Water: Amaryllis 'Estella' thrives in moist soil, requiring frequent watering during spring and summer (every 1-2 days) and daily during flowering. In winter, reduce watering to 1-2 times weekly. Avoid direct water on the bulb or foliage, and mist the surrounding air to enhance humidity.

Fertilize: Amaryllis 'Estella' should be fertilized one month after planting, using phosphate and potash monthly before flowering. Loosen soil before each fertilization and stop once blooming begins. After flowers fade, switch to high nitrogen and potassium fertilizers. Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent burning or weak growth.

Pruning: Amaryllis 'Estella' features beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers with seasonal blooms. Prune early to late spring after flowering, removing spent blooms and damaged leaves. This promotes bulb growth, enhances air circulation, and encourages vigorous flowering. Use clean, sharp tools and avoid over-trimming for optimal health.

Propagation: Amaryllis 'Estella' propagates through seeding, bulb division, and cuttage. Bulb division is preferred for home planting due to the 2-3 year growth period. After division, allow bulbs to dry for 2 days, then plant 2/3 deep in a peat-sandy mix and water once.
