Planting & Care

Plant Pink Symphony Hippeastrum bulbs from July to October in a position with full sun to partial shade. In warmer climates, morning sun with afternoon shade can help protect the flowers and foliage from harsh heat.

Choose a light, free-draining soil. Before planting, loosen the soil to around 20cm deep and improve drainage if needed. Hippeastrums dislike sitting in wet, heavy soil, especially while dormant.

Plant with the fat end and roots facing down, leaving the neck of the bulb slightly exposed above the soil surface. Do not bury the bulb completely.

If growing in pots, use a quality, free-draining potting mix and choose a pot with good drainage holes. Avoid oversized pots that hold too much moisture around the bulb.

Water lightly after planting, then water more regularly once active growth begins. Allow the soil or potting mix to dry slightly between waterings and avoid overwatering, especially while the bulb is dormant or just beginning to shoot.

Feed during active growth with a balanced bulb fertiliser or pelletised chicken manure to support strong stems, healthy foliage and future flowering.

Protect from frost, especially in colder regions or when grown in pots. In frost-prone areas, Pink Symphony is best grown in pots so it can be moved under cover if needed.

After flowering, allow the foliage to remain until it naturally yellows. This helps the bulb store energy for the next flowering cycle. In suitable climates, Hippeastrum bulbs can remain undisturbed for several years.

Flowering Time

Flowering time can vary depending on climate and planting conditions.

General flowering: Approximately 6–10 weeks after planting
