How to take care of Crinum Garden amaryllis
Plant Crinum Garden amaryllis in a sunny sheltered spot, in well-drained soil enriched with lots of organic material and bone meal. The tip of the bulb should be just visible above the surface of the soil. Ensure that you have allowed sufficient space, as Crinum Garden amaryllis can grow quite large. Crinum Garden amaryllis are also suitable for growing in pots, which should be brought indoors for winter. If planted in borders to survive harsh winters apply a mulch (straw or newspaper) over them to avoid any frost damage. Remove when all danger of frost has passed. Crinum Garden amaryllis may be divided every 3-5 years because Crinum Garden amaryllis are long and deep rooted, and it's best to dig up the whole clump and then remove the side bulbs rather than try to slice them off while still in the ground. Division is best done in late autumn.
