Description

Hippeastrum 'Lady Jane' is an indoor bulb plant with colours that are difficult to describe!

'Lady Jane' has double flowers that are pink striated with white. They are grouped in fours at the top of the main stem. The shape of the flowers may resemble that of certain lilies.

Amaryllis bulbs flower 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 location, heated if you want to accelerate flowering, or cooled to 10°C (50°F) to slow it down. Adding fertiliser is unnecessary before flowering, but necessary afterwards to replenish the bulb's reserves.

The size 36+ indicates an important bulb reserve and results in an exceptional flowering.

Planting and care

You can plant amaryllis bulbs from October to the end of April. Choose a pot that is not too large (one or two cm larger than the size of the bulb). Place a layer of drainage at the bottom. Mix half potting soil, half garden soil. Only bury the bulb halfway. Place the pot in a warm and bright place. Water sparingly until the stem appears. Then water daily. Your bulbs will bloom 6 to 8 weeks later.

If you choose multiple bulbs, plant them with a two-week interval to enjoy their beauty all winter.

After flowering, cut off the faded flowers and let the leaves continue to grow. Continue to water regularly and give them indoor plant fertiliser every 15 days. This is the time when the bulb rebuilds itself to prepare for next year's flowers. After 4 to 6 months, forget about your potted plants, and let them rest for about 3 months in a sheltered place. You can then remove the faded leaves, repot in fresh soil, and start a new growing cycle.
