Choose a large, healthy bulb to bloom better. Check that the bulb is firm and not moldy or soft to the touch. The bigger the bulb, the more flowers you will get, so buy the biggest one possible.

Select a pot with bottom holes to prevent water from gathering there. Pot with a mix of garden soil, sand, and compost if possible. Place the bulb in the pot with one-third exposed above the ground. Water sparingly after planting to settle.

Position the pot in a position where it receives bright, indirect light. Half a day’s sunshine is ideal in India since direct sun scorches the leaves. Sunlight in the mornings is ideal for robust growth and tough crops.

Water the plant when the topsoil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering causes root rot. Reduce watering during the resting period (following flowering) so that the bulb can rest. Always check the soil first before watering.

Fertilize the plant with liquid balanced fertilizer every two weeks while it is being used. Overfertilizing will make the plant produce more leaves and fewer flowers. Fertilize just the right amount to have the best flowers.

Amaryllis prefers 18-30°C temperatures. If the weather becomes too hot, relocate the plant to a shaded and cool area. If the atmosphere is too dry, sprinkle little water on the leaves to maintain humidity levels.

When the flower stalks grow tall, they might require support so that they don’t fall over. Support them with a small stake or stick and never curve.

After the flowers have dropped, trim the flower stems but not the leaves. The leaves provide energy for the next flower cycle. Trim yellow or wilted leaves to maintain the appearance of the plant.

After the growing phase, allow the plant to dry out. Discontinue watering and allow the leaves to wilt naturally. Dry the bulb in a dry, cool location for 8-10 weeks. Replant and water to produce flowers once more.

Tend to pests such as aphids and mealybugs. Remove them manually or use an organic pesticide if necessary. Do not overwater to avoid root rot and fungal infections. Amaryllis striped can be considered with amaryllis double
