Many people are not very clear about how to care for the spring grass they have bought. Let's start with the basic knowledge of spring grass. Spring grass is a perennial bulbous succulent plant of the hyacinthaceae family, named after its twisted and coiled leaves like springs.
Spring grass prefers a cool, moist, and sunny environment, and is afraid of humidity and heat, tolerant to semi-shade, drought-resistant, and has some cold resistance. It has the habit of summer high-temperature dormancy and growth from autumn to spring during the cool season. The main growing period is from September to the following April. It is advisable to maintain a temperature of 5°C to 20°C in winter, in which the plant can continue to grow and normal fertilization and watering management can be carried out. If watering is controlled to make the plant dormant, it can safely overwinter indoors without dropping below 0°C.
In the middle to late May, with the increase of temperature, the above-ground leaves gradually wither, and the plant enters a dormant state. The dried leaves can be removed, and the bulb can be left in the original pot to spend the summer. The pot should be placed in a dry, well-ventilated area without water accumulation. By the end of August to early September, with the cooling of the weather, new buds will grow from the bulb, and normal management can be gradually resumed. It is worth mentioning that during summer dormancy, the plant does not need to be completely without water throughout the summer. It can be slightly moist, although the leaves have withered. The underground bulb still grows, and watering should not be done on the dried leaf heart. After a summer, the bulb will have grown significantly. Spring grass loves light, and sufficient light should be provided during the growing period. Insufficient light will make the leaves weak and less curled, making it difficult to highlight the unique charm of spring grass. Plants growing in a sunny environment have low, sturdy leaves that twist and curl, which are highly ornamental, but after April, a sunshade net should still be set up to avoid direct sunlight and prevent the leaf tips from drying out.
Spring grass prefers a moist environment. During the growing period, it is advisable to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. If there is a long-term lack of water, the plant will not die, but growth will stop, leaves will turn yellow, and even wither; while long-term waterlogging in the pot soil will cause bulb rot. It is advisable to frequently spray water on the plant to increase air humidity and prevent the leaf tips from drying out.
In summer, to avoid flooding during the rainy season, the pot can be placed on a shelf or a platform of certain height, and watering should be controlled to prevent bulb rot due to water accumulation, but the pot soil should not be completely dry to prevent the bulb from drying out. From October to the following April is the plant's vigorous growth period, and a thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer should be applied once a month to provide sufficient nutrients for the plant to grow vigorously.
The above comprehensive method of how to care for spring grass is explained in the hope that it can serve as a starting point to solve your problems with green plants.
