Therefore, in addition to normal maintenance in autumn, we should also supplement some nutrients to Hippeastrum.Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are used as the main fertilizer. Fertilizers do not need to be fertilized. Maintain sufficient sunlight and proper moisture. In short, it is sufficient to eat and drink.
When the weather gets cold, Hippeastrum will wither naturally. We must reduce watering at this time to assist in the winter.
