Amaryllis Amadeus Candy (Cream)

Also known as amaryllis, it is an impressive variety with large, full flowers.

The delicate combination of candy pink and creamy white makes the plant an elegant decoration for the home in the winter months.

It is suitable for growing in a pot and, with proper care, can flower again in the following years.

How to grow

Planting: Plant the bulb in a pot with drainage holes and loose, well-drained soil. Leave its upper half above the surface.

Position: Place the pot in a warm, bright place, protected from cold draughts.

Watering: Water moderately after planting. Water sparingly until growth appears, and once the flower stalk has developed keep the soil slightly moist without overwatering it.

During flowering: Turn the pot periodically so the flower stalk grows upright.

After flowering: Remove the spent flower stalk, but keep the leaves. Continue with moderate watering and feeding so that the bulb can recover.

Dormant period: Reduce watering and let the bulb rest in a cool, dry place before starting a new growing cycle.
