Hippeastrum Cybester Bogota - Amaryllis

The Amaryllis Bogota thrives in full sun or partial shade in any moist soil. Indoors, place it in bright light. For pot cultivation, allow 2 cm (1in) around the bulb and use a heavy pot to prevent it from tipping under the weight of the Amaryllis, which tends to lean towards the sun. Use a light, well-draining soil, either neutral or slightly acidic. In a pot, leave half of the bulb above the soil to prevent the neck from staying wet and rotting from watering. It also provides more space for the soil. Plant your Amaryllis bulbs from October to January, depending on the desired flowering period, bearing in mind that there should be a 6-week gap between planting and flowering. After flowering, cut off the flowers and let the foliage grow. At the end of summer, allow the soil to dry out and trim off the dry leaves. 6 weeks later, repot the bulb in fresh soil.
