Keep the indoor temperature at 13℃. If the soil in the pot is too dry during maintenance, spray water on the soil and leaves to keep them moist.

2. Watering management near the Spring Festival

Then, when the Spring Festival is approaching, about 30-40 days before the Spring Festival, you need to water the plants thoroughly. After watering, you also need to place the plants in a warm and sunny place indoors for maintenance, so that the amaryllis will grow normally.

If the flower arrow of Amaryllis grows too fast, you need to move the plant to a cool and ventilated place; but if the flower stalk grows slowly, you need to increase the indoor temperature and pay attention to sufficient light;
