Happy Thursday, friends! I am so excited to bring this post today with you with Breck’s Gifts. By now you know that I do not have a green thumb. I either watch a plant like a hawk, watering everyday and overwatering them until death. Or I forget about them for a month and come back to a drought. Not the best combination for bringing a plant in our home.
But I was still excited to try my hand at growing these easy Waxed Amaryllis from Breck’s which promised me easy care. Aside from my general curiosity, I think they would be the perfect holiday porch gift for every one from coworkers to mother in laws. Since we can’t give our usual experiential gifts this year (we miss you theatre tickets) but also don’t want to add more stuff to people’s homes or work on their already busy plates, this just felt spot on for the kind of gift I wanted to give. Easy and lively.
I watched this Waxed Amaryllis grow every single day and to my surprise, it grew with no water, no additional soil, getting all of the nutrients it needs from the wax. It won’t bloom next year like most Amaryllis but I am just satisfied to see it now. Breck’s Gift accounts for the quality of their plants and each stalk gets about four incredibly showy blooms so it’s worth it for the season.
If you opt for other Amaryllis from their site besides the Waxed, you’re probably also going to need this festive Santa and Ladder Amaryllis stake. It will keep your plant upright as it grows about an inch per day. Mine is a testament to that. The stake also acts as it’s own decoration. It also acts as its own decoration. I bet it would be a great gift for the independent plant loving kid.
Considering I am not the plants-pert, I figured it was also my duty to see if I could kill this Triple Bulb Amaryllis. It’s growing like a champ and I can’t wait to give it as a gift to my mother in law. (Don’t tell her you saw this.) So all in all an A+ for me. I hope this helps as you begin thinking of gift ideas.
