| Cultural
information: This beautiful seasonal indoor flowering
house plant has always
been a favorite of the indoor gardener.
Amaryllis prefers a cool location. Keep the soil on the dry
side but not totally dry. Your Amaryllis plant will not need any
fertilizer while it is blooming.
After the flowers have bloomed out move your Amaryllis to a
dry, cool and dark area. Leave the plant in this location for
eight weeks. Don't water during this period. Remove any dead or
dieing foliage. After the eight week dormant period move the plant
to a well lit location and water thoroughly. Your Amaryllis should
bloom again in four to six weeks.
Amaryllis is available in 6" or 7" containers from mid November
thru the Christmas holiday. Your local Garden Center or Floral
Shop should have a good selection of plants on hand including
the new hybrid varieties. Learn more about Growing
Amaryllis Indoors.
