Breck's 85608 Red Amaryllis Plant Bulbs sku-1613144803

Breck's model 85608 is a Red Miracle Red flowering amaryllis kit in Plant Bulbs, listed as sku-1613144803, UPC 192665124617. It includes two 26 cm diameter bulbs planted in a container 7.25 in. tall and 9.25 in. wide; the title calls it a decorative 9 inch pot. Set the container on a protected surface near a well-lit window, away from direct heat. On arrival, water moderately with lukewarm water.

Before buds appear, water sparingly to keep the soil slightly moist; afterward, water a few times a week without overwatering. For reblooming, cut spent flower stalks an inch or 2 above the bulb, leaving the leaves intact. Move the bulbs to a slightly larger pot with their original soil, water as needed and fertilize monthly with water-soluble fertilizer.

Once frost danger has passed, place the pot in semi-shade. In late summer, stop watering, let the foliage wither and cut off the leaves. Store the bulbs somewhere cool and dry for 6 to 8 weeks, then move them to a warm, well-lit spot and resume watering when growth begins.
