As long as you plant flower bulbs in soil, the sword of Damocles of rot will constantly hover over the floral head. The Ritterstern is no exception in this regard. How good that an amaryllis thrives even without soil. We'll be happy to tell you how it works.
How to make an amaryllis bloom without soil?
To get an amaryllis to bloom without soil, place the bulb in a bulbous vase with boiled water and a piece of charcoal. Make sure that the water does not reach the onion and replace it if necessary.
This is how a knight's star blooms on water
In order for onion plants to thrive without soil, it is important to ensure that the roots have access to water. For this purpose, choose a vase that is filled with water in the bulbous part while the upper part holds the bulb. An hourglass-shaped connection between the upper and lower parts offers enough space for the root strands to pass through. This is how you plant the knight's star correctly:
- Fill the glass with boiled water
- Add a piece of charcoal as a prophylactic against rot
- Put the onion in the bowl
Please make sure that the water does not reach the onion. If it becomes cloudy after a few days, please replace the water.
