Position the bulb with its roots facing down and leave the neck and upper third of the bulb above the soil surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor containers, select a pot approximately 15–20cm wide with adequate drainage holes. The pot should comfortably accommodate the bulb without leaving excessive wet potting mix around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater sparingly until active growth appears. Once leaves or a flower stem emerge, water when the upper potting mix begins to dry. Do not allow the bulb or pot to remain waterlogged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOngoing Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace potted bulbs in bright light and rotate the container periodically to encourage straighter flower stems. Stake the flowering stem if it requires additional support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the blooms open, moving the pot away from intense sunlight may help extend the flowering display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove individual spent flowers as they fade. Once the entire flowering stem has finished, cut it just above the bulb while leaving the foliage intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinue watering and fertilising while the leaves are actively growing. The foliage replenishes the bulb and supports flowering in future seasons. Reduce watering as the leaves naturally decline and the bulb enters dormancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHippeastrum bulbs and plant parts are harmful if eaten and may irritate skin or eyes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Wear gloves when handling and keep away from children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour is Terra Cotta Star?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts flowers combine peachy terracotta, orange-brown and brick-red tones with darker veining and creamy highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the correct name Terra Cotta Star or Terracotta Star?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe registered cultivar is commonly written as ‘Terra Cotta Star’, although some retailers use ‘Terracotta Star’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow tall does it grow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlowering plants generally reach approximately 50–55cm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will it take to flower?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnder warm conditions, dormant bulbs may flower approximately six to ten weeks after planting.
