Moreover, there are many varieties, including many popular online varieties that look beautiful. Its leaves resemble orchids and are also very beautiful to look at when not in bloom.

The flowers form a continuous sea of blooms, creating a romantic atmosphere like a sea of flowers. Now it is only March, which is a good time to plant Zephyranthes.
Zephyranthes is also an affordable flower. If you are a beginner or want to create a small flower sea on the balcony, you can buy some Zephyranthes. They are cheap and easy to propagate.

When to plant Zephyranthes
The soil for Zephyranthes must be loose and well-ventilated. You can add some organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer to the bottom of the pot as a base fertilizer. When the roots grow, they will gradually absorb from the bottom. The soil can be mixed with garden soil and some coarse river sand, and a little fertilizer must be added for later vigorous growth. Adding base fertilizer provides a stronger effect than later top-dressing. After planting, cover with about one centimeter of soil, leaving a few buds exposed, water thoroughly, and place in a well-ventilated and sunny area. By May, it can enter the blooming period.
Zephyranthes is an interesting plant, like the Diamond King葫芦娃 (King Kong gourd child), not afraid of wind or rain. The more sun and rain it gets, the more flowers it will burst open. It is a very strong and tenacious small flowering plant. For pot plants on the balcony, you just need to pay attention to a few things: get plenty of sun and control watering, only watering when the potting soil is dry.
It is not afraid of cold or heat. Planting in the ground at zero degrees in winter is fine, and there's no need to dig up the bulbs. However, in extremely cold weather, it's best to dig them up and store them indoors. Planting them again the next year, their reproductive ability is super strong. Planting some Zephyranthes this year will result in many small bulbs popping up next year, also known as the "super explosive" small bulbs. If you plant a lot, the bulbs will continue to multiply, and you will have flowers for a lifetime.
