Amazonian lily - a gentle and beautiful flower
More recently, the Amazon lily wasa favorite of many florists, and today she is undeservedly forgotten. But this flower is quite unpretentious in the care and very beautiful. The Amazonian lily, called botanist eucharis, refers to the Amaryllis family. Its homeland is South America. On the banks of the river. There are several species of this plant in the Amazon, but we have the most widespread euharis large-flowered.
The first time an Amazonian lily blooms inOctober-November. The adult bulb of eucharis is 6 cm in diameter. The first flowering begins only after the appearance of the bulb-children. That's why it is not recommended to plant the bulbs one by one. Re-flowering with proper care occurs in the spring. Before the autumn and spring flowering, the substrate in which the Amazon lily grows should be dried. Thus, the plant is stimulated to abundant and prolonged flowering. The amazon lily blossoms with large, white, elegant and very fragrant flowers resembling daffodil flowers. They are slightly drooping, collected in small inflorescences. Flowers are located on a high leafless pedicel, which reaches 60 cm. After blossoming, the peduncles are completely removed (it is desirable to simply cut them off rather than cut them off). This plant looks great as it is located separately, and in various compositions.
The optimal temperature for growing thisplants: in the winter - 18 ° C, in the summer - 22 ° C. In summer it is recommended to place it in the open air. Euharis as a truly tropical plant prefers very moist air, which is why it is very responsive to spraying with water. Leaves need regular rubbing with a damp cloth (to remove dirt and dust).
As the substrate, a mixture consisting offrom leaf and turf soil, peat, humus, sand (2: 2: 1: 1: 1). Watering eucharis should be regular, but moderately, because with an overabundance of moisture, the bulbs can rot. After flowering, the plants begin a period of rest. For 2 months they are watered very rarely, not allowing a strong drying of the substrate. Lilies are transplanted in the spring. All young euharisy need to be transplanted annually, and adults - every 3 years. Bulbs are planted at a depth of 5 cm. At this time, they are watered rarely until the appearance of the tips of new leaves. Propagation of Amazonian lily with daughter bulbs.
The plant is very responsive to regular top dressing. The first top dressing is performed with the appearance of the first leaves, and later they are carried out 3 times a month, using complex fertilizers. After flowering, the application of fertilizers is stopped until the onset of spring.
