Size chart
Product Description
The hippeastrum, or Aphrodite amaryllis, is suitable for people inspired by Greek mythology. Every curve of the petal and subtlety colouring is nothing short of the result of the work of breeders from Japan.
Appearance and fragrance
The green backbone of the plant is made up of stalk-like leaves that spread out from a single rosette. The stem of Aphrodite is flat and short, which turns the already large white flower with crimson edges into a voluminous and large flowering cap. One stalk is capable of producing up to 5 buds, enveloping everything around it in a delicate scent of exotic fruit and flowers.
Flowering period: March to May.
Height: 40 cm.
Diameter of the flowers: up to 24 cm.
Flower shape: open.
Colour: white with a crimson edge.

How to Plant
Guide and tips for planting amaryllis(hippeastrum) bulbs
-
Choose a pot that is at least 4 cm wider than the bulb and has drainage holes in the bottom.
-
Fill the pot with well-draining soil, leaving about 2 cm of space at the top.
-
Place the bulb in the center of the pot, with the pointed end facing up.
-
Cover the bulb with soil, leaving the top one-third of the bulb exposed.
-
Water the soil until it is evenly moist, but not waterlogged.
-
Place the pot in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight.
-
Water the plant only when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch.
-
As the plant grows, support the stalk with a stake to prevent it from bending or breaking.
-
After the flowers have faded, cut the stem off at the base and continue to care for the plant by watering it regularly and providing it with bright, indirect sunlight.
