Beautiful flowering after 7 weeks of cultivation. At the moment, only one stem with 4 very beautiful flowers. Here, the heart of the flowers is well marked with green, and with the carmine red, it is very beautiful. Thank you for the quality of your bulbs.

Description

Hippeastrum 'Charisma' is an indoor bulb plant with colours that are difficult to describe.

'Charisma' bears single white flowers that are heavily lined with red, with a pronounced red outline. These are grouped in fours at the top of the main stem. The shape of the flowers may resemble that of certain lilies. The green foliage is formed of long, narrow strips.

Amaryllis bulbs flower approximately 6 to 8 weeks after planting, depending on the room temperature.

Keep the pot in a well-lit place. Keep it warm if you want to speed up flowering, or in a cooler room at 10°C (50°F) to slow it down. Adding fertiliser is unnecessary before flowering, but necessary afterwards to replenish the bulb's reserves.

A bulb size of 36+ ensures significant reserve and exceptional flowering.

Planting and care

You can plant amaryllis bulbs from October to the end of April. Choose a pot that is not too large (one or two cm larger than the size of the bulb). Place a layer of drainage at the bottom. Mix half potting soil, half garden soil. Only bury the bulb halfway. Place the pot in a warm and bright place. Water sparingly until the stem appears. Then water daily. Your bulbs will bloom 6 to 8 weeks later.

If you choose multiple bulbs, plant them with a two-week interval to enjoy their beauty all winter.

After flowering, cut off the faded flowers and let the leaves continue to grow. Continue to water regularly and give them indoor plant fertiliser every 15 days. This is the time when the bulb rebuilds itself to prepare for next year's flowers. After 4 to 6 months, forget about your potted plants, and let them rest for about 3 months in a sheltered place. You can then remove the faded leaves, repot in fresh soil, and start a new growing cycle.
