Amaryllis are coming with flower bud inside so they are very simple to grow.
You will need:
| Flower bulb |
| 22cm pot |
| Water |
| Bowl |
| Peat-free compost |
You need to soak amaryllis bulb with roots in bowl of water for couple of hours before potting them. Fill pot with some compost and gently put bulb in place. Top of bulb should be above compost.
Fill pot with compost and water well. Add more compost if needed.
You can add layer of grit or stones for decoration and to keep moisture in.
