Urceolina amazonica, commonly known as the Amazon Lily, is a bulbous geophyte native to the wet tropical climates of the Amazon rainforest. It belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family and is known for its striking, fragrant flowers. The plant undergoes a dormancy period of about two months.
Urceolina amazonica thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers consistently warm and humid conditions. It should be kept in moderate temperatures and requires high humidity. Watering should be frequent to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
土壌
The Amazon Lily prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture. A mix of loam with organic matter is ideal. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but avoid waterlogging to prevent bulb rot.
