Waxed Amaryllis bulbs combine a living flower bulb with a decorative wax finish, creating a distinctive seasonal product for retail, gifting and floral presentation. For professional buyers, however, appearance is only one part of the sourcing decision. Bulb size, flower color, packing format, customization feasibility and delivery planning all need to be confirmed before an order can be quoted accurately.
This guide explains the main points importers, distributors, garden centres and retailers should review when sourcing waxed Amaryllis bulbs wholesale.
1. Start with the sales channel
The right product specification depends on where and how the finished item will be sold. A compact classic product may suit a garden centre or promotional program, while a larger bulb or more decorative presentation may be better for a premium gift range.
Before contacting a supplier, define:
- The target country
- Your business and sales channel
- The intended retail positioning
- The preferred decorative style
- The estimated order quantity
- The required delivery period
- Any label, barcode or packaging requirements
Providing this information early helps the supplier recommend a practical product and reduces unnecessary revisions during quotation.
2. Understand bulb circumference specifications
Waxed Amaryllis bulbs are commonly discussed by circumference. For JOSOI export programs, the stated circumference is measured around the finished waxed bulb and includes the wax coating.
| Product group | Available specification | Commercial note |
|---|---|---|
| Decorative waxed series | 32/34, 34/36, 36/38 and 38/40 cm | Style and size are confirmed before quotation |
| Handmade wax series | 28/30 and 30/32 cm | Suitable for a compact, classic presentation |
| Cup-style Amaryllis | Bulb circumference 15–22 cm; cup height 18 cm | Program feasibility is confirmed on request |
Do not select a size from a photograph alone. Camera angle, wax thickness and decorative accessories can change the perceived scale. Ask the supplier to state the measurement method and confirm the applicable size in the quotation.

3. Confirm the flower color and assortment
JOSOI’s confirmed export catalog includes pink, red and orange flower color families. The available assortment can vary by product style and production timing, so buyers should distinguish between a general color family and a named variety.
When flower color is commercially important, confirm:
- The requested color family
- Whether a named variety is required
- Whether mixed assortments are acceptable
- The reference flowering images used for evaluation
- How substitutions, if any, will be handled
Flower appearance may also be influenced by light exposure and transport conditions. Actual product and flowering images are more useful than relying only on a color name.
4. Match the wax finish to the retail concept
The decorative finish is a major part of the product’s shelf appeal. Buyers can discuss classic wax colors, seasonal directions and market-specific presentation concepts. The best option should support the retail story without making the product difficult to pack, handle or display.
For a clearer development brief, provide reference colors, packaging dimensions, artwork and examples of the intended display environment. JOSOI reviews each concept against product feasibility, quantity, timing and destination requirements before confirmation.

5. Review wholesale packing formats
Packing should protect the selected product while remaining practical for handling, transport and the buyer’s sales channel. JOSOI’s standard export references include:
- 8 pieces per carton option
- 16 pieces per carton option
- 12 pieces per tray for bulbs of 34 cm and above
- 20 pieces per tray for bulbs of 32 cm and above
These are reference formats rather than a promise that every product can use every pack. The final arrangement depends on bulb size, decorative presentation, order quantity and route requirements.
Before approving packing, confirm the number of pieces per carton or tray, internal protection, carton markings, retail packaging and any destination-specific requirements.
6. Define OEM and ODM requirements early
Customization can help importers and retailers build a more distinctive seasonal program, but it also adds decisions and preparation time. JOSOI can discuss:
- Wax color and decorative direction
- Labels, barcodes and care information
- Retail sleeves, gift boxes, bags and display concepts
- Export cartons and trays
- Channel-specific packing
- Supported private-label presentation
Not every option applies to every order. Artwork, quantity, production timing and destination should be reviewed before sampling or quotation. A complete brief allows the supplier to identify feasible options earlier.
7. Evaluate the supply process, not only the finished sample
A buyer should understand how the product moves from growing and selection to wax preparation, packing and dispatch. Real images of the growing base, bulb handling, product preparation and dispatch area provide useful context when evaluating a supplier.
During supplier discussions, ask for confirmation of:
- The applicable bulb specification
- The selected flower color family or variety
- Product availability for the required period
- Wax and decorative requirements
- Packing configuration
- Label and artwork responsibilities
- Transport and temperature-protection considerations
- The inspection and approval points before dispatch

8. Request a quotation with complete information
There is no single MOQ or lead time that applies to every waxed Amaryllis program. Both depend on the selected bulb size, wax style, packaging, season, quantity and production schedule. For this reason, a useful quotation request should include:
- Target country and destination
- Buyer type and sales channel
- Preferred product style
- Required bulb size or acceptable size range
- Flower color preference
- Estimated quantity
- Retail and export packaging requirements
- Branding, label or barcode requirements
- Expected delivery period
JOSOI confirms the applicable specifications, availability, packing and commercial terms in writing before an order proceeds.
