No! Waxed Amaryllis do not require any water because the bulbs contain all the water and nutrients they need to flower.

Amaryllis flowers tend to become very heavy and they grow toward the sun, causing the plant to fall over. Best way to prevent this is by rotating the bulbs weekly during its growth! It will help ensure that the plant grows straighter.

Long Life Tulips

1. Can I change the water of my Long Life Tulips?

Changing the water is fine. This should be done while keeping the roots safe from damage. Hold the flowers and stems carefully while pouring out the water and refill with regular tap water. The bulbs need to stay upright without being damaged by the plastic “needles” of the tray.

It is very important not to over-water the bulbs. Roots should be kept in water and avoid dipping (splashing) the bulbs in water when moving the vase.

2. What is the average life span of hydroponic tulips?

We provide the flowers together with the bulb so they can live out a longer part of their life-cycle in your home. Depending on the variety, the actual blooming period lasts about a week.

In order to make the most of our flowers we recommend getting them when they are still green, that way you can enjoy more of the growing process.

The best thing you can do to help them bloom as long as possible is to keep them at a comfortable temperature between 60 and 70 degrees. Too much heat will reduce their life span. Make sure to keep the roots under water, but don't submerge the bulbs.

3. Can I regrow the tulip bulbs the vase again?

Please keep in mind that our growers use a complicated process over the course of weeks to prepare the bulbs so they can thrive hydroponically. When it comes to putting the bulbs back in the vase during the season, we cannot guarantee success.

However, after having been in the soil for the right amount of time you can try to have them live out their second life-cycle in the vase for the duration of the blooming period, but again, we cannot guarantee success. The bulbs are alive and sensitive to abrupt changes in their environment, switching them over to another is a delicate process.
