How To Grow

Good pest and disease resistance

Can have issues with root rot and slugs. Root rot is a fungal disease largely caused by waterlogged soil conditions, so be sure to plant in a well drained soil, adding gravel or perlite of necessary, and do not overwater. To deter slimy pests, keep the area around the plant debris free and as dry as possible, especially at night as slugs and snails love damp conditions. You can use barriers such as crushed egg shells, grit or copper wire to surround the plant - these will prevent slugs and snails from reaching the leaves.

Water lightly

Alstroemeria need nothing more than rain water throughout most of the year. During hot, prolonged dry periods in summer however, you may have to give the plant a good watering several times a week. If the plant starts to look distressed and the soil around it is very dry, then give the plant some more water and check up on it the next day. Be careful not to overwater.

Full sun to partial shade

Plant somewhere where the plant will receive around 6 hours of direct sunlight every day and a little afternoon shade.

Any fertile, well-drained soil

Alstroemeria prefers fertile, well-drained soil but will be fine in any normal well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly poor or clay heavy, add some garden compost with perlite to improve drainage.

Feed in spring

Use a slow release high potassium fertiliser such as tomato feed. In autumn your plants would benefit from a mulch with compost or well rotted manure. ?v=1613300718
