Eucharist Lily Bulbs (Eucharis amazonica) flower bulbs pack of 5

Eucharist Lily Bulbs(Eucharis grandiflora) from bulbs is a straightforward process, and with proper care, these bulbs can produce beautiful, fragrant blooms. Here’s how to plant and care for them:

1. Choosing the Right Bulbs

• Select healthy, firm bulbs free from rot, mold, or damage.
• Ensure the bulbs have intact basal plates (the flat part where roots grow).

2 Eucharist Lily Bulbs Timing

• Eucharist lily bulbs can be planted year-round in tropical or subtropical climates.
• For cooler climates, plant them indoors in late winter or early spring to enjoy blooms during warmer months.

3. Preparing the Bulbs

• Soak the bulbs in lukewarm water for 1–2 hours before planting to hydrate and encourage root growth.

4. Eucharist Lily Bulbs Choosing the Right Pot and Soil

• Pot: Use a pot with drainage holes. The plant prefers to be slightly root-bound, so select a container that’s just large enough to fit the bulbs with some room for growth.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A blend of loamy soil, peat moss, and perlite or sand works well. Add compost for extra nutrients.

5. Planting the Bulbs

1. Depth: Plant the bulbs so the tops (the pointed ends) are just above or at the soil surface.
2. Spacing: Space bulbs about 2–3 inches apart if planting multiple in one pot.
3. Cover the bulbs gently with soil, leaving the tops slightly exposed.

6. Watering After Planting

• Water the soil thoroughly after planting, ensuring it’s evenly moist but not soggy.
• Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering.

7. Eucharist Lily Bulbs Light and Temperature

• Place the pot in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Maintain a temperature of 60–75°F (16–24°C) for optimal growth.

8. Caring for the Bulbs as They Grow

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during active growth. Reduce watering slightly during the rest period after blooming.
• Humidity: Eucharist lilies thrive in high humidity. Use a pebble tray, humidifier, or mist the leaves regularly if the air is dry.
• Fertilizing: Feed the plant every 4–6 weeks with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.

9. Dormancy and Rest Period

• After flowering, the plant will enter a rest period. Reduce watering and stop fertilizing during this time.
• Keep the plant in a slightly cooler location (around 60°F or 16°C) with moderate light until new growth begins.
