Does this faux amaryllis stand on its own without a vase?

Yes, that is the whole idea. The resin bulb at the base sits flat and holds the stem upright, so you can set it directly on a surface with no vase, no vessel, and no water. That is what makes it different from a cut amaryllis stem.

How tall is a standing faux amaryllis with a bulb?

This one stands 21 inches tall. That is enough height to read as a real piece on a mantel or console without towering over what is around it.

What is the bulb made of?

The bulb is resin, hand-finished so the papery skin and coloring read like a real forced amaryllis rather than a molded shape. The piece overall is resin, plastic wire, and polysilk.

Where can you put a standing faux amaryllis?

Almost anywhere with a flat surface, since it needs no vessel. A mantel, a bookshelf, an entry console, a kitchen counter, a nightstand, a powder room counter, a desk, or a windowsill all work. One on its own reads finished, and a pair reads intentional.

What is a waxed amaryllis bulb?

A waxed amaryllis is a real bulb sealed in wax so it blooms on a table without soil or water, and it has become a popular holiday piece. It only lasts one season though. This faux version gives the same standing-bulb look and comes back every year.

Do faux red amaryllis look real?

They look real when the bulb is finished by hand rather than molded flat, and when the red has depth instead of a flat printed look. This one has a hand-finished resin bulb and three full blooms, so it reads convincingly at close range.

Is a faux amaryllis a good Christmas gift?

It is one of the easier holiday gifts to get right, because it arrives finished, needs nothing added, and never has to be watered or thrown out in January. Red amaryllis is also the color most people associate with Christmas, so it lands as a gift.

How many blooms does this amaryllis have?

Three large blooms, each about 5 to 6 inches across, plus one smaller bud, all on a single upright stem. The bud gives it the slightly uneven look a real amaryllis has as it opens, which keeps it from reading too staged.

Can the leaves be shaped?

Yes, all three leaves are wired, so you can arc them out, curl the tips, or bring them in close to the bulb. Giving each leaf a different angle is the fastest way to make it look like it grew that way.

Can you put a standing amaryllis in an arrangement?

You can, and the bulb is meant to show rather than hide, so it works sitting on moss in a low bowl or crock. Most people use it on its own though, since it already arrives as a finished piece.

Is a faux amaryllis better than a real waxed bulb?

For most people yes, because a real waxed bulb blooms once, leans as it grows, and gets thrown out after the season. This one holds its shape, never needs water or light, and comes back out of the box every December.

How do you store a faux amaryllis bulb between seasons?

Box it upright, or lay it flat with the blooms supported so nothing gets crushed under weight. The wired leaves reshape easily if they shift, so a quick pass when you unpack it is all it needs.
