How to plant colorful calla lily bulbs
An introduction to the planting and techniques of colorful calla lily bulbs and related green plant flowers. Let's follow the editor to take a look!
Calla lilies have large tubers growing underground, similar to the ginger we eat. They are usually planted from autumn and gradually develop flower buds to bloom by the New Year. The blooming period is very long. When planting calla lily bulbs, it is essential to remember to cover them with a layer of soil, at least 5 centimeters thick. If it's too thin, the seedlings will be weak.
After planting, the calla lilies will first grow roots. Once the root system is established, they will directly sprout. As soon as they sprout, we need to supplement fertilizer promptly. Since it is a tuberous plant and will bloom after the leaves grow for a while, we plant it to admire the flowers. Therefore, we should supplement fertilizer after the leaves appear, choosing fertilizers high in phosphorus and potassium content, and not lacking in other elements, such as "Flower多多 No. 2," applying it 2-3 times a month. This provides sufficient nutrients, allowing the roots to grow continuously, and the buds to keep emerging. After growing a few leaves, flower buds will continuously appear, making the flowers very beautiful when they bloom.
When caring for calla lilies at home, it is essential to expose them to sunlight as soon as they sprout. If there is not enough sunlight, it is easy for the leaves to become elongated, with long, thin, and large leaves, and the color will be much lighter, which will affect the appearance of the flowers later on. Therefore, calla lilies must be placed in a well-lit area, with the temperature maintained around 10 degrees to grow rapidly, preferably around 15 degrees. How should we water them? Generally, when the potting soil is dry to a depth of about 5-6 centimeters, or almost half, we can water it directly. If you're unsure, insert a bamboo skewer halfway into the soil and water when the skewer is dry.
If the indoor lighting conditions are really poor, we can use a dwarfing agent every two weeks to achieve a dwarfing effect and make the plant bloom earlier. For these root plants with tubers, the maintenance is very simple. You just need to prepare well-ventilated soil, ensure proper watering frequency, regularly supplement fertilizers high in phosphorus and potassium content, and then place it under the sunlight. It will grow leaves directly and produce flower buds after a while. Moreover, the blooming period of calla lilies is very long, making them suitable for indoor cultivation. Those who like them can quickly get one and learn how to care for it.
The above is an introduction to how to plant colorful calla lily bulbs and their planting methods and techniques, which can be used as a reference for everyone.
