Among bulbous flowers, I think they are the easiest to grow, and can be described as "lazy" flowers. After planting, you almost don't need to take care of them. They can bloom smoothly, and they can even burst many small bulbs at the root. Among bulbous flowers, I find Red Spider Lily the most magical, as it grows leaves without flowers and blooms without leaves, and the flowers are especially beautiful.
Red Spider Lily is a bulbous flower of the Amaryllis family. It grows leaves and bulbs every spring, the leaves wither and enter dormancy in summer, making full preparation for flowering in autumn. After August to September, without leaves, it will bloom into very beautiful flowers. The elegant flower spikes look very special, and a single flower can last for about a week.
Red Spider Lily usually grows in a slightly shady environment in the wild, and there are many legends about it. Therefore, some people say that it is not good to keep this flower at home. However, this kind of statement is completely unfounded. As a flower enthusiast, as long as it's a flowering plant and we like it, we can grow it at home.
Now it is summer, which is also the dormancy period of Red Spider Lily. Many friends come to ask if it is still suitable to plant at this time. I tell you that there is no problem planting now. It is precisely because it is the dormancy period, so it is the best time to plant. If you plant it now, it will gradually grow roots and then bloom after August to September.

Planting Red Spider Lily is relatively easy. As mentioned above, bulbous flowers are very easy to plant. So after we receive the bulbs, we simply remove the withered roots, then prepare nutritious soil, or a mix of half nutritious soil and half garden soil to plant. The planting depth should be just enough to cover the whole bulb.
Because I think Red Spider Lily looks spectacular when planted in groups, I suggest preparing a large pot. For example, in a 3-gallon pot that I chose, I planted 10-15 bulbs. This way, when flowering, as long as the bulbs are large enough, they can bloom 10-15 flowers, which is very spectacular to imagine.
Although Red Spider Lily is now in the dormancy period, after we plant it in a pot, it will first grow roots. So at this time, we also need to water it, keeping the soil slightly moist, and then we can place it in the shade of trees or in a position with sufficient light, and wait for it to bloom slowly.
There is one thing to note after planting: because it is now the dormancy period of Red Spider Lily, you won't see leaves growing after planting. Don't worry that the bulb has died. As long as you keep the soil moist, it can grow lush roots. After absorbing enough nutrients, it will bloom after August to September.
