How to grow Amaryllis

1. Soil

Try to use well-aerated soil. Generally, loose and well-drained mixed soil such as river sand is suitable. Be careful not to grow it in sticky soil such as loess, otherwise it will not grow normally.

2. Temperature

The temperature that is usually suitable for it is between 18-22℃. In summer, be careful not to get too hot and move the place to a cool, well-ventilated environment. In winter, you should pay attention to the temperature not being lower than 5 degrees. In order to ensure its normal growth, it is better to move it indoors.

3. Lighting

It prefers to grow in an environment with good sunlight. But be careful not to be exposed to direct strong light to avoid sunburn. On the other hand, it can be placed in a brighter environment with good air circulation, such as a balcony.

4. Watering

When watering, be sure to water the plant sufficiently when the soil is dry, and avoid any accumulation of water. Generally, you should pay attention to water control, otherwise excessive humidity will cause the plant to fail to grow normally or even die.

5. Reproduction

It is usually propagated by sowing and cuttings. Select the mature seeds and sow them directly. For cuttings, generally cut the mother bulb longitudinally and then cut its scales and insert them obliquely into the substrate. After the leaves grow, fix the plant.
