How to fertilize Wax Amaryllis
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Wax Amaryllis after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Good Morning, Greggers, I need some help! I have this beautiful #Amaryllis that I got for Christmas; she grew beautifully and I planted her in this plastic pot. Now her edges are beginning to turn yellow and brown. What have I done wrong with this precious little baby?

Good Afternoon Greg Family, and Happy Holidays to All. I added Mary to the family about two weeks ago; I’d been seeing these #Amaryllis around since October. I’d never noticed these beautiful babies before, but absolutely fell in love with them. I decided to purchase one and even purchased another one two days ago; I’m waiting for it to arrive. Someone recently told me that after they are fully bloomed in the bulb that I can plant them. Can someone please help me out with that? Are they indoor or outdoor plants? Like my Christmas #Poinsettia, I would love to keep Mary around for as long as I can. Thanks #Greggers ❤️💚✅💚❤️

Merry Christmas to ME Good Evening, Greggers, I just purchased this #Amaryllis this week. I was never familiar with them, but have seen so many of them lately; I decided to get one. I’ve been told that that they grow on their own; no need to water, just keep it under a grow light. #Greg is telling me I need a terracotta pot with a drainage hole. It’s also telling me to set up a watering and fertilizing schedule. Is there any way to disable the recommendations in the app? I don’t want it to look like I’m neglecting my new baby, but the app is apparently not updated with information on Amaryllis’

Why Are The Leaves Wrinkly On The Underside? Hi guys, I received this Hoya Rosita a little over two week ago. I repotted it in coconut husk after I got it. In hindsight, I should have left it alone to allow it to adjust. Anyway, I noticed that the newest leaves are wrinkly on the underside about a week ago. I’m wondering if I did anything to cause it to become wrinkly? What should I do to help it recover? Any tips ans tricks are also welcomed—I’m new to Hoyas and growing plants 🌱 #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HoyaHeads #HappyPlants #NewPlantMom #NewPlants #HoyaRosita #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy
