HIPPEASTRUM SP.













HIPPEASTRUM SP.

Origen: Sudamérica

Cultivadas como plantas de interior por todo el mundo, con muchísimas variedades, desarrolladas sobre todo en Holanda, por lo que son conocidos popularmente como "híbridos holandeses".

Esta planta se conoce popularmente como "suegra y nuera" (por la costumbre de las flores de mirar cada para un lado) o amaryllis, siendo este nombre totalmente erróneo, porque la auténtica amaryllis es una planta bulbosa sudafricana que, aunque emparentada con los hippeastrum, tiene costumbres diferentes: hippeastrum florece a mediados de primavera y amaryllis al final del verano o principios del otoño.

Soportan sólo heladas ligeras.
