Caring for Your Amaryllis 'Wedding Dance'

Caring for your amaryllis is a truly rewarding experience, and it's easier than you might think!

• Light: Choose a spot that gets plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. Think of a sunny patio or a well-lit corner of your garden.

• Watering: Water thoroughly but allow the soil to dry out a little between waterings. This plant doesn't like 'wet feet'.

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A good quality sandy loam or a mix designed for bulbs works perfectly.

• When to Plant: Plant your Amaryllis in late winter or early spring to enjoy its magnificent blooms in the late spring or summer months. This timing is perfect for the South African climate! 🇿🇦

Bulbs can remain in the soil or be lifted once the foliage is yellow and has wilted.
