Summer maintenance methods of Amaryllis

Moisture

Amaryllis prefers a humid environment, but there must be no stagnant water, and it should not be watered too much to avoid the possibility of rotting of the bulb. When watering, water thoroughly to keep the plants moist. As for humidity, the normal humidity in the room is usually sufficient.

fertilizer

Amaryllis likes fertilizer very much. In summer, you can apply some phosphorus fertilizer or potassium fertilizer, use less nitrogen fertilizer, and add some superphosphate to the soil as base fertilizer. Or you can use cake fertilizer water once every twenty days. You don't need to fertilize until late autumn.

illumination

Amaryllis also likes sunlight and can accept short-term direct sunlight, but not for a long time. It is best to keep it in front of a bright window with good light and ventilation. In summer, it is recommended to maintain it in a semi-shaded place, and in midsummer, if the weather is too hot, it is necessary to provide shade.

prune

After the flowers have bloomed and fallen, we need to cut off the pedicels in time. This will allow the nutrients to be better distributed to the bulbs, so that the bulbs can fully absorb and grow healthily, and can also grow some new bulbs or become larger. This can also be said to be an important purpose of pruning pedicels.
