Help for slippery Amaryllis - turn around, fill stem with water
Now is Amaryllis time again. The large flowers look very decorative, even individually in a vase. I had already described at FM how to save them from tipping.
Here's a tip on how to stay fresh and firm longer.
If the amaryllis blooms and looks a bit tired, you can help her with a simple trick back to "the legs", if I may say so in a plant.
Turn it over, fill the hollow stem to the brim with warm water and hang it upside down for a couple of hours. So the flower is down. It is best to attach a fixed thread to the handle with adhesive tape and hang it up. At the window cross or a door handle - if you are sure that no one is coming in.
After some time she has recovered and can again with the stem into the water.
