How to prepare soil for Amaryllis

1. Soil preparation method

1. Amaryllis is a relatively easy-to-grow flower and does not have strict requirements for soil. However, if you want it to grow more healthily, you should try to prepare soil with good water permeability for it. You can mix pine needles, perlite, garden soil and a small amount of vermiculite. This kind of soil will have better water retention and air permeability. However, it needs nutrients to maintain its growth, so it needs to be fertilized once a month.

2. You can also use humus, garden soil and river sand to prepare soil for cultivation. Such soil contains sufficient nutrients and is also a good substrate for cultivating amaryllis. The air permeability of the soil is also very important. You can mix garden soil, pine needles, river sand and coal slag in a ratio of 5:2:2:1.

2. Precautions

Repotting: Because it has good growth ability, it can be grown directly in garden soil, but there are very few nutrients in such soil, so the pot must be repotted every year, otherwise the nutrients in the soil will be lost and it will easily become compacted.
