This season I am sharing my love of plants and the cheer of winter flowers with you! I’ve created large planters specifically for the Amaryllis flower. Amaryllis are great for budding plant people and experienced plant parents alike. They are a low maintenance plant which requires good sunlight to begin growth, a warm area and little water.
The pot is thrown from 7 pounds of clay to ensure that it will have the heft to stabilize the large heads of flowers which will shoot up. I wanted to design pots deserving of such a regal festive flower, and bring color into the cold months ahead.
-Large planter is about 9.5”h x 8” w.
-Body is wheel thrown with a corded band at the 1/3 mark, and hand sculpted hummingbird medallion on the front, which is hand painted and waxed. Finally the piece is dipped inside and outside in a white gloss glaze. Has a drainage hole and water dish.
Comes with Kit:
Large Dutch Grown Amaryllis Bulb (1)
Soil
Care Card
Order will ship with stunning 'Gervaise' bulb- this flower explodes into large white and pink striations. These are larger bulbs which take a bit longer to mature (ballpark 8-12 weeks), but due to size will yield more and thus longer lasting flowers.
When the amaryllis bulb blooms are spent- keep the plant as an interesting green foliage, and wait as it stores it’s energy for another show of blooms next year.
*Note- first three pictures show the planter you will receive, last 2 show drainage hole size, plant pot kit, and proportional size of planter.
