Light: Amaryllis will do best when grown in bright indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight in the early morning or late evening (when the suns rays are not so intense) will be beneficial to your plant. When growing inside, a southern exposure is best, but can be grown in an east or west window as well. Your glass window can intensify spring and summer sunlight, so be careful that the direct sunlight does not burn your leaves. In northern exposures, you may need to provide additional light or move your plants outside when temperatures permit. When producing a bloom stalk, you will need to turn the plant every day to keep the stalk growing straight. These plants can grow so fast, forgetting to turn the plant for a couple of days can result in an arching inflorescence. This will make the plant more likely to tip than when the flower stalks are straight and upright. Fertilizer: Good leaf growth is your sign to begin fertilizing. With good leaf growth, the plant will be photosynthesizing and able to use all the nutrients in your fertilizer. Any all-purpose fertilizer like 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 will work fine. We suggest mixing the fertilizer 1/4 to 1/2 strength (according to the directions) and watering with this solution every other week while in active growth. Stop fertilizer about 1 month before dormancy to give the plant a chance to slow down and prepare for its winter slumber.
