A gadget for the real Amaryllis lover; the butterfly Amaryllis. For many generations, you she has been offered by specialty bulb traders but she never grew out to a large commercial stock. She is just a little bit too difficult to grow for the Amaryllis bulb growers.
Also with you in the living room this species Amaryllis, originally from the sub-tropical rainforest in Brazil, will not perform as easy as the other Amaryllises. Some years she will do well and start blooming shortly after you planted her but papillio might just as well be very slow and let you wait many months before she shows her flowers.
But papillio is very suitable as an evergreen houseplant in conservatory or other kind of light and warm room in your house. Plant her in a large pot and leave her undisturbed, her foliage will stay green and every now and then, when she feels like it, she will show you a beautiful exotic flower.
Amaryllis
Unlike most of our flower bulbs, amaryllis bulbs are primarily for indoors. At room temperature in a vase or in a pot: that is when the amaryllis bulb comes into its own. And that is not the only thing that makes this beautiful flower bulb stand out. It is precisely in the winter that it provides some extra atmosphere with its exuberant colours. Because of the temperature in the living room, it seems like spring for the amaryllis and that is why it is not held back by the winter.
Planting Amaryllis:
You plant an amaryllis with the bottom half of the bulb in the soil. Use regular potting soil that is suitable for garden or houseplants. Also make sure you have a spacious pot so that there is enough space around the amaryllis bulb to water it. Do not fill the pot all the way to the edge with potting soil, so that the water cannot run out of the pot when watering.
You can also plant your amaryllis in a vase or glass pot, without soil. The amaryllis will then be forced to bloom on water. You will need a suitable glass vase for this, which will hold the amaryllis bulb firmly while the roots hang in the water. Make sure that the water just touches the bottom of the bulb, which will also stimulate new roots to emerge from the bulb.
