How to cultivate Allium tuberosum
This article introduces the cultivation methods of Allium tuberosum and the planting tutorial of its bulbs in the field of green plants and flowers. Next, our station editor will introduce it to everyone.
Allium tuberosum is a bulbous flower that is relatively cold-resistant. In the north, we have planted it in Shandong and it can easily survive the winter. Its flowering period starts from early summer and continues until the end of autumn, with continuous blooming as long as the bulb is large enough. Of course, the small bulbs separated from it can bloom after a year of cultivation. The best time to repot it is during its growing season, such as spring and autumn, when repotting is optimal.
Its maintenance is also very simple. Generally, it is better to plant it in the ground at home. If it is planted in a pot, we should use soil with good breathability. Using nutrient-rich soil or adding some river sand to increase breathability and water permeability is recommended. The maintenance environment must provide sufficient light, otherwise it will not bloom. In any season, even in winter when the temperature is low and it is dormant, it should be placed in the sunniest area. Normally, water the soil when it is half-dry or almost dry, and water it thoroughly. Its root system is quite robust, capable of storing a lot of water and nutrients. As long as the soil has good breathability and the soil is watered thoroughly when it is dry, this can ensure it does not lack water.
Since it is a bulbous flower, if we want it to grow bulbs quickly and bloom, we should choose fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium content, as well as other elements. Do not use pure phosphorus and potassium fertilizers or fertilizers with high nitrogen content, as nitrogenous fertilizers will only make it grow leaves. Ensure it is fertilized 2-3 times a month, following the principle of applying thin and frequent fertilization.
This is the best way to maintain Allium tuberosum. Ensure sufficient light, keep up with fertilization, and water according to the soil's dryness, watering thoroughly when the soil is dry. This can ensure it does not lack water, has sufficient fertilizer, and the bulbs continue to grow and produce small side buds. Its leaves look similar to the chives we eat, and it comes in many varieties with a variety of flower colors, making it very beautiful. Even just appreciating the leaves can bring a unique sense of beauty. For those who like to grow flowers but are not very good at it, growing a pot of Allium tuberosum is the best choice, as it saves time, effort, and energy.
The above is a specific introduction to the cultivation methods of Allium tuberosum and the planting tutorial of its bulbs for netizens to refer to.
