Amaryllis


ว่านสี่ทิศ Wan-see-tit or Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) is a true bulb that originated in the tropical areas of South America. Thus, it is a tender bulb. It performs best when grown under warm (70 to 75 oF) temperatures for 9 to 10 months to promote flowering and vegetative growth, followed by 2 to 3 months of either cool (55 oF) dry storage or cool (55 oF) growing conditions. The use of one of the latter conditions is required to promote reflowering of the bulb.

It's an easy growning plant that can be grown both outdoor and indoor. Here in Thailand, almost all of us grown them outdoor and she never need very much attention !!

Amaryllis can be grown outside in Climatic Zones 8 to 10. In other climatic zones. In cold and frozen countries the plants can be placed outside after the danger of frost has passed. Plunge the entire pot in the garden bed and fertilize the bulb 2 to 3 times per month. Avoid placing the bulb where it will dry out excessively. In cooler climatic zones, the plants must be brought indoors in September.
