Management methods of Amaryllis in four seasons

Spring Management

Amaryllis is a bulbous plant. It can be divided and propagated by sowing in March and April. After planting in March and April, it will bloom in May and June. In late spring and early summer, when Amaryllis blooms, it needs to be repotted, watered in time, loosened the soil from time to time, and fertilized appropriately. Amaryllis blooms in spring. In order to promote flowering, all maintenance work in spring can be said to be preparations for flowering. In order to maintain the fertility of the soil, the soil and pots should be changed in spring, and pruning should be carried out in time. When changing the pots and soil, the dead roots, dead branches, and branches and leaves with diseases and insect pests of Amaryllis should be pruned away. And spray anthers every month to prevent the occurrence of diseases and pests to ensure the flowers bloom.

Summer Management

Since Amaryllis is native to tropical and subtropical regions of South America, it prefers a warm, humid and fresh environment. In summer, Amaryllis should not be exposed to the sun. It is best to plant Amaryllis in a cool environment. When the temperature is high in summer, Amaryllis will be in a semi-dormant state.

Fall Management

In autumn, Amaryllis will sprout. At this time, we can divide Amaryllis and break off the small bulbs near the roots. Be careful not to damage the fibrous roots and store the broken bulbs in slightly moist sandy soil to overwinter in a low temperature environment. They can be planted in the spring of the following year. Reduce watering of Amaryllis in autumn.

Winter management

Amaryllis will also bloom in winter. If you want Amaryllis to bloom in winter, you need to keep it in a greenhouse and keep the temperature between 20°C and 25°C. It will bloom in about forty days. But under normal circumstances, Amaryllis is in a dormant period in winter. At this time, the soil of Amaryllis should be kept dry. Because Amaryllis is not cold-resistant, it should be placed in a warm room to overwinter.
