Care and growing conditionsHaemanthus are best grown in a pot, but are worth a try in the rock garden, a free draining potting mix is best and try not to over water. During dormancy do not water haemanthus at all. Haemanthus albiflos, is probably the easiest to grow followed by Haemanthus coccineus. |
