Amaryllis 'Samba'
Amaryllis ‘Samba’ opens into large, bold red and white flowers with striking, brush-stroke markings that give each bloom a lively, festive appearance. The broad petals and vivid colouring make this variety a standout choice for brightening winter interiors with dramatic flair.
Originating from Holland, this bulb blooms more quickly than many traditional varieties, making it an excellent choice for forcing indoors. Amaryllis ‘Samba’ adds cheerful colour and reliable flowering to windowsills, tables, and seasonal displays.

Hippeastrum Care
Light: Provide bright, filtered light. Turn the pot regularly to encourage upright growth.
Water: Water sparingly until new growth appears, then keep the compost lightly moist. Allow excess water to drain and empty the saucer.
Humidity: Normal household humidity is suitable; misting is unnecessary.
Temperature: Around 21°C encourages initial growth. Once flowering, a cooler position at 15–18°C helps the blooms last longer.
Planting: Use a pot with drainage holes, slightly wider than the bulb, and peat-free compost. Leave approximately two-thirds of the bulb above the compost surface. Support heavy flower stems if needed.
Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser weekly while the leaves are actively growing, following the product instructions.
After flowering: Remove spent flower stems but retain healthy leaves. Continue watering and feeding through spring and summer.
Dormancy: In autumn, stop feeding and gradually reduce watering. Give the bulb a cool rest for around eight weeks, then return it to warmth and bright light and resume watering to encourage fresh growth.
Experience level: Moderate
