Environment

Make sure that the soil maintains a level of dryness throughout its life. When planting use a fast-draining soil for your Amaryllis Lilly and keep in mind not to let excess water hang around for long, especially around the roots. Otherwise, the true beauty of this plant will not be realized. The bulbs may rot and the flowers may appear to be unhealthy, or it might not even show up at all.
