Amaryllis » What is the best environment for the Amaryllis bulbs?

The optimal environment is a room with a lot of natural light with temperatures between 68-77 degrees (F).

In the early weeks prior to sprouting, it is ok to place the potted bulbs in a dark place if the temperature is within range.

After leaf and flower stem(s) begin sprouting, a lower temperature can be beneficial as long as sufficient daylight is available.
