This guide will look at growing amaryllis indoors in water and the right conditions to provide this plant during the growing journey. Amaryllis is a tropical plant with many different varieties that are available in stores and online. It can grow in many different styles and colors, from bright green to orange.
It has become a popular houseplant because of its ability to bloom all year round. The ideal temperature for growing amaryllis indoors is between 25-35°C. The best way to keep the temperature of the house is by using a heating mat or hydro cooling your plants.
The soil mixture is very important when growing amaryllis indoors, especially if you are going to use an artificial substrate. The main thing is that you should use a mixture that contains peat and perlite. Peat is good for keeping the water in the pot and preventing the pot from drying out.
Perlite will help with the drainage of water from the pot. This is very important as it helps prevent the pot from getting too dry. You can buy peat from garden centers and perlite from garden centers and hardware stores.
There are different types of peat and perlite available. Some are very fine and some are coarse. Fine peat or perlite will drain water faster than coarse peat or perlite.
Make sure that you look at the instructions on how to use the peat and perlite that you have bought. So let’s learn about growing amaryllis indoors in water and the environment we should provide them.

Gardening systems for amaryllis
Heating mat
A heating mat is a mat that heats up when you put it under the floor heating and heats the air in the house. It can be used as a mat on the floor or as a ceiling. It can also be used as a mat in a cupboard, on the floor, or on a table. Heating mats can be bought from any garden center, but they are very expensive. If you don’t want to use a heating mat, you can also use a hydroponic system. 
Hydroponic
This is a system where you keep your plant in water instead of soil. A hydroponic system is not as effective as a heating mat. Water is constantly being pumped through the system. If there is too much water, it can overflow into the room.
Overflow pipe
A good way to control the amount of water is by using an overflow pipe. This pipe will prevent the water from overflowing into the room.
Timer
You can also use a timer to turn it on the water and off the water.
