Football lily Bulb Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Choose the Right Locationa

Scientific: Football lily Bulb The Haemanthus plant is native to southern Africa and is appreciated for its bold-looking flowers, which often bloom in shades of pink, red, or white. The Haemanthus Pink bulb form is especially popular for clusters of pink flowers. This bulb grows with special care, but it is a well-rewarding flowering plant when it blooms.

Here is how to grow Haemanthus (Football Lily) Bulbs:

1. Select the Right Location Football lily Bulb

Indoor: Haemanthus plants are often grown as houseplants because of their preference for warm indoor temperatures. They love bright light but do not like direct sunlight; direct sunlight can cause scorching of the leaves.

Outdoor. Plant outdoors in warm climates when USDA hardiness zones 9 through 11 have well-draining soil. Since the bulbs will not tolerate long, full, direct sun exposure, it is ideal to place it in partial shade. also grow amaryllis red lion in same method

2. Prepare the soil

Container. Select a good-draining potting soil. You may also add some sand or perlite to improve drainage in your potting soil.

In the garden: Haemanthus prefers well-draining sandy or loamy soil. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with compost or sand to make it drain better.

3. Football lily Bulb Plant the Bulbs

Plant at a depth of 2–3 inches (5–7 cm), covering the top of the bulb just below the soil surface.

Spacing: Space the bulbs 6–12 inches (15–30 cm) apart, depending on the bulb size, for space to expand and spread out.

4. Watering

After planting water bulbs very well. After the plants start growing keep the soil slightly moist. The haemanthus plant likes slight moist conditions and not water logged. Do not water over abundantly when it’s not in a growth mode.

During dormancy: Haemanthus bulbs go into dormancy during part of the year, particularly during winter. During dormancy, water less so that the bulb can rest.

5. Fertilizing

Growing season (spring and summer): Feed the plant with a balanced fertilizer once a month. A diluted liquid fertilizer is ideal because it provides nutrients to encourage growth and flowering.

Rest period (autumn and winter): Do not feed during the resting period when the plant is not growing actively.

6. Football lily Bulb Temperature and Humidity

Haemanthus plants are happy within the temperature range of 15°C–27°C (60°F–80°F). They flourish in average humidity but don’t need a high humidity level.

If you have the plant indoors, you can add a little bit of extra moisture by keeping it on a humidity tray (a small tray filled with pebbles and water).

7. Inducing Blooming

Also Haemanthus typically flowers in late spring to early summer, depending on the growing conditions. The flowers bloom in big, spherical masses that look like a football, usually pink, red, or white.
