ADDITIONAL CARE

Hippeastrum | knight’s Star | Amaryllis form a flower bud, the plant needs a rest period. In autumn, watering is reduced, after the yellowing of the leaves, the plant is stopped to water and placed for 2-3 months in a dry, warm, unintended place. Water only once per week, even in dry spells, as over-watering will cause stem rot and red rust. Never water over the bulb nose – go around the sides instead. Moreover, flowering will occur anytime between December and March. One or two sprays with Mancozeb fungicide can be helpful. After flowering is finished (usually within 2-3 weeks), however, cut flower stems close to the bulb. You can then take the bulb out of the pot (with its leaves) and plant it in the garden or a larger pot as preferred (put some well-decayed cow manure into the soil first).
