Amazonian lily - euharis. Home care

Eucharis (or Eucharis - Eucharis) is translated from Greek as "most pleasant", "graceful". The name more than corresponds to the appearance of the flower, which many call an Amazonian lily.

A lovely bulbous plant with a snow-white umbrella of large and fragrant flowers, very similar to daffodils, is eucharis. Care at home is not too complicated. The first time blooms in October and until the middle of winter. The second time - in the spring. In March and August, when the eucharis rests, it is usually transplanted, separating the children from the bulb. The newly planted onion, until it sprouts, should be stored in a warm place and moderately watered.

Types of eucharis

Eucharis large-flowered - Eucharis grandiflora - from three to six simply huge flowers on a peduncle more than half a meter in height, blossoming twice a year is magnificent. Pride of the Amaryllis family. Cultivated ten species of this plant, large-scale - the most common. Very good is Eucharis candida (eucharis white), as well as Eucharis mastersii (eucharis "master"), Eucharis subdentata (eucharis toothless), Eucharis sanderi (eucharis "sander") - multiflorous. This is what eucharis is. Photo - the eye does not tear, but even the most successful one hundred percent can not transfer its charm.

Origin

These beautiful flowers were born in the tropics of South America. The high humidity of the air in the forests of Colombia and especially the equatorial Amazon region - these euHaris await our climate from such apartments. Care at home will ensure flowering. There were cases when in the hot and humid summer this Amazonian lily bloomed for the third time in a year.

Features

Year-round decorativeness is the main advantage that euharis fully possesses. Care at home helps him not to cast off for the winter beautiful shiny leaves, huge, slightly wrinkled, with beautifully protruding veins. A leaf or two he can lose during the winter sleep, but this, firstly, is invisible among the dark green abundance, and secondly, it is quite natural. It's bad for him if you over-water it, then leaf fall is total. When the eucharis wakes up, new ones are quickly added to the leaves: first they stick out in each direction with a hedgehog, curled into tubules, and gradually unfold, this is a very beautiful and touching sight.

Euharis - home care

Some growers complain: the eucharis do not blossom! But that it is abundant and in time bloomed, so as not to rot on the roots and onion, the plant should be properly watered. And you can also advise novice flower growers to always check the presence of drainage at the bottom of the pot. Without it, not only euharis, but also chlorophytum will not survive.

Throughout the period and growth, and flowering water Amazon lily should be moderately, like other bulbous plants. Do not overmoisten. Between watering it is necessary to allow the land to dry considerably, wet to water it is not necessary in any case. The leaves of the eucharis are so huge, they quickly dust, and that's why they like washing under the shower. Then you can water the whole plant. The main thing is that the flowers do not fall on the flowers - they will turn yellow. And the eucharis does not blossom because the pot is too large. Almost the entire surface of the earth coma should be filled with children. It is also transplanted, therefore, not as often as other indoor plants. Once every three years. Here are two main mistakes that the eucharis shows us with its non-flowering. Home care requires strictly two things: proper watering and the correct planting of the bulb! It is not hard. And in favorable conditions euHaris blooms long, often and fragrantly!
