Store Amaryllis onion properly - light and heat are undesirable

If the knight star bloomed again during the summer, cut off the withered flowers and the main stock promptly. The green leaves remain unaffected by the preparatory measures.

Following the preparatory work, the open-air season will end in September on sunny, warm grounds in the garden or on the balcony for your Ritterstern. Now put the onion in the pot in a dark room with temperatures between 5 and 9 degrees Celsius. In the course of October cut off the collected leaves. By November, no further care measures are to be taken.
Store garden amaryllis correctly - Tips & Tricks
A garden amaryllis is as hardy as a knight's star. Before the first frost, please dig the onion, because less than -1 degrees Celsius the summer flower will not stand. At this time, all aboveground plant parts are retracted and can be cut off. You can keep the onions in different ways:
While the rest period for the Ritterstern ends in November, store the garden amaryllis in the cool, dark cellar until March / April.
