Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) Picasso

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.
