Feature

Add bold holiday color to any room with the Red Lion Amaryllis Kit. This classic variety produces large, trumpet-shaped red flowers that open in sequence for a show that lasts for weeks. The kit is simple to start and looks great right out of the box, making it an easy gift and a reliable way to brighten mantels, tables, and windowsills during the season.

Red Lion is well suited to indoor growing. Place it in bright, indirect light at typical room temperatures, and expect blooms about six to eight weeks after planting. Each stalk can produce multiple flowers, and rotating the pot every few days encourages straight, sturdy growth. With a small footprint and a big visual payoff, it’s perfect for holiday decorating or sending as a thoughtful present.

What’s Inside

• One Red Lion amaryllis bulb

• Planting pot

• Compressed soil disc (expands with water)

Planting is straightforward. Hydrate the soil disc, then fill the container halfway. Set the bulb so the top third sits above the surface and backfill gently, leaving the neck exposed. Water sparingly at first—just enough to settle the mix—then wait until you see steady stem or leaf growth before increasing watering. Keep the mix slightly moist, never soggy, and avoid letting the bulb sit in standing water. Ideal conditions are 65–75°F in bright, indirect light; south or east windows generally work well.

Once buds begin to open, move the plant a bit cooler to prolong bloom time. After flowering, remove the spent flower stalk but keep the leaves so they can recharge the bulb. Continue watering when the top inch of mix is dry and feed every two to three weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer while foliage is green. If you want a repeat performance next winter, allow a rest period in late fall by reducing water and storing the bulb in a cool, dark place for eight to ten weeks before restarting in bright light.

This is a natural product, so bulb size and timing can vary with the environment. For indoor display only; keep away from heat vents and intense direct sun. Amaryllis is toxic if ingested—display out of reach of pets and small children.

FAQs

How long does it take to bloom?

From planting to flowers, the typical window is about six to eight weeks. Warmer rooms speed things up slightly, while cooler rooms slow the process and can extend the overall display time.

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes a quality Red Lion bulb, a decorative planting pot, and a compressed soil disc that expands with water. You’ll have everything needed to plant and grow indoors.

How should I care for it indoors?

Give the plant bright, indirect light and start with very light watering. As the stem elongates, keep the mix slightly moist and rotate the pot every few days so the stalk grows upright toward the light.

Can I save it to rebloom next year?

Yes. After flowering, remove the spent stalk, keep the leaves growing in bright light, and water when the top inch is dry. Feed regularly during active growth, then provide an eight to ten week cool, dark rest in late fall before restarting for another holiday bloom cycle.

Will it attract pollinators outdoors?

Amaryllis is typically enjoyed as an indoor winter bloomer and does not require pollination to perform. If you move it outside in warm weather, protect it from direct midday sun and wind; any pollinator interest will be incidental and is not necessary for success.
