    Hemanthus white-flowered In autumn, watering is significantly reduced. In October-January there is a period of relative rest of the plant at a temperature of + 12-14 degrees. This is preparing it for winter flowering. Bulbs bloom at the age of 3 years. Substrate for hemanthus: soddy land, leafy, humus, sand (1:1:1:1). It is important not to overmoisten the soil in order to avoid rotting of the bulbs. They are best planted in wide, shallow pots.

    After transplanting, eucharis leaves began to curl. What about him?

      The curling of the edges of the leaves in plants is most often associated with disruption of the root system. The roots on the bulbs were probably damaged during transplantation. Eucharis does not tolerate the violation of the integrity of the root ball, so it should be transplanted only by the transshipment method, increasing the size of the pot and adding a little fresh soil to the bottom and sides. But even with a careful transplant, minor damage is possible. If the leaves have not lost their turgor and there are no brown spots on them, then the roots have not suffered much and will soon recover.
      To help the plant, you can treat it 1-2 times with a solution of "Zircon" (4 drops per 1 liter of water): spray the leaves once a week and spill the soil. Frequent sprinkling of foliage with water is helpful. But excessive watering will only hurt.

    My friend and I got one for two bulbs Drimiopsis botryoides.

    How quickly she will have babies? We want to multiply the plant.

      My copy of this drimiopsis is about seven years old. Once there was also one onion. When planting, it is almost completely closed, without pricking the neck. Babies appeared during the year. So you do not have to wait long!

      The maternal bulb eventually lifted above the ground, and the onion bulb on the surface - only leaves. To disconnect them, you must remove all the "nest" from the pot, separate the desired number of children, if possible without destroying the clod of earth on their roots, and plant them in small containers. The children get along well.

    Well, I have a plant with wide leaves (pictured). It blossomed only once with white flowers, like lilies. In the spring of 201 b year, all the 4 bulbs were transplanted into a larger pot. When the window was opened, the leaves wilted, I cut them. Then new leaflets appeared. How should I take care of it so that it will blossom?

      This euharis
      Handsome man can be capricious and do not bloom for years, so you need to consider his requirements.
      First, do not rush to plant the bulbs. Eucharis begins to bloom when the pot is densely filled with daughter bulbs. The grown plant is transplanted once in 3-4 year with complete replacement of the soil, then it is possible to separate the children. The optimal soil substrate is a ready-made special or a mixture of leaf, compost, loamy soil and coarse-grained sand (4: 2: 1: 2). The bulb is embedded so that its tip is at the level of the substrate.

      WHAT IS NEEDED FOR CARE?
      Oriental or north-western windows are preferable for eucharis. On the southern and south-western leaves in the spring can get burns.
      The plant does not like heat: the optimum temperature in winter is + 15-17 degrees, in summer - + 22 degrees, for growth - not less than + 18 degrees, with sharp and frequent drops the flowers are smaller.
      Water the Amazon lily moderately, after drying the upper layer of the substrate, avoiding drying and waterlogging. Leaves are often sprayed with standing water at room temperature, except for the flowering period.
      Feeding begins after 1-1,5 months after planting and only in spring and summer - 2 once a month with full complex fertilizer, for example, "Kemira".

      WHEN FLOWERING
      Eucharis can bloom 2-3 times a year: in autumn-winter, in May and August. For winter flowering in August, reduce watering and remove the pot from the plant in a dark place.

    After the final fading of the foliage, the bulbs of spring-spring crops (tulips, daffodils, hyacinths) are excavated and laid out to dry in the sun. Then they need to be cleaned of the earth, the remains of foliage and placed in dry boxes or boxes for storage for planting in the fall.

    February is the time to get the bulbs of crocuses, hyacinths, tulips and daffodils from the refrigerator, which we will drive out by March 8. To make it work, we offer a list of the most common problems:
    Only one leaves are formed, and the flower bud does not appear at all. The reason is that for distillation you have chosen too small young bulbs.
    The bud appeared, but remained underdeveloped, the leaves did not turn to the end. Here the reason lies in poor rooting due to a violation of the temperature regime, as well as with sparse or too little watering.
    Formed "blind" buds. There may be several reasons at once. Firstly, the temperature regimes during the rooting of the bulbs were not observed, the cooling periods were not correct. Secondly, the temperature is too high.
    s Peduncles appeared, but the flowers hung. The reason is the lack of calcium. Also, flowers can wilt if the soil is too acidic.

    On the surface of the soil, an incomprehensible white coating appeared in the flower pots. It seems that the irrigation regime did not change, no new fertilizing was used. Why can such a raid appear?

      White plaque on the surface of the soil may appear after watering - if the pot also has such a plaque, then this is most likely salt. In tap water, various compounds are always present, depending on the hardness, the salts of iron and calcium. It is necessary to clear the pot of plaque, replace the topsoil. Watering is recommended with filtered water.
      White coating can also be a consequence of the development of mold due to excessive watering. In this case, it is necessary to replace the top layer of the soil and reduce watering.

    Flowers in pantyhose
    In order for my house plants to grow well, I make a garlic immunostimulant. 5 cloves of garlic cut into 4 pieces and pour 1 l of boiling water. I insist 20 min. This will be concentrated fertilizer. For watering plants I breed garlic infusion in the ratio 1 a. l. on 1 l of water.
    And I also know an unusual way of transplanting indoor plants. I take old unwanted kapron tights, cut and. into parts. slightly higher than the height of the pot. I tie one edge into a knot and lay a new pot on the bottom, and wrap the edges behind the pot walls. Then I plant the soil and plant the plants. To the edges of pantyhose not sticking out, cut them off, leaving "ears", which I fill with earth. Now, during the next transplant, you can easily remove the flower from the pot (pulling the "ears") without damaging the roots.

    How to protect bulbous plants from mice?

    Reply
    • E. GROSHAVEN

      Under the code name "mice" are harmed by different rodents. In particular, in addition to the mice themselves, a common, or red, voles (or just a shorter tail and a dull muzzle) causes great harm, as well as a water vole, which is often called a water rat. The latter very vigorously eats up also the roots of young seedlings.
      A hit of popular councils for allegedly successful struggle against them is Vishnevsky's ointment and casing with daffodils. With some lag, there is a recommendation to plant imperial hazel grouse, and already forgotten tips are being weaved in the tail to bury smelly fish waste or rags soaked in kerosene. One can say about the latter that not a single “stinker” is able to work all winter long. If it does, then a week or two, no more. But the rest are no more effective.
      Collectors use planting in mesh boxes and special containers, as well as in "prepared" bottles (usually five-liter) from drinking water. They cut off the top and make drainage holes in the bottom. But the tanks are buried in such a way that the edges rise slightly above the ground. Only then can rodents not get to the contents. Finished onion baskets, buried deep along with the sides, are visited with mice with great pleasure and sometimes are gnawed together with bulbs.
      Effectively reduce the number of rodents can be annual (in the autumn, when the cats were taken from cottages, which can grab a poisoned rodent) by disposing of poisoned baits. But try to buy poison, calculated not only on rats and mice, but also on a mandatory basis and on voles. And they have to be specially looked for, unfortunately.
      It is even better to lay the poison regularly throughout the year. But remember that the number of rodents is noticeably reduced not immediately.

    Delicate lilies of the valley
    Garden lilies of the valley, in my opinion, are much more beautiful than their forest counterparts. The leaves are wider and longer, and the flowers are larger. Garden lilies of the valley are not listed in the Red Book, which means that they can be collected for bouquets as much as you like.
    It is best to plant lilies of the valley in September-October. Focus on temperature, but most importantly - on the state of flower leaves. If they began to turn yellow, then it is time for a transplant. Keep in mind that lilies of the valley love shade and partial shade. They will feel great near the wall of the house or under fruit trees. Moisture is perhaps the most important thing for these plants! Without abundant watering, they will not bloom. But it’s important not to overdo it so that the soil does not become swampy. But light, loose earth for plants is what you need.
    In addition to regular watering, young lilies of the valley will be happy with organic fertilizers. Mineral can also be applied to flowers planted at least a year ago.
