Description

This Hippeastrum has large single flowers in pink colour, usually grouped in fours at the top of the main stem. The shape of the flowers resembles that of certain lilies.

3 large flower stalks will succeed each other, for a total flowering period of about two months.

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

The green foliage consists of long, narrow leaves.

Keep the pot in a well-lit place, warm if you want to accelerate flowering, cool at 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+ ensures a significant bulb reserve 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,1-2cm (1in) larger than the size of the bulb. Place a layer of drainage at the bottom. Mix half potting compost, 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 flower. 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 flower again? After flowering, remove the faded flowers and let the leaves develop. Continue to water regularly and give them indoor plant fertiliser 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 in fresh soil, and start a new growing cycle.
