Plant Care Instructions:
- Light: Scadoxus Multiflorus prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight but thrives best in filtered light conditions. For indoor cultivation, place it near a bright window with indirect light.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. During the dormant period in winter, reduce watering as the plant’s growth slows down.
- Humidity: This plant enjoys high humidity. Regular misting or placing a humidity tray near the plant can help maintain the necessary moisture levels.

- Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months.
Common Problems and Solutions:
- Yellowing Leaves: Yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure the pot has proper drainage and adjust the watering frequency. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again.
- Pest Infestations: Watch for pests such as spider mites and aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil, and maintain good air circulation around the plant.
- Failure to Bloom: If the plant fails to bloom, it may be due to inadequate light or improper watering. Ensure it receives bright, indirect light and maintain consistent soil moisture.
