Re-pot your Christmas amaryllis

1 Re-pot your amaryllis bulb into fresh potting compost. Make sure the pot is large enough to contain the roots without damaging them.

2 Check the bulb is healthy, with no signs of rot or disease. Insert the bulb onto the compost.

3 Top up with more compost and make sure the top of the bulb is poking out above the surface. Water it well.

4 keep the compost moist and position in a sunny spot. Buds shoot within seven weeks of re-potting, in time for christmas!
