Amaryllis is a bulbous perennial, meaning it stores energy in its bulb to bloom even in dormant seasons. These bulbs can grow without soil in water or hydroponic setups, as long as roots have moisture to draw from.

Poinsettias didn’t become a Christmas symbol by accident. Their timing is what made them beloved. In Mexico, the plants naturally turn red during December. Families often bring branches into their homes for Advent and Christmas celebrations.
