#amaryllis#hippeastrum 13 differences between HIPPEASTRUM and AMARYLLIS They are both from the Amaryllis family, but come from different genera. Amaryllis is a species of the genus Amaryllis (Amaryllis), Hippeastrum belongs to the genus Hippeastrum (Hippeastrum). I offer you 13 signs by which you can distinguish these plants both in bloom and during the dormant period: 1. Height of the peduncle: Amaryllis - 60 cm, Hippeastrum - 80 cm and up to 1 m. This sign is not always reliable, since dwarf varieties of Hippeastrum have now been bred. 2. Amaryllis blooms indoors once a year. Sometimes, when grown in open ground, it can bloom 2 times. Hippeastrum consistently blooms twice a year. And with proper care and soil selection, it can bloom up to 4 times. 3. Amaryllis blooms in the fall (September-October). Hippeastrum blooms in late winter-spring. 4. Amaryllis blooms in a leafless state. Hippeastrum produces leaves either simultaneously with the peduncle, or during flowering, or immediately after it. 5. Amaryllis produces 8-12 flowers. Hippeastrum has 2-6 flowers. 6. Amaryllis flowers are uniform in shape and petal size. Hippeastrum flowers can vary greatly within the same species. They are also larger than amaryllis. 7. Amaryllis has a dense, fleshy stem. Hippeastrum has an empty stem inside. 8. Amaryllis is fragrant, Hippeastrum has no smell. 9. Hippeastrum has a much more diverse color palette than Amaryllis. In addition to the standard pink/red/white, there are yellow and even black varieties. 10. Amaryllis has smooth, pear-shaped bulbs. The scales are pubescent on the inside. Hippeastrum bulbs are spherical, flattened, scaly. The scales are smooth on the inside. 11. If you tear off a plate from an Amaryllis bulb, you will see a web underneath. Hippeastrum does not have anything like this. 12. Amaryllis is more likely to form daughter bulbs. Hippeastrum less often and in smaller quantities. 13. Amaryllis seeds germinate in 2 months.
