HI Anne-Marie,

It shouldn’t matter. You will soak your bulb well before you coat it. The wax keeps the moisture in the bulb so it has everything it needs.

I can understand that the bulb needs to be moist but not too wet. How does this translate into my region?

I received two waxed bulbs, and I wanted to find out how to do it myself so that I could have more. Thank you!

One note: the stem likely leaned because it was searching for room to grow. You said that it never straightened. This is my first experience with having amaryllis. I’m just learning. One of the things I learned was that when they have too much light, they lean to get away from it. By turning it around, it will stand up straight, again! Before it starts leaning too far the other way, just keep rotating them every few days, and the stem stays straight up and down. You helped me. I hope this helps you! Blessings!
