Hippeastrum (Amaryllis): a bulbous flowering plant. For professional nursery and wholesale enquiries through ORCHISTRA, with supply specifications confirmed per order.
Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) (Hippeastrum sp.) belongs to Amaryllidaceae. Hippeastrum is a bulb-forming genus in Amaryllidaceae, grown for strap-shaped foliage and large trumpet-shaped flowers. The common name amaryllis is widely used in trade, but Hippeastrum and Amaryllis are different botanical genera.
No species or cultivar is specified beyond Hippeastrum sp.; flower colour, flower form and flowering-size bulb grade must therefore be confirmed for an order.
Contact ORCHISTRA to discuss nursery and wholesale supply. The supplied growth stage, plant size, packaging, quantity and delivery schedule are confirmed for each order; this catalogue entry is not a live stock commitment.

Growing information
Bright light, with stronger sun introduced gradually after establishment.
Warm, frost-free conditions during active growth; seasonal treatment depends on the species and grade.
Normal greenhouse humidity with good air movement after establishment.
Airy, well-drained potting substrate with some moisture retention. Adjust particle size to the root system and container; avoid persistent saturation.
Build a healthy root system and storage organ before applying a flowering programme. Do not impose mature-bulb drying or dormancy treatments on small, actively growing plantlets. Adjust watering to growth and genuine leaf senescence; confirm the cultivar and grade for flower scheduling.
