Cultural
information: This low growing bulb like houseplant produces star shaped
clusters of white flowers held high above the plant. Each cluster
contains 3 - 6 fragrant white flowers. Amazon Lily should bloom 2 or 3
times a year. One trick to coaxing your plant to bloom is to keep the plant in
a cool (not cold) location for a week, then return it to its
normal spot.
Eucharis Lilies
are quite simple to grow. They don't require a lot of natural light.
If there is enough light to cast a shadow, the Amazon lily will
survive in that location. Bright filtered light is best as it aids
the plant in producing flowers.
Amazon Lily does not require a lot of water. Keep the soil moist, allowing the surface
to dry to the touch between waterings. Do not let your Amazon Lily
sit in a saucer of water. This will cause root rot and your plant
will suffer a slow death.
Feed bi-monthly with a
balanced liquid plant food to keep the foliage of Eucharis Lily
its natural glossy green color.
Propagation is done by dividing the plant. If you're not a
seasoned indoor houseplant gardener we recommend bringing your
Amazon Lily to your local garden center to be divided.
Amazon Lilies are usually available in 6",
8" and 10" containers.
