Hippeastrum MIŠUTKA

Technical Profile of the Hippeastrum 'Mishutka'

Developed by experts at the Federal Research Center for Subtropical Science, the 'Mishutka' variety is a specialized selection designed for indoor cultivation. The stability of its biological cycle is driven by genetically optimized dormancy periods and efficient nutrient mobilization within the bulb.

Vegetation Parameters and Morphology

A key engineering advantage of this hybrid is the predictability of its lifecycle. Under proper cultivation conditions, the period from planting to the onset of flowering is strictly defined, spanning 60 to 80 days. This allows for precise scheduling of decorative blooming.

• Bulb Foundation: The parent bulb diameter of 6–10 cm is the optimal size for nutrient storage, enabling the development of 2–4 full-sized flowers per stalk.
• Plant Architecture: The plant reaches a height of 40–60 cm. This compact profile ensures structural integrity, allowing the stalk to remain upright under the weight of the blossoms without the need for supplementary support.
• Floral Geometry: Flower diameter ranges from 15 to 18 cm, which creates harmonious proportions relative to the plant's overall height.

The variety shows significant adaptability to limited root volume, which is essential for container gardening. Proper development of the root neck and controlled forcing allow the bulb to express its full genetic potential within the first season.
