Amaryllis Amarantia (Red)

Amaryllis Amarantia is an absolutely charming variety. Globe-shaped double flowers that colour to a deep red.

The flowers appear on the stems about six to eight weeks after the bulbs are planted. They open gradually, so the plants remain decorative for a long time.

Amaryllis plants should be grown in pots, where they delight as interior decoration. You can also cut them and put them in vases, where they stay fresh and beautiful for a long time.

How to grow

The more abundant the light the amaryllis receives, the more intense the colour of the flowers.

During flowering the plant should not be exposed to direct sunlight, because its magnificent blooms will fade prematurely. While the amaryllis is in bloom, it is appropriate to move it to a cooler place.

While the bulb is sprouting, it should not be watered heavily. The need for water increases slightly shortly before the flowers burst open.

While the flowers are opening, the plant should be fed with fertilisers for flowering plants.
