Amaryllis blooms only once and then never again? Learn the care method and it will bloom wave after wave

Amaryllis flowers are very bright and colorful, and placing them indoors can serve as a great decorative touch. It also has many varieties, and its flowering period is from April to June, which is the peak blooming period.

Many flower lovers say their amaryllis blooms only once and then never again. Today, Hua'er will show you how to care for it so it blooms wave after wave.

1. Planting

Amaryllis is a bulb plant. When planting, do not bury it completely in the soil; half is enough. This way you can better observe changes in the bulb.

If the bulb becomes soft or stops growing, there is a good chance it is about to rot, and you need to deal with it quickly.

2. Light

Amaryllis is a light-loving plant, so during the growing period and flowering period it should be placed in a place with plenty of light to promote its metabolism. But pay special attention: especially since its flowering period is from April to June, the temperature keeps rising, the sun gets stronger, and sometimes there is also long-lasting rain. High temperature and high humidity can easily cause root rot, so make sure there is good ventilation, and at noon give it appropriate shade.

3. Watering and soil

Amaryllis does not need frequent watering; just water it when the soil looks dry. But make sure the soil is loose, as this helps it grow better.

4. Pruning

Amaryllis is also prone to "arrow clamping" (flower stalk stuck in the bulb). When you notice this, you need to help it shoot the arrow manually. You can put it in a place with a large temperature difference between day and night and supplement more light.

When the flowers are about to fade, just cut off the flowers. This can encourage the amaryllis to bloom a second time.
