Amaryllis bulbs are exotic, mid-winter treasures that add a burst of color during the winter months to liven up your home or office. These bulbs are becoming more popular as hostess gifts, teacher gifts and holiday gifts simply because they're beautiful and easy to grow. And you can get creative with containers too.
You can group several together in a decorative pot with moss, or even hollow out a pineapple and set some blooms inside. Place the
pineapple vase in a shallow serving dish with cranberries for a cool centerpiece. To add sparkle and shine, whip some egg whites and brush lightly on the blooms, then sprinkle sugar on top. When the sugar dries in about an hour, your amaryllis will be as festive as the holiday season.
To
plant your amaryllis bulb, choose a container that is snug and just slightly larger than the bulb, making certain that the container will drain after watered. Put a couple inches of potting soil in the container, sit your bulb in, root side down and then fill with more soil covering 3/4 of the bulb.
Make sure you keep your pot in a warm spot and water lightly to keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Amaryllis, like most plants, grow towards the sun so make sure to rotate your container to ensure that the stalks grow straight.
Half the fun is watching your amaryllis grow. From the first sprout, to the buds, to the huge flowers, you can actually see it grow. Everyone can grow amaryllis, even brown thumbs! Simple, elegant, and beautiful the amaryllis is the solution to holiday decorating and beyond.

Being gifted an amaryllis bulb by my grandma, it really holds a deep message. The beautiful pineapple boosts my vision, really. I mean, I even thought about opting university dissertation help by scholars while sitting near the bulb. It’s aura, makes me believe. It’s beautiful.
Ever deal with a chronic injury? I have, and the journey to recovery was a long one. But one resource that really helped me understand what was happening with my body was https://ways2well.com/health/chronic-injury. Right in the middle of my recovery, I stumbled upon it and it was truly enlightening. The site provides comprehensive information about different types of chronic injuries, their causes, and management strategies. The advice on prevention was particularly helpful. I strongly recommend it to anyone seeking to understand chronic injuries better.
