Planting Instructions: Put 2" of potting soil in a pot at least 6" in diameter. Set amaryllis bulb in the pot and spread out the roots (be cautious not to damage roots). Gently pack more potting soil between the roots and around the bulbs covering 2/3 of the bulb and leaving 1/3 of the bulb above the soil line. Watering: Water once with lukewarm water when you first pot your amaryllis, then sparingly until you see the tip of the bud appear. Then water once a week being careful not to over water.
