How to Sow and Plant

Sow amaryllis seeds or bulbs in well-drained, fertile soil about 2–3 cm deep. Space them 15–20 cm apart in beds or large containers. Keep the soil moist (not waterlogged) while germinating. Place in bright light or full sun for best root and foliage development. Germination from seeds may take a few weeks; be patient.

How to Grow

Plant amaryllis in bright light or full sun to partial shade. Water moderately, allowing the topsoil to slightly dry between waterings. Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during growth and blooming periods. Remove spent blooms to encourage tidy plant appearance. Protect from strong winds due to tall flower stalks.
