How to Care for the Plant

Water
Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not overwater
Fertilizer
Two different fertilizers benefit the Lycoris flower and foliage; one which is high in potassium in late autumn followed by a nitrogen rich fertilizer in early spring. This encourages growth in foliage, thereby encouraging bigger blooms of the Lycoris flower.
Sunlight
