How to grow Alstroemeria

Pot soil selection

For potted Alstroemeria, you can choose a 12cm-15cm flowerpot and repot it as the Alstroemeria grows. It is best to choose loose, fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil by mixing leaf mold or peat soil with garden soil and coarse sand.

Light and temperature

Alstroemeria likes sunlight and needs sufficient light during its growth period. Insufficient light will affect the growth and flowering of the plant. In early spring, late autumn and winter when the daylight hours are short, supplementary lighting measures can be taken. In summer when the sunlight is too strong, shade can be provided to avoid exposure. The suitable growth temperature for Alstroemeria is between 15℃ and 25℃. It likes warmth and is not cold-resistant. It is also not heat-resistant in summer and needs a cooler climate. Keeping the temperature above 10℃ in winter can ensure safe wintering. When the temperature is too high in summer, it is easy to go dormant and needs to increase ventilation and spray water to cool down.

Water and fertilizer management

Alstroemeria likes moisture and needs sufficient water supply during the growing season to maintain a high humidity. It will be semi-dormant in summer and will also enter a dormant state in winter when the temperature is low. It is necessary to control the water content, keep it dry, or even stop watering. Be careful not to let the humidity in the pot be too high. Fertilization should be moderate. In addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer when planting, topdressing is also needed during the growth period. Generally, nitrogen fertilizer is applied to promote growth; potassium fertilizer is applied during the flowering period; during the high temperature period in summer, the number of fertilizations should be reduced.

Precautions for the cultivation of six petals

The propagation of Alstroemeria is mostly by sowing, which is carried out in autumn from October to November. Division is also possible, and it can also be done around October. In addition, tissue culture can also be performed.
