Description

This is a Mini Amaryllis that produces flashy pink flowers in the fall on mature bulbs. The attractive leaves are a nice dark green color and have a white stripe in the middle. Very easy to take care of and a very nice small potted plant. This plant is rarely offered. It is also known as Amaryllis striatifolium.
This bulb goes semi-dormant in the spring. They wake up at the end of summer and bloom in the fall. Don’t do much at the dormancy stage. We don’t water them much, they get water when it rains or we water them if the soil becomes very dry. You can water more often once they wake up again.
