Care Instructions
Zephyranthes carinata thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It requires a period of dormancy during the dry season. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Maintain moderate humidity levels for optimal growth.Soil
The pink rain lily prefers well-draining loam soil. Ensure the soil mix allows for good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can cause bulb rot. A mix of garden soil, sand, and organic matter works well.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks. Avoid fertilizing during the dormancy period.Repotting
Repot Zephyranthes carinata every 2-3 years or when the bulbs outgrow their container. Repot during the dormant season. Carefully remove the bulbs, shake off excess soil, and replant them in fresh, well-draining soil.Propagation
Propagate the pink rain lily by dividing the bulbs during the dormant season. Separate the offsets from the parent bulb and plant them in individual pots or directly in the garden.Pruning
Pruning is not typically required for Zephyranthes carinata. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health.Toxicity
Zephyranthes carinata is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the plant contain toxic alkaloids that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and other symptoms. Keep the plant out of reach of children and pets.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
