• Origin: Native to South America, particularly Brazil, Peru, and Argentina.

• Flower type: Large, trumpet-shaped blooms, available in red, white, pink, salmon, orange, striped, or multicolor.

• Growth type: Grown from large, fleshy bulbs that store energy to produce flowers.

Bulb Characteristics

• Shape: Round to oval, with papery brown outer layers.

• Size: Larger bulbs (8–12 cm in diameter) produce more and bigger flowers.

Planting Time

• Best planted in autumn or winter indoors (for winter/spring blooms).

• In tropical climates, they can be planted outdoors almost year-round, avoiding extreme heat.

How to Plant Amaryllis Bulbs

1. Container or Ground?

   • Indoors: Use a pot 2–5 cm wider than the bulb.

   • Outdoors: Well-draining soil, raised beds preferred.

2. Depth:

   • Leave the top 1/3 of the bulb above the soil to prevent rot.

3. Soil:

   • Well-draining mix—garden soil + sand + compost (or potting mix with added perlite).

4. Watering:

   • Water once after planting, then sparingly until shoots appear.

   • Keep soil slightly moist, not soggy.

5. Light:

   • Bright, indirect sunlight indoors.

   • Outdoors—morning sun, afternoon shade.

Blooming Cycle

• Usually blooms 6–10 weeks after planting.

• Each bulb can produce 1–3 flower stalks, with 2–6 blooms each.

• Flowers last 2–3 weeks.

After Flowering Care

• Cut the flower stalk after blooms fade, but keep the leaves to allow energy storage in the bulb.

• Feed with a balanced fertilizer every 2–4 weeks.

• Reduce watering as leaves start to yellow, then allow bulb to go dormant for 8–12 weeks before replanting.

Care Tips

• Fertilizer: Balanced (10-10-10) during growth; high potash before dormancy.

• Temperature: Prefers 18–24°C while growing, slightly cooler during dormancy.

• Pests/Diseases: Watch for bulb rot, red blotch (fungus), mealybugs, and aphids.
