Hippeastrum rutilum

Hippeastrum rutilum I like the article

Irrigation Hippeastrum rutilumTenere asciutto
Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 1-2 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 1-2 glasses of water . These plants don't need too much water; staying in a soil which is too damp, can easily cause the development of rotten in the bulbs.

Temperatures Hippeastrum rutilumSole pieno
Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of sunlight. These plants don't like cold temperatures, therefore in the spring it is best to place them outside only when temperatures are above 15°C.If necessary we can extract the bulbs from the ground, during the vegetative rest; after letting them dry we should place them in a cool, dry and dark place. During the most indicated season we can plant them again.

Care Hippeastrum rutilum
These plants have trunks or roots which store nourishment, originating bulbs or tubers. These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form. The Hippeastrum rutilum is small in size and 30 cm in height; in the summer it assumes a red colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year.

Adversity Hippeastrum rutilum
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Substrate Hippeastrum rutilum
Locate in a deep and dissolved soil, with an accentuated drainage.
