Morphological characteristics

Amaryllis is 5-7.5 cm in diameter and has 6-8 creeping leaves. After flowering, it sends out first green leaves about 3.5 cm long and about 2.5 cm wide at the base. It prefers to live in a warm and humid environment. It is native to Brazil. There are quite a lot of horticultural works of amaryllis because it looks very beautiful, so many people generally use it as a horticultural plant. Amaryllis has certain requirements for light, water and soil; after all, every plant has different living habits, and there are also many varieties of amaryllis. Everyone is advised to learn about it because it is very suitable as an ornamental plant.

Bulb division method

Each year it can produce 2-3 small offset bulbs. You can also remove them and plant them separately, but be sure not to damage the roots of the small bulbs. When replanting, many things need attention. For example, cut the bulb into several parts and then divide it in half from the middle so that the lower end of each part has some bulb tissue and the root-bearing area, then insert them into a cutting bed mixed with peat soil and sand. With proper watering, after six weeks 1-2 small bulbs can form between the scales and roots will grow at the lower part. In this way, one mother bulb can produce many offset bulbs.

Seed sowing method and cutting method

Sowing, as the name suggests, means using seeds to grow flowers. Its germination rate is very high, and when sowing, the soil needs to be a mixture of two parts peat soil and one part sandy soil. The seeds are relatively large and convenient to plant. The germination temperature of its seeds is 15°C to 20°C, generally 10-15 days. After sowing, it takes 2-3 years before it can bloom. For the cutting method, take several scales from the mother amaryllis and insert the scales obliquely into stone sand. When two true leaves grow, it is time for planting. When planting the false bulb, if the potting soil is too loose, flowering may be reduced or the number of flowers may decrease, so do not let it be too loose. You can use a mixture of five parts sandy soil, 2 parts peat ash soil and one part sand. This kind of soil can let the plant grow better. The planting depth is best when 1/3 of the bulb is exposed above the soil surface.

Watering amaryllis

When watering amaryllis, be sure to keep it [appropriate], but it should only be invisible, and when watering you should water it thoroughly. Do not water too much, as it may cause water accumulation, which will affect the growth of amaryllis. The roots cannot breathe and will rot from being smothered. Keeping it moist is enough. But in summer, when evaporation is faster and the air is relatively dry, you can spray some water around to make the air a bit more humid. However, remember not to water too much, causing poor drainage and root rot. Watering also requires great care. You cannot water too little or too much. Too little easily causes drying out, and too much easily causes waterlogging.

Soil, sunlight and temperature for amaryllis

Amaryllis prefers sunlight. You can appropriately let it receive direct sunlight, but not for too long, because too long can easily cause the leaves to wither and sunburn. It is best to place it on a balcony or another bright and well-ventilated place, without strong light exposure, and it is best to let the soil for amaryllis be soil rich in minerals. Drainage must be good; otherwise, too much watering cannot drain away. There is a set of water purifiers. Remember not to use soil that is too sticky. In winter during the dormant period, it is enough to keep amaryllis in a greenhouse.
