Position and soil
Loosen the soil before planting and add compost. Nerine grows best in composted and friable soil. This species isn’t well-adapted for summer rainfall regions. We suggest planting them in groups for a fuller effect.
Further Care
You can transplant every four to five years during their dormant period. Guard them against pests such as lily borer caterpillars, mealybugs, snails and slugs.
