Foot Ball Lily Plant With Flower

Football Lily (Scadoxus multiflorus)

Short Description:
The Football Lily is a striking ornamental plant known for its round, ball-shaped flower made up of dozens of tiny red florets. It blooms in late spring or summer and is often grown as a houseplant or in warm gardens. The plant has broad, glossy green leaves and grows from a bulb.

Care Guide:

• Light: Bright indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

• Water: Water moderately. Keep the soil slightly moist during active growth, but never waterlogged. Reduce watering when the plant is dormant.

• Soil: Well-draining potting mix (a bulb or general indoor plant mix works well).

• Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures, ideally 18–30°C (65–85°F). Protect from cold and frost.

• Humidity: Enjoys average to slightly higher humidity.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.

• Dormancy: After flowering, the plant may rest. During this time, reduce watering until new growth appears.
