Description
Amaryllis or Hippeastrum Samba is a bulbous plant intended for indoor cultivation that offers magnificent semi-double flowers with petals of a beautiful deep red, striated and marginated with bright white: remarkable!
Belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family and originating from the tropical and subtropical regions of Central and South America, Hippeastrum is not at all hardy, its cultivation outdoors is not possible in our climate. Enjoy it when it is planted in the warmth of the home (or in a heated conservatory), while the garden is still asleep.
Amaryllis is a plant with a large bulb whose large and elegant flowers resemble those of the lily. They are generally grouped in fours at the top of a strong main stem, 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20in) tall and adorned with long green, narrow leaves.
Its flowering occurs from December to April, 6 to 8 weeks after planting. It depends on the temperature of the room in which the Amaryllis is planted: always in a well-lit place, you should keep the pot in a well-heated room to accelerate its flowering or in a cooler room, around 10°C (50°F), to slow it down.
Did you know? The Latin name "Amaryllis" was the subject of heated discussions among botanists: originally, this name actually referred to another plant, similar in appearance and native to South Africa: Amaryllis belladonna. When Carl von Linnaeus used this name to refer to it but also to refer to Hippeastrum (are you still following?), there was an outcry and the battle raged until 1987 when botanists decided: the Latin name Amaryllis is reserved for the African species Belladonna but should no longer be used as the Latin name for Hippeastrum.

Planting and care
How to plant my Amaryllis? You can plant Amaryllis bulbs from October to the end of 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.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
