Amaryllis ‘Ruby Star’ (Premium Indoor Growing Kit Gift Pack)

This Amaryllis ‘Ruby Star’ Premium Indoor Growing Kit produces incredible, exotic looking blooms, with a stunning star-burst shape. With dazzling red petals that have a vibrant white stripe down the centre, they are perfect for adding to festive displays around the home.

With everything you need to get started, this premium indoor growing kit comes with the bulb, pot and a dehydrated peat-free compost pellet, making it quick and convenient to grow your own exotic bloom, and ‘Ruby Star’ is a truely stunning variety of Hippeastrum to admire. As this set comes in a box, it also makes for a wonderful living gift that can be enjoyed year after year.

This amaryllis will flower during winter months providing much needed colour and will produce an upright plant (26-28cm) with large vivid pink star shaped petals.

Easy to grow, simply place the compost pellet in a suitable mixing container and add 350ml of lukewarm water. Leave it to expand for thirty minutes to one hour and then mix the compost well before use. Half fill the container provided, place the bulb in the pot and fill around it, leaving a third of the bulb showing.

This flower is happiest when planted in direct sunlight at room temperature. The ‘Ruby Star’ will then bloom around 8 weeks after planting in winter or early spring. You may need to support the stem as it grows and as the flowers bloom.

To extend the flowering period, we recommend moving this amaryllis to a cooler position once the flowers start to show.
