Be patient! The biggest mistake people make is overwatering the \"bare\" bulb immediately after planting, which causes it to rot before it has had a chance to wake up. For planting, you MUST use a light, very well-draining houseplant substrate and a pot with holes in the bottom. Once flowering is over, do not cut off the long, green leaves - they will continue to nourish the bulb so it can store energy and flower again the following year!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.augi-plants.lv","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55556537352521,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0252\/1918\/files\/IMG-3746.webp?v=1791533595","url":"https:\/\/www.augi-plants.fi\/en\/products\/hippeastrum-picotee","provider":"www.augi-plants.lv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
