1. Flowering Period

Normally, a single Amaryllis plant can bloom twice a year. Once in the summer and once in the winter. The flowering period is about ten days. If the environmental conditions meet its growth habits, the flowering period can be extended to 15 days, and it can bloom every year.

2. Flowering period maintenance

1 , Light and temperature: Amaryllis likes warm, humid and cool climate, and is intolerant of heat. During the flowering period, ensure six hours of astigmatism every day. If it is raised outdoors, it should be properly shaded when the sun is strong at noon. When blooming in winter, place it in a warmer place and adjust the temperature to between 18 and 25 degrees. Avoid placing it in cold places such as doors and windows to prevent frostbite. If you have floor heating at home, place it at a high place to prevent the floor heating from burning the plants.

2. Watering: During its flowering period, the frequency of watering needs to be adjusted appropriately to ensure that the soil is moist and there is no water accumulation. When watering, you can touch the soil while watering. If the soil is completely moist but does not clump, it means the water is well watered.

3. Fertilization: Before the blooming period, you can apply a small amount of thin fertilizer containing more phosphorus to promote flowering.

3. Post-flowering management

After the amaryllis flowers fade, the flower stalks should be cut off to concentrate the nutrients. This is beneficial to bulb growth. In addition, you should fertilize it every twenty days or so to promote bulb growth and encourage it to produce new bulbs.
