Water: Spotlight Amaryllis requires consistently moist soil, needing frequent watering in spring and summer—every 1-2 days and daily during flowering. In winter, reduce watering to 1-2 times weekly. Use aged tap water and water around the base, avoiding the bulb and foliage to prevent disease.

Fertilize: Spotlight Amaryllis should be fertilized one month post-planting, using phosphate and potash monthly before blooming. Loosen soil before application; cease fertilization during bloom. Post-bloom, switch to high nitrogen and potassium until dormancy. Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent plant burn and underdevelopment.

Pruning: The bulbous plant spotlight Amaryllis features vibrant blooms and thrives with spring pruning. Remove spent flowers, yellowing leaves, and cut flower stalks after blooming to enhance growth and flowering. Ensure well-drained soil and sufficient sunlight for optimal health and robust blooms.

Propagation: Spotlight Amaryllis propagates via seeding, bulb division, and cuttage, with bulb division being favored for home planting. Old bulbs yield 2-3 offspring annually, which should dry for 2 days post-division. Plant 2/3 of each bulb in a peat-sandy mix and water once, resuming after new leaves appear.
