Amaryllis Black Pearl 34cm+

Indoor flowering in winter/early spring. Pot up in a good quality loam or compost and ensure the compost is well positioned around the roots of the bulb. Only half cover the bulb with the compost and store in an area with plenty of access to heat. With sufficient heat, the growth of these bulbs can begin any time in the winter.

During the growing season you should feed with liquid manure and water regularly. When growth of the bulb is complete, water can be gradually withheld and the bulb can be given a rest for about 3 months. Only start the withholding of water once the leaves are well developed and ripening (yellowing). The bulb does not need repotting every year.
