Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) First Love

Guide and tips for planting amaryllis (Hippeastrum) bulbs

• Choose a pot that is at least 4 cm wider than the bulb and has drainage holes in the bottom.
• Fill the pot with well-draining soil, leaving about 2 cm of space at the top.
• Place the bulb in the centre of the pot, with the pointed end facing up.
• Cover the bulb with soil, leaving the top one-third of the bulb exposed.
• Water once until the soil is evenly moist, then keep it only slightly moist until the first shoot appears.
• Place the pot in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight.
• As the plant grows, support the stalk with a stake if needed.
• After the flowers have faded, cut the stem off at the base and keep the leaves growing. See our Planting and Care guide for reblooming.
