Amaryllis Benito is a double-flowered plant. This beautiful flower can decorate pots and planters for 10-15 years, and sometimes up to 20 years!

Appearance and aroma

Amaryllis always looks elegant and well-groomed. The linear leaves are concentrated below, near the ground, and large buds, holding on to dense light green stems, reign supreme. The flower has a tendency to grow and lose both height and flowering, so the fragrant plant is placed in small containers to maintain a neat appearance. The smell of the variety has a pronounced sweetness and floral motifs.

  • Flowering period: March-May.

How to Plant?

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 center of the pot, with the pointed end facing up.
  • Cover the bulb with soil, leaving the top one-third of the bulb exposed.
  • Water the soil until it is evenly moist, but not waterlogged.
  • Place the pot in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight.
  • Water the plant only when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch.
  • As the plant grows, support the stalk with a stake to prevent it from bending or breaking.
  • After the flowers have faded, cut the stem off at the base and continue to care for the plant by watering it regularly and providing it with bright, indirect sunlight.
