Planting & Care

Place your wax-coated bulb in a bright, indirect light location to encourage healthy stem growth. Rotate the bulb weekly to promote straight, even development. The wax coating contains all necessary moisture and nutrients, so no watering is needed during this stage. Once blooms fade, remove the wax shell and plant the bulb in well-draining soil either indoors or in your garden. Pinch off spent flowers to redirect the plant's energy toward future growth and additional blooms.
