Caring for Amaryllis in a Jar - This guide shows how to do it
You have done a good job as a hobby gardener when your amaryllis pushes the bulging buds towards the light in the glass. For the beauty of winter to reach the zenith of its splendor, it now depends on the right care. This guide explains in detail how a knight star without soil thrives wonderfully.
Replace turbid water
Supreme premise for a long-lasting flowering in the glass is the protection against rot. In this regard, please pay attention to a distance of 5-6 cm between onion and water level. So that the roots do not rot in the water, it is exchanged at the first signs of cloudiness. If you add a bit of charcoal, the water stays crystal clear for longer.
Care during the flowering period - Take care
In addition to the repeated exchange of water, only the following care measures for a knight star in the glass are relevant:
Please only start the care work with over-striped gloves. Direct contact with the poisonous sap may cause severe allergic reactions.
Please pot at the end of the flowering season
Far too hastily, a withered knight star is disposed of in the glass. In fact, the flowering period leads to a summery growth period, during which a new bud develops in the interior of the onion. Cover the amaryllis with their long leaves in a porous substrate. It is important to note that the tuber is only half covered in the substrate.
On the sunny, warm balcony pour and fertilize the Ritterstern until July. After an eight- to twelve-week rest period in the cool, dark cellar, you can look forward to Christmas time, a renewed flower show.
Tips
An amaryllis does not necessarily have to stand in soil to produce a fruit with valuable seeds. If a knight's star thrives in the glass, use a soft brush to stroke pollen and stamens from the third day of the flower opening. Within 6 to 8 weeks you can harvest and sow the ripe seeds.
