Amazonlily Eucharis grandiflora

Amazonlily I like the article

Light AmazonlilyPosizione mezza ombra
It prefers partially shady locations, where it can be reached by the solar rays only 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 Amazonlily is a pretty delicate plant, which fears minimum temperatures below 15°C; during late spring it can be cultivated outdoors.

Cultivation Amazonlily
Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. Amazonlily isn't an evergreen; during the winter it assumes a white colouring; the adult species are medium in size and reach 50 cm in height. The Amazonlily develops bulbs or tubers.

Fertilize Amazonlily
Let’s add some organic fertilizer or humus to the soil, when planting our bulbous plants, in the spring or autumn; later let’s remember to start fertilizing when the flowers are withering, using, every 15-20 days, a specific fertilizer for bulbous plants.

Water AmazonlilyTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants with 1-2 glasses of water only when the soil is perfectly dry, generally it needs to be watered about every 1-2 weeks . Let's avoid to exceed. 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.

Pests Amazonlily
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.

Mold Amazonlily
We advise cultivating these bulbous plants in a soft and light, very well drained, soil.
