I gave this as a gift to my parents who live in an assisted living facility. It was wonderful because no care required, and yet a beautiful bloom in the middle of winter on their windowsill. Thank you.

Hi. I purchased a bulb for a 94 year old to give her something to watch and enjoy. However, the first bulb never bloomed. It fell apart. Never grew sprouts.

You were gracious and quickly sent a second bulb to my friend. This one appears to be heavier and we hope it grows.

It would be helpful if instructions on how to grow the flowers were included.

I received one of these last year for Christmas. I enjoyed it so much that I bought one for my daughter and one for my sister. I'm looking at buying a couple of more this year. It doesn't come in full bloom, but that way you can watch it grow and develop into a full bloom or blossoms. The surprise that I had is that it actually grew new stalks and bloomed 3 separate times. After that, you can either throw it away or you can plant it. The next best thing is that it is almost maintenance free. You don't even need to water it. A wonderful and unusual gift. I highly recommend it.
