To wax-coat Amaryllis bulbs is a disgusting and cruel marketing gimmick! It completely deprives this magnificent plant of any hydration or nutrients during a time that it expends tremendous energy to pump out huge, gorgeous blooms for all to enjoy. You are just perpetuating this sick practice when you buy them.
the hot wax won't burn the bulb?
It might have. It was my first time doing it and that’s probably why the bulb turned to mush after
Oh

Great point! Thanks
