Q.How Is The Care Of An Amaryllis Dipped In Wax Different Than Bulbs Planted?

Zone Winter Park Florida | Anonymous added on January 31, 2022 | Answered

Received three bulbs dipped in plastic and was told they would bloom indoors. They all have bloomed with two or more flowers. Will they continue to bloom or do they need to be cut back and moved to cooler temps til next season?

The ones dipped in wax are meant to be enjoyed for the current holiday season then discarded. My understanding is they probably won't bloom again. If you want to try, remove all the wax and plant the bulb outside after all danger of frost has passed. Hopefully it will grow roots. Here is more:
