How to Take Care of Amaryllis Apple Blossom 24/26
When planting the Amaryllis bulb, ensure it is placed up to three quarters of its height in the pot. Water the bulb well after planting, and then refrain from watering until the leaves appear above the bulb. This is to prevent waterlogging, which can inhibit flower production. It is important to place the pots in direct sunlight at room temperature for optimal growth.
After the flower fades, clip it off while leaving the green foliage intact. Treat the plant like a houseplant, watering regularly and fertilizing. In the summer, stop watering and let the plant dry out. In September, remove the bulb from the pot and store it in a cool dark place for about 8 to 10 weeks to provide a period of rest.
At the end of this rest period, the bulb is ready to be forced into flower again. Repot the bulb in a pot that is only slightly larger in circumference than the bulb itself, and place it in a sunny spot. Resume watering and feeding the plant when it begins to grow again. To prevent diseases, you can spray the plant with an anti-fungicide or apply it weekly if any problems arise during the growing season.
With proper care, your Amaryllis Apple Blossom 24/26 will continue to produce stunning flowers year after year.
