Miracle Amaryllis is a popular tropical bulb perennial often used as a gift or houseplant.  One or more hollow flower stems sporting large velvety crimson flowers with darker centers bloom in winter.  Its large strap like dark green foliage begin to grow as the flowers open.  Grows best with bright indirect sun and humusy well-drained soils.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Medium Maintenance. Watch for common houseplant pests including mites, scale, and mealybugs.  Culture for saving bulbs can be somewhat complicated and time consuming.

HOLIDAY CONTAINER CARE: Place containers in a moderately lit room.  Because the decorative containers do not have drainage holes, only a light watering once a week when the top soil is dry is necessary.  If mounted instead of planted in soil, mist the plant more often.  If you think you have overwatered, tilt the container into the sink to drain any excess water.  Containers will last 6-8 weeks with proper care. 

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Rock Gardens, Houseplant, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Kalanchoe, Christmas Cactus, Bromeliad
