the plant will die.
In the forcing season in garden centers often sell bulb mixes
in bulk. Healthy smooth bulbs have a symmetrical shape,
live roots, golden brown scales. The neck and the bottom should
be dense, without any putrefactive spots, soft or dark dark

long roots, the planting capacity should be high and narrow:
from the edge of the pot to the bulb a distance of no more than 3 cm. In addition,
in a cramped pot, hippeastrum will bloom faster. Planting substrate
should consist of the following components: turf and leaf earth,
humus and sand (2: 1: 1: 1). In the pot must be done
drainage. Onion deepened by 1/3. After that, the soil is compacted and
watered.
