πŸ“ Expert Advice

🌾 Sowing Advice:

Amaryllis are generally propagated by cuttings or bulb division. Sowing is possible but uncommon; if so, sow in spring on the surface or shallowly in warm, light conditions, 18-24Β°C, germination 2-3 weeks; carefully transplant the seedlings when they are large enough.

πŸ§ͺ Fertilizer Advice:

In the open ground, give priority to natural mulch or plant waste. In pots, you can use liquid fertilizer 2 times, a month apart after flowering. After all, amaryllis is not a fertilizer-hungry plant, so it's not a must.

βœ‚οΈ Pruning:

After flowering, remove spent flower stems and prune foliage to keep the plant healthy.
