      Jackson and Perkins are waxing bulb with stand included in bottom of wax, need no soil or water and no attention until end of bloom. If it won't destroy my bulbs it would make it easier for showing in holiday décor. I not willing to harm my bulb. I'm very concerned with my bulbs health, but it would be a lot easier.

    I’m rather shocked to read your question! Why would you ever, ever want to wax a bulb? If you are trying to get it to re-bloom, the last thing the bulb needs is a coat of wax on it. Perhaps your computer/tablet/phone inserted an incorrect word and you didn’t mean “wax”. Google “how to get an Amaryllis to re-bloom“ and you will see lots of information.
