    Eucomis species are a relatively new pot plants with potential for expansion. The aim of the study was to compare the growth, flowering, bulbs yield and macronutrients content of three species: Eucomis autumnalis, E. bicolor and E. comosa. The experiment was conducted in 2013 and 2014 in a greenhouse. The bulbs were planted in 18 cm diameter pots containing a deacidified peat, supplemented with a fertilizer Hydrocomplex. Of all the species tested, E. autumnalis had the least leaves, flowered earliest and produced the highest number of adventitious bulbs. E. bicolor had the highest number of leaves, produced longer and wider inflorescences and the least number of adventitious bulbs as compared to the other two species. E. comosa was characterized by the largest diameter of adventitious bulbs and the highest potassium content in the leaves. The analysis of the macronutrient composition of three Eucomis species showed that the leaves contained more nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and calcium than the bulbs.
