Their scientific name is Zephiranthes roseus and citrina. These lilies are in small pots where they need a well-drained substrate. The coconut fiber, rice husks, and dry sticks have already been consumed over time. So today I am preparing the substrate for them again. ![20260302_080300.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/23yTacBju4EBuzKAdb2nq2Q92HPLk8a6qfSok9Au5mivn8Jkj5yDgvLTHJDKtGugNgZR2.jpg) The plants I am showing today have leaves in two almost imperceptible forms. They are long leaves, but one species has flattened leaves, and the other species has cylindrical leaves. ![20260302_080230.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/EppKd7FsgcN3XrVZdN9FNX38QVozBQ8WRCJfMZkoUPe8Z9AY6AxE78cp8w35m9NLnGu.jpg) ![20260302_080246.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/23uFRzJGGXv76rEeW5eqyrzcWheVCTA32wsSJqht2aYSftCJ1eiW6BuPiH9DUXRkgHLSK.jpg) This is because they are two different species of the same family. Zephiranthes rosea has pink flowers and flattened leaves, while Zephiranthes citrina is white and has elongated cylindrical leaves. These plants are easy to care for; they like both sun exposure and partial shade. Their substrate must be well-drained and moist. When the rains come, they begin to bloom. Sometimes I manage to trick them into blooming by watering them often with homemade products and keeping their environment moist. ![IMG_20220711_131243.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/23tvgfFeSdc8FJNpGjj3VPuNLjbbXzuCxUfS4NUwJZHZRMFRoGy1Hqt6kvie4HMExhiai.jpg) The climate in my country is tropical, but where I live, closer to the coast, it is surrounded by mountains. The rains struggle to pass over the mountains to reach my plants and remain for long periods without passing through my garden. I have had good results with creating a humid environment, and they have bloomed on several occasions. Their flowers are small, but the color is very vibrant, like frost, and both the white and pink ones are beautiful rain lilies. I have removed their bulbs, some very small and others very large. Finally, I have transplanted them with new substrate into both small pots for sale and large pots to continue replicating them. ![20260302_084003.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/23tmFP6yBJ41GBjKcMaXcuweHDJYyy3DBGTTaSP7NozHk7XTHQs4bNPGq3PHCTpAbDKa3.jpg) Now they are back in the environment they like, surrounded by other plants taller than them, which provide a refreshing environment and partial shade. ![20260302_094752.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/23xKzVfxe6vsj6ZF1dnRRvEHe3hK7AFLvcPccwzxXCtS9jgPCd18s7E8W4LAFk78LJvtk.jpg) ![20260302_094718.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/23y8r2XRLoigsqsaE6dYQCBZbyUuWXAbA6FgTPgTCB9weCB3cGCCUY5n8rZ6WubYJ1tr1.jpg) That's all for now.
