The amaryllis, beloved by many, blooms with large umbrella-shaped inflorescences, which consist of 6-12 flowers of various colors.

According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , at this time the perennial needs special care.

So, the air temperature in the room where the flower is located should be from 17 to 25 degrees. If you want to enjoy the view of the flowering plant longer, the pot should be kept cold.

During the growing season, bright diffused light is of great importance. At the same time, do not forget to shade the amaryllis from direct sunlight.

It is better to place a flowerpot with a flowering plant on a south-west or south-east window.

If you know that the windowsill is cold, put a piece of thick cardboard under the flowerpot, for example. And under no circumstances should you keep the flower near heating devices.

The air humidity we are accustomed to is optimal for amaryllis; excess moisture is fraught with the development of fungal diseases.

You can start watering when the height of the flower stalk reaches 10 cm, making sure that water does not stagnate in the pot.
