Hippeastrum Waxz® 'Art' Cylinder(plastic)

Understanding Hippeastrum Waxz® ‘Art’ in Cylinder

Hippeastrum Waxz® ‘Art’ in Cylinder is a modern, decorative take on the classic amaryllis. The bulb is coated in a layer of coloured wax—designed for aesthetic appeal—and placed in a clear plastic cylinder for display. This type of bulb is completely self-sustaining, requiring no soil, water, or fertilizer. Everything the plant needs to flower is already stored within the bulb itself. Its ease of care makes it perfect for gift-giving or bright indoor decoration during winter months.

• Unique Feature: The wax coating seals in moisture and nutrients, eliminating the need for watering or potting.

• Display Use: Intended for indoor ornamental use, particularly during the holiday season or as a statement piece.

• Flowering Period: Typically blooms within 4–8 weeks of setup, producing 1–3 tall stems with large, trumpet-shaped flowers in rich shades of red, pink, or white.

• Temperature Requirements: Performs best at normal room temperatures between 18–24°C. Cooler temperatures may slow growth, while excessive heat can shorten the blooming period.

• Light Needs: Place in a bright room with indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can overheat the bulb or fade the wax coating.

Positioning and Display

Although the Hippeastrum Waxz® ‘Art’ requires virtually no traditional planting care, proper placement ensures even growth, long flowering, and an attractive appearance throughout its display period.

• Setup: Remove any packaging but do not remove the wax layer. The bulb is already pre-prepared and ready to grow.

• Container: The supplied plastic cylinder provides stability and visual appeal. Ensure the base allows for some airflow—avoid sealing it completely.

• Light Placement: Place near a bright window or under ambient indoor light. Turn the cylinder slightly every few days to encourage the flower stems to grow straight rather than leaning toward the light source.

• Temperature Management: Maintain moderate indoor warmth. Avoid cold windowsills, draughts, or areas near radiators and heaters.

• Humidity: No additional humidity or misting is needed. The wax coating prevents moisture loss effectively.

• Decoration Tip: The clear cylinder can be enhanced with decorative stones, moss, or seasonal ornaments around the base for a festive touch.

Aftercare and Longevity

The Hippeastrum Waxz® ‘Art’ is designed for one blooming cycle, requiring no watering or replanting. However, with careful attention, you can extend its display life and even attempt regrowth once the flowers have finished.

• During Flowering: Enjoy the display as the stems elongate and buds open. Support tall stems gently if they begin to lean by propping the bulb upright within the cylinder.

• After Flowering: Once the blooms fade, allow the stem to wither naturally. Do not water or feed the bulb.

• Post-Display Option: Although not designed for reuse, it’s possible to revive the bulb by removing the wax after flowering.

  • Carefully peel away the wax layer without damaging the bulb.

  • Plant it in a pot with fresh bulb compost, leaving one-third of the bulb above the soil surface.

  • Water sparingly until new growth appears.

  • Allow it to rest in a cool, dry location after the growing season before attempting to reflower the following year.

• Disposal: If you prefer not to regrow it, the waxed bulb can be composted or disposed of after the flowering period ends.

Key Care Summary

• Watering: None required.

• Fertilising: None required.

• Light: Bright, indirect light.

• Temperature: 18–24°C ideal.

• Blooming Time: 4–8 weeks after setup.

• Maintenance: Rotate periodically for even growth; no pruning or trimming needed.

With its self-contained design and effortless maintenance, Hippeastrum Waxz® ‘Art’ in Cylinder offers a simple yet elegant way to enjoy the beauty of amaryllis blooms indoors—bringing vivid colour and modern style to any interior space
