FAQs

How long does 'Inticancha Bryce' typically flower for?

This variety flowers continuously from summer through to early autumn, providing color for several months.

Can I grow Alstroemeria 'Inticancha Bryce' indoors?

While primarily an outdoor plant, it can be grown in pots on a sunny windowsill, but ensure good light and ventilation.

When is the best time to plant these jumbo plugs?

The best time to plant is in spring after the risk of frost has passed, or in early autumn.

How do I deadhead the flowers?

Grasp the stem near the base and pull upwards; the entire stem should come away cleanly, encouraging new flower production.

Is this plant suitable for very small containers?

Yes, its compact nature makes it ideal for pots and containers, even smaller ones, provided they have adequate drainage.

Will it survive the winter outside?

It is a hardy perennial, so it should survive winter outdoors in most climates. Mulching the base can offer extra protection in colder areas.

How often should I feed my Alstroemeria?

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the active growing season, from spring until late summer.

Troubleshooting

Plants not flowering

Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight (at least 6 hours per day) and is being regularly deadheaded to encourage new blooms.

Yellowing leaves

This can indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Check soil moisture and amend with grit if necessary. It can also be a sign of nutrient deficiency; consider feeding.

Plants wilting

Check for water. If the soil is dry, water thoroughly. If the soil is wet, the roots may be waterlogged; improve drainage.

Pest infestations (e.g., aphids, slugs)

Inspect plants regularly. Treat aphids with insecticidal soap or a strong jet of water. Use slug pellets or barriers to deter slugs and snails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Soaking Plugs: Upon arrival, gently soak the Alstroemeria 'Inticancha Bryce' jumbo plug roots in water for about 15-30 minutes. This helps rehydrate them.
Potting: Choose pots with drainage holes. Use a good quality, peat-free compost mixed with a little grit or perlite for improved drainage. Plant the plugs so the top of the root ball is just below the soil surface.
Planting in Ground: If planting directly into the garden, choose a location with full sun and ensure the soil is well-drained. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the plug and loosen the surrounding soil.

Compatibility:

Sunlight: Prefers full sun (at least 6 hours per day).
Soil: Thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Avoid heavy clay soils unless amended.
Companion Plants: Works well with other sun-loving perennials, ornamental grasses, and compact shrubs in pots or borders.

Care:

Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings.
Feeding: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring to late summer).
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers by pulling the entire stem from the base. This encourages more blooms and prevents the plant from setting seed.
Overwintering: 'Inticancha Bryce' is a hardy perennial. In colder regions, apply a mulch of compost or leaves around the base in late autumn to protect the roots. Container plants may benefit from being moved to a sheltered spot or overwintered in a cold greenhouse.
