How to Grow and Care for Butterfly amaryllis

Butterfly amaryllis

Butterfly amaryllis is a bulbous perennial known for its easy care requirements. It thrives in bright, indirect light and requires well-draining soil. A special care point is to avoid overwatering, as butterfly amaryllis is sensitive to excessive moisture that can lead to bulb rot. Allow the soil to dry between waterings. During dormancy after blooming, reduce watering until new growth appears.

Butterfly amaryllis showcases remarkable blossoms, each approximately 6 inches (15 cm) wide, composed of three petals and sepals, collectively known as tepals. These floral components exhibit a pale cream hue, a chartreuse throat, and are intricately striped with maroon. The fleshy, strap-shaped leaves measure about 2 feet (60 cm) in length and the flowers are borne atop sturdy stems rising well above the foliage. After the flowering phase, butterfly amaryllis produces sizable seed pods. Slender, evergreen leaves persist in mild climates, ensuring continual greenery.
