Brilliant! I got two stems with 4 and 5 flowers respectively, and now there's a third flowering coming.

Description

Amaryllis 'Picotee' is a bulbous plant with large open trumpet flowers in white to pink colours, marginated with an intense red edge. Highly appreciated for its large flowers, Amaryllis plants know how to bring colour during the greyest periods of the year.

Amaryllis 'Picotee' is a variety with flowers appearing before the foliage, in an alternate manner. Its leaves are dark green and shiny, with elongated shapes and rounded ends. It has a flowering period that occurs from January to May and from September to December, composed of large open trumpet flowers with petals ranging from white to pink, marginated with an intense red edge. Generally, the flowers are grouped in sets of 3 or 4 at the top of a strong stem measuring 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20in) tall.

 

Not very hardy, it should be cultivated in pots or containers to protect it from frost. A sunny exposure is recommended.

Planting and care

How to plant my Amaryllis? You can plant Amaryllis bulbs from October to late April.  Choose a pot that is not too big,1-2cm (1in) larger than the size of the bulb. Place a layer of drainage at the bottom. Mix half potting compost, half garden soil. Only bury the bulb halfway. Place the pot in a warm and bright location. Water sparingly until the stem appears. Then water daily. 6 to 8 weeks later, your bulbs will flower. Our advice: if you choose multiple bulbs, plant them with a two-week interval to enjoy the beauty of Amaryllis all winter.

How to make my Amaryllis flower again? After flowering, remove the faded flowers and let the leaves develop. Continue to water regularly and give them indoor plant fertiliser every 15 days. This is when the bulb replenishes itself to prepare for next year's flowers. After 4 to 6 months, forget about your potted plants, 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.
