A sunny window often fosters compact stems, vigorous performance, and most fervent color, but indirect light from an east- or west-facing window usually works fine. Amaryllises also favor slightly dry soil rather than being soaked, which fits beautifully with most indoor gardeners’ busy lives. And that is all they require. For very little effort, sublime splendor can be yours. Amaryllises transform your windowsill into a winter garden.
