Very floriferous and decorative, no disappointments possible. Although planted at the same time as 3 other different amaryllis bulbs, it bloomed almost a week before the others. It's nice to be able to offer an amaryllis bulb knowing that there will be no possible failure and that it will bring pleasure, regardless of the choice when sourcing from you.

Description

A magnificent hippeastrum of a bright red colour and with large double flowers.

This hippeastrum with bright red double flowers is usually grouped in fours at the top of the main stem. The shape of the flowers resembles that of some lilies.

Amaryllis bulbs bloom approximately 6 to 8 weeks after planting, depending on the ambient temperature.

The green foliage consists of long, narrow strips.

Keep the pot in a well-lit place, warm if you want to speed up the flowering, cool at 10°C (50°F) to slow it down. Adding fertilizer is unnecessary before flowering, but necessary afterwards to replenish the bulb's reserves.

The size 36+ is important for the bulb's reserves and provides exceptional flowering.

Planting and care

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 drainage. Mix half potting soil and half 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, cut off 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 remove the faded leaves, repot them in fresh soil, and start a new growing cycle.
