How to Grow and Care for Knight Star Amaryllis Flower Seeds
- Planting: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors in late spring once all danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep, and lightly cover them with soil. If starting indoors, transplant seedlings when the risk of frost has passed.
- Soil Requirements: Knight Star Amaryllis prefers well-drained, loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter for optimal growth and flowering.
- Spacing: Space plants about 6–8 inches apart to allow them room to grow without overcrowding, ensuring good air circulation.
- Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. These amaryllis require consistent moisture, especially during the growing season, but be careful not to overwater as they do not tolerate waterlogged soil.
- Temperature: Knight Star Amaryllis grows best in temperatures between 65–75°F (18–24°C). It prefers full to partial sun for the best flower production but can tolerate light shade, particularly in hotter climates.
- Maintenance: After blooming, allow the foliage to die back naturally and cut it off once it has fully withered. If growing indoors, consider growing the bulbs in pots, as they can be brought inside for easy care during the colder months.
