Should I use a large or small pot for Amaryllis?

When planting Amaryllis, if you are only planting one tree, you can use a small pot. If you are planting more trees, you can use a large pot. Generally, the size of the pot only needs to be twice as large as the size of the Amaryllis plant.

Growth environment: Amaryllis likes a warm and humid environment. The best growth temperature is generally around 18-22 degrees. During maintenance, avoid high temperatures and scorching sunlight. When watering, just keep the soil moist.

Repotting time: Amaryllis needs to be repotted after flowering. It is generally most appropriate to repot in early spring or during the dormant period, because repotting during this period will have the least impact on the growth of Amaryllis.

Should I use a deep or shallow pot for Amaryllis?

It is more suitable to plant Amaryllis in deep pots because the root system of Amaryllis is relatively developed and belongs to the bulbous root system. The water retention capacity of shallow pots will be relatively poor, which is not conducive to the growth of the root system.

Amaryllis has only one requirement for the material of the flower pot, which is that it must be very water permeable. Generally, the material of the flower pot can be a clay pot, a mud pot, or a pottery pot. For the sake of beauty, you can use a porcelain pot or a purple clay pot with good air permeability for maintenance.

How to repot Amaryllis

1. Remove from the basin

After removing Amaryllis from the pot, the soil on the roots needs to be cleaned, and the old roots on the roots of Amaryllis also need to be trimmed off. It is best to disinfect the wounds. After the wounds are dry, they can be planted.

2. Put it in the basin

When planting Amaryllis, the soil must be loose, fertile, and well-drained. The new pot should be larger than the previous one. After planting, water the soil thoroughly and then place it in a ventilated and well-lit place to slow down the growth of the seedlings.
