Amaryllis scores with flexible planting time - How to control the beginning of flowering
An amaryllis bulb has a natural temperature sensor that prevents it from sprouting under unfavorable climatic conditions. As a hobby gardener you benefit from this attribute in the form of a flexible planting time. How the floral mechanism works, we explain to you practice-oriented.
Autumnal planting initiates wintry flowers
As long as you store a Ritterstern bulb dark and cool, at 5-8 degrees Celsius, there is no life inside. Only when the substrate exceeds the 10-degree mark and room temperatures prevail in the bright location, stems and buds move to light. As a result, another 6 to 8 weeks drag in the country until the flower in all its splendor staged. That is how it goes:
The warmer the site, the faster the growth of buds and flowers progresses. If the mercury column fluctuates between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius, your Ritterstern will reliably stick to this schedule, provided that it receives the appropriate care.
Amaryllis bulb needs air to breathe
All strategic planning for the best planting date will go nowhere when you completely sink a Knight's Star onion into the substrate. Please always wrap the tuber in half so that it is exposed.
Tips
A knight star planted in early autumn has the potential for another flowering in summer. Cut off only the withered flowers and the hollow stems. On the partially shaded, warm window seat, water regularly and fertilize every 14 days. After a regeneration of 6 to 8 weeks, your Amaryllis - with a little luck - puts on her flower dress a second time.
