I've just discovered a festive plant hack – a Christmas cactus alternative that doesn't need watering, will bloom in time for Christmas and even works on wreaths

Amaryllis flowers.

As a full time working mom whose life revolves around gardening, plants and nature, I need my house to be styled at Christmas with the most elegant of festive foliage and plants. It's a non-negotiable.

I am always on the hunt for easy styling ideas and Christmas plant hacks. And I've just found one I need to share: waxed amaryllis bulbs. Why are they so good? They do not require any watering or soil to grow and bloom, simply the right light and temperature conditions. Amaryllis plants are simple to grow even when potted, but these bulbs are completely fuss free and so easy even a total plant novice would have success with them.
