Amaryllis Cherry Nymph

A showy variety of the genus Amaryllis (Hippeastrum), known for its large, full flowers in deep red with delicate white threads on the petals.

The flowers are double (many-layered) and have an exceptionally decorative appearance, which makes the plant a favourite for growing in pots and as festive decoration.

Flowers mainly in winter or early spring when grown indoors.

Easy to grow, it prefers a bright position and moderate watering.

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.
