1. Bulb cultivation: After the alyssum flowers bloom, and before the leaves wither, bulb cultivation is required. Ensure that there are sufficient nutrients in the bulbs to help them survive the dormant period. At this time, watering should not be too much, and the amount of water should be controlled, usually once every two days. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be used for fertilization to provide nutrients for it.

2. Save: Wait until the leaves of Alyssum are completely After it wilts, it can be taken out and stored. Sterilize and clean the bulb first, then bury it in wet sand or place it in the refrigerator's fresh-keeping layer. You can also put it in the pot soil for a month first, and do not water it during this period to prevent the bulbs from being flooded. After one month, dig it out and store it in an open container. Be careful not to get exposed to rain or sunlight.

3. Replanting: Keep the bulbs until autumn, and usually replant them in September-October. If it has been placed in a pot, you need to lift it out first, remove the small balls on top, and then plant them separately. Use loose, fertile, sandy soil with good drainage as the substrate, and plant the bulbs inside, with the top about 1-2 cm from the soil surface. Then water it thoroughly, keep the substrate moist, and wait for it to germinate before maintaining it normally.
