Amaryllis (Hippeastrum)

Amaryllis (Hippeastrum)

There is some confusion about the name, is it amaryllis or hippeastrum or both? Botanically speaking, hippeastrum is the only correct name for the species we grow indoors. Amaryllis belladonna is a bulbous plant from South Africa that can be planted in a warm spot in the garden and blooms in late summer.

Planting hippeastrum bulbs

With hippeastrum bulbs you can create blooms from winter until spring. Hippeastrum blooms depending on when you plant and water it after about 8-10 weeks. After flowering, you can enjoy the shiny green leaves for a long time. The hippeastrum likes a place with lots of light, preferably with sun. The hippeastrum blooms at a temperature between 15 and 25 degrees. Use humus-rich potting soil with organic fertilizer. Use a pot that is not too big, with about two centimeters of space around the bulb. The hippeastrum can be placed in the garden in summer but is not hardy.

 

Hippeastrum care

To keep a hippeastrum you have to let the leaves grow, give it some nutrition and put the pot in a light place. In the fall put it away cold (12C) for about 12 weeks, keep watering lightly. Then the cycle begins again and with a little luck you will be able to get the hippeastrum to flower again.
