Care Guide
Haemanthus can be tricky to look after properly. This plant should be kept in shade or semi-shade at most, with 60% shade cloth being ideal. It requires a soil mix that drains well, but has plenty of nutrition, so make sure to fertilize it. Water well throughout the year, but make sure the soil dries out between watering.

Propagation
The bulbs produce offsets which can be removed once they are approximately half the size of the original bulb.
