Hippeastrum Evergreen

Royal Exotic Flowering Hippeastrum 'Evergreen' (Hippeastrum 'Evergreen')

Prepare to bring absolute botanical avant-garde, refined elegance, and the most extraordinary flowering show in the world of houseplants into your home - the stunning Hippeastrum 'Evergreen' (commonly known as amaryllis)! This exclusive masterpiece of nature belongs to the special Cybister (spider-flowered) hippeastrum group and is a true find for lovers of unconventional beauty. The plant's greatest pride, attraction, and unique signature are its breathtaking flowers: large, star-shaped flowers with narrow, elegantly curved petals that shimmer in an absolutely unique, light lime-green (chartreuse) shade bloom on a strong, upright flower stalk. This color and shape create an incredibly airy, exotic, and almost otherworldly architecture in the room. The plant is currently available as a strong, large, fully prepared bulb for forcing into bloom (without a pot or soil). This is the most prestigious, tasteful, and interactive gift for blessing a home, design enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to experience this fascinating natural magic with their own eyes - from planting a "bare" bulb to a grand flowering triumph!

CARE AND PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:

• ☀️ Light: While the bulb is being planted and has not yet produced a shoot, the amount of light is not very important. However, as soon as the flower stalk appears and begins rapidly stretching upward, place it in the brightest possible location (in bright, indirect light). If there is not enough light, the flower stalk will become elongated and fragile and may break under the weight of the flowers.

• 💧 Watering: The golden rule of planting and watering! Plant the bulb so that at least 1/3 (or even half) of the bulb itself remains above the soil surface. At first, while the bulb has not developed roots or a green shoot, hardly water it at all, or keep the soil only minimally moist. As soon as the flower stalk has grown (about 5-10 cm), begin watering regularly, but never allow the bulb to sit in standing water!

• 🌡️ Temperature/Humidity: To awaken the bulb and encourage its growth, it initially needs room warmth (+20°C to +24°C). However, when the huge green flowers have fully opened, move the plant to a slightly cooler location - in cooler conditions, the flowers will stay fresh and delight you for considerably longer! Additional air humidification is not necessary.

• 🐾 Keep away from pets and children: Hippeastrum bulbs, as well as their leaves and flowers, are highly toxic (they contain lycorine and other alkaloids). Ingestion causes severe vomiting and digestive tract problems in dogs and cats. Keep the bulb, and later the flowering plant, out of their reach!

🏠 IDEAL LOCATIONS:

• Formal dining tables, dressers, kitchen islands, and sunny windowsills, where this lime-green, exotic flowering show will serve as an absolute central design element and attract everyone's attention.

• Modern, minimalist, or avant-garde interiors, where this variety's unusual, slender architecture and unconventional color will stand out most vividly.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Condition: Strong, healthy bulb prepared for flowering (supplied without soil or a pot, ready for your chosen planting project)

• Expected height: When the flower stalk reaches full maturity, the plant will be approximately 40-50 cm tall.

⚠️ Note and a dose of reality about hippeastrums: Bulbs are living energy reservoirs! An important dose of reality: it usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks from planting the bulb until the first flowers open. Be patient! The biggest mistake people make is overwatering the "bare" bulb immediately after planting, which causes it to rot before it has even had a chance to awaken. For planting, you MUST use a light, very well-draining houseplant substrate and a pot with drainage holes in the bottom. Once flowering is over, do not cut off the long green leaves - they will continue feeding the bulb so that it can bloom again next year!
