Hippeastrum Christmas Gift - Amaryllis

How to plant my Amaryllis? You can plant Amaryllis bulbs from October to the end of April. Choose a pot that is not too big (one or two cm larger than the size of the bulb). Place a layer of drainage at the bottom for proper water flow. Mix equal parts potting soil and garden soil. Only bury the bulb halfway. Place the pot in a warm and bright location. Water sparingly until the stem appears. Then water daily 6 to 8 weeks later, your bulbs will bloom. Our advice: if you choose multiple bulbs, plant them with a two-week interval to enjoy the beauty of Amaryllis all winter. How to make my Amaryllis bloom again? After flowering, remove the faded flowers and let the leaves develop. Continue to water regularly and give them indoor plant fertilizer every 15 days. This is when the bulb replenishes itself to prepare for next year's flowers. After 4 to 6 months, forget about your potted plants, let them rest for about 3 months in a sheltered place. You can then trim the faded leaves, repot in fresh soil and start a new cycle of cultivation.
