The Tika Fairy amaryllis (Hippeastrum) is a premium, double-flowered bulb featuring large, soft, pink-cream ruffled petals. Known for its delicate “fairy-tale” appearance, it grows 40–60 cm tall and blooms in 6–8 weeks, making it ideal for indoor winter decor. It requires bright, indirect light, moderate watering, and a resting period to rebloom.
Key Features and Care for Tika Fairy Amaryllis:

- Planting: Plant bulbs in well-drained soil with the top third of the bulb exposed.
