With Christmas, we cannot miss the wonderful flower, the Amaryllis (official name Hippeastrum ). There are usually four to six imposing flowers on the stem and it comes in many colours: red, white, pink , striped. The amaryllis does not have any foliage, which makes it possible to combine in so many ways. Combine colours, add different flowers, or keep it simple: one beautiful flower for a solitary arrangement. To get the most from your Amaryllis, we recommend the use of Chrysal Clear Bulbosa flower food . The colour, the opening of the flower and the flower life is then truly at its best.
Nice to know:
Did you know that one aspect of the amaryllis is the cracking and curling of the stem ends? You can either prevent this, or use it for a creative effect. Important is cold water and the addition of the right flower food to enjoy this simple arrangement as long as possible.
To avoid the curling of the stem, wrap a small piece of tape around the bottom of the stem. To purposely curl the stem, follow the instruction in this (Dutch) video for a simple and creative effect.
