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

This Amaryllis ‘Ruby Star’ (Premium Indoor Growing Kit Gift Pack) kit comes with everything you need to get started including the bulb,  a suitable pot and a dehydrated peat-free compost pellet.

‘Ruby Star’ is an attractive flowering Hippeastrum bulb, more commonly known as amaryllis.

This pretty plant is ideal for brightening up a space at home and because it comes boxed, will make for a wonderful living gift.

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.
