How do I grow amaryllis bulbs?
amaryllis bulbs are grown in a bright indirect sunlight and soil with a large amount of sand content. The plant is often started inside in a clay pot. Amaryllis bulbs are planted in nutrient dense soil and sometimes added fertilizer to support growth and prolonged flowers. As the shooting ripens, it can be held with a wooden bet, because the flower can be heavy and the stem is relatively thin and poor. You can also buy bone meal or superphosphate for fertilization of the plant and add basic nutrients, phosphorus. Do not forget to leave 2 inches (5.08 cm) the space between the edge of the clay pot and the amaryllis bulb and leave half the upper part of the bulb uncovered. Also, fill the pot only partially full soil, which allows sufficient watering of the plant. First, press the soil and the bulb down to ensure that the soil is slightly compressed and the bulb is set. Light, rather than heavy compression, will help prevent the plant from ripening.
For initial watering, soak the whole pot in the water, sink, tub or other large shallow vessels. Wait for the pot to stop before it removes it, because it ensures that the roots are reasonably connected. From now on, make sure that the soil keeps the soil but unmistakable to prevent the roots from rotting. Finally, place a pot in an area of bright, indirect sunlight and growth should be observed in just one to two weeks.
As the plant grows, flowers begin to bloom on top of the stems when they become more robust. Amaryllis will often grow in a height of 2 feet (0.6 m). The leaves begin at the base of the bulb and ventilate from the base of the stem. Abilate, a fleshy substance surrounds and protects the bulb amryllis and provides food to make the plant to succeed. This own food source causes regular fertilization to usually unnecessary.
When transferring Amaryllis plants to outdoor settings, it is important to keep the entire NEP root systemŘezený. This is particularly important for Amyllis plant, because some nutrients are actually stored in the root system. The bulbs should be harvested before the first frost of winter to ensure their survival.
