How often should I water Amaryllis?

During the maintenance period, Amaryllis requires a lot of water, especially during the flowering period. You can follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry and watering when the soil is wet, and also pay attention to the ventilation and air permeability of the maintenance environment.

Amaryllis has different water requirements in different seasons. For example, it needs more water during the growing period, and the amount of watering should be increased when it is approaching the flowering period. Don't water it when the soil feels moist.

1. Watering in spring

Amaryllis grows faster in spring and generally needs to be watered once a day. The principle of watering thoroughly without water accumulation should be followed. The specific amount of watering depends on the size of the flowerpot.

2. Watering in summer

The temperature is high in summer and the moisture in the soil evaporates quickly, so it is necessary to water the plants 1-2 times a day in the morning and evening.

3. Watering in autumn

In autumn, the growth rate of Amaryllis will slow down. According to the growth trend of the plant, the amount of watering should be gradually reduced. It is sufficient to water it once every 5 days or so and keep the soil in the pot dry.

4. Watering in winter

Winter is the dormant period of Amaryllis, so you can stop watering it at this time. If the soil in the pot is too dry, you can choose to water it appropriately at noon.

What kind of water is good for Amaryllis

1. Pour soapy water

Amaryllis can be watered with soapy water, which can promote the growth of the plant and help it bloom quickly, but be careful not to use it too frequently.

2. Rainwater

Rainwater can also be used to water amaryllis, but the frequency of watering should not be too high, because rainwater is acidic, but the plant prefers weakly alkaline soil.
