Who grows amaryllis?
Today on the bus I saw two women have very beautiful large pink-red flowers on long stems. I had never seen anything like this before, so I couldn’t resist asking about the name. I heard in response “these are amaryllis.” Yandex says that these are indoor plants. Do any of the forum participants grow such flowers at home? Please tell me how difficult it is to care for them?
Amaryllis is a beautiful plant, by the way, native to Africa. Maintenance is quite simple. The temperature is from twenty degrees, the place needs to be brighter, the air is moderately humid. Decide for yourself how to water as the soil dries out. In summer, when the leaves fall, do not water at all. Deprive amaryllis of the dormant period - it will not bloom.
I only have this orange one. Easy to care for
I would like to add that the soil in the amaryllis pot should be constantly moist, especially during the flowering period. After the flowers fall, you should water less often. Within two months, the plant will shed all its leaves and “fall asleep” for a couple of months. It should be carefully trimmed and placed in the basement.
The main thing is not to forget to water them. And then they will grow well!!
