Water: Amaryllis 'Rilona' requires consistently moist soil, with watering every 1-2 days in spring and summer, and daily during flowering. In winter, reduce watering to 1-2 times weekly. Use dechlorinated water and avoid wetting the bulb, flowers, or leaves to prevent disease. Increase humidity through misting.

Fertilize: Amaryllis 'Rilona' requires monthly fertilization with phosphate and potash before flowering. Loosen soil before applying water-soluble fertilizers. After flowering, switch to high-nitrogen fertilizers. Avoid fertilizing during dormancy. Over-fertilization can cause burn, while under-fertilization may stunt growth and flower size.

Pruning: Amaryllis 'Rilona' showcases large blooms and requires pruning in early to late spring. Remove damaged foliage to support growth, cutting back stalks post-bloom to enhance bulb strength. Use sharp, sterilized tools for pruning to ensure vitality and prevent disease, promoting healthy and attractive blooms.

Propagation: Amaryllis 'Rilona' propagates through seeding, bulb division, and cutting. Bulb division is favored for home planting. Each old bulb yields 2-3 new bulbs yearly, requiring two days of drying before planting. Bury 2/3 of the bulb in peat and sandy soil, watering once until new leaves emerge.
