To avoid that the bulb or tuber should become rotten, we must remember to avoid excessively abundant waterings, which keep the soil wet for a long time. We suggest watering these plants only from time to time, but we must remember to wet the soil deeply using 1-2 glasses of water every 1-2 weeks .
Generalities Hippeastrum
Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. Hippeastrum isn't an evergreen; during the winter it assumes a red colouring; the adult species are medium in size and reach 50 cm in height. The Hippeastrum develops bulbs or tubers.
Exposure Hippeastrum
Locate this plant in a partially shady place, where it can receive the sunrays during the coolest hours of the day. During the period of vegetative rest, it’s possible to take the bulbs or tubers out of the ground; the well cleaned and dried bulbs should be placed in a cool, dry and dark place; to be planted later on during the most indicated time of year.The Hippeastrum needs a minimum temperature superior to 15°C, during this time of the year it is best to check the night temperatures before setting it outside.

Treatments Hippeastrum
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.
Soil Hippeastrum
We advise cultivating these bulbous plants in a soft and light, very well drained, soil.
