It is more suitable for planting in rock gardens and is also suitable for growing in pots. So how to raise it? Let’s learn together.

1. Reproduction method

1. Propagation method

Generally, propagation is carried out by dividing balls or sowing seeds. Balling is more suitable for autumn. Its bulbs are similar to hyacinths. The roots and buds start to grow in the soil in autumn. When it is particularly cold, they must be temporarily stopped. When the climate warms up in spring or when the ground has just thawed, it will continue to grow rapidly and reach flowering time. When summer comes, the temperature begins to rise, and the growth will gradually slow down and enter a dormant period. . Dormant bulbs can be left in the field or in pots, or you can dig up the bulbs, store them in a room to dormant, and divide them into balls in autumn before sowing. Of course, sowing is also done in autumn. After sowing, it needs to be cultivated for 3 to 4 years before it can bloom.

2. Basic maintenance

It generally prefers cool places and is particularly tolerant of severe cold, so it can grow well in sunny places or semi-shady places. It is also very moist and very drought-tolerant, especially when watering is not particularly strict. In addition, it has certain soil requirements, so when choosing soil, it is best to choose some loose and fertile sandy soil. This will help with drainage and better breathability.

3. Warm reminder

If If you want to use it as a potted plant, be sure to use relatively plump and fat bulbs. Generally, a flower pot with a diameter of about 20 cm is enough, and each pot can plant 2 to 3 balls. When potting, the depth cannot be the same as that of ground planting, as long as the top of the pot is level with the soil surface. If it is planted too deep, the roots will not be able to extend. It is also best to put some base fertilizer in the basin. After planting in autumn, its pot should be buried in the soil, so that it can take root more easily and management is very simple.
