Amaryllis belladonna, commonly known as the Belladonna Lily or Naked Lady, is a bulbous plant native to South Africa. It is known for its striking pink flowers that bloom on leafless stems, hence the name 'Naked Lady.' The plant goes through a dormancy period during the summer months.
Amaryllis belladonna requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers a relatively dry environment. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Maintain moderate humidity levels.
Bodem
The plant prefers well-draining loam soil. Ensure the soil mix allows for good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to bulb rot. A mix of garden soil with sand or perlite can be beneficial.
Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant during its active growth period, typically in the spring and early summer, to support blooming.
Verpotten
Repot Amaryllis belladonna every 2-3 years or when the bulbs outgrow their container. Repot during the dormancy period, usually in late summer. Ensure the new pot has good drainage and plant the bulbs with the neck exposed above the soil surface.
Voortplanting
Propagate Amaryllis belladonna by dividing the bulbs during the dormancy period. Carefully separate the offsets from the parent bulb and plant them in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until new growth appears.
Snoeien
Pruning is not typically required for Amaryllis belladonna. Remove spent flowers and dead leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health.
Toxiciteit
Amaryllis belladonna is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The bulbs contain toxic alkaloids that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and other symptoms. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children and pets.
