During the growing period, amaryllis needs sunlight, warmth and watering, otherwise it will dry out and the leaves will turn yellow. During the growing season, when it begins to produce flowers, it is recommended to hide it in partial shade.
The most beautiful flowers will develop if the temperature does not exceed 18 C.
What should be the pot for amaryllis
The amaryllis pot should be deep rather than wide.
How to care for Amaryllis in a pot
Start by cutting off the flower stem at the base of the bulb.
At the same time, gradually reduce the volume and frequency of watering, since faded amaryllis needs less moisture.
Move the flower pot to a cool place protected from direct sunlight.
How often to water amaryllis during flowering
During flowering, daily watering is required.
When temperatures drop during the winter dormant period, watering can be reduced to 1-2 times a week - just keep the soil slightly moist.
What to do with Amaryllis when it has bloomed
Amaryllis should be kept in a bright room all the time after flowering, protected from drafts.
A gradual reduction in the amount of watering leads to the natural death of leaves.
A plant that has lost all its leaves can be placed in a cool, dark place for 2-3 months.
