryllis genus containing just two species native to South Africa.Amaryllis plants have strappy leaves and huge flowers shaped like trumpet lilies. The blooms are typically a deep red, pink, white, or blend of these colors. You can expect your amaryllis to bloom for seven weeks or longer.
