How to care for tulips and daffodils in the spring? Simple tips to help enjoy the beauty of flower bulbs in full. And, most importantly, what will help make feeding bloom luxuriantly, brighter, more abundant!

Trim and healthy bed

Some unlucky growers do not bother to question the proper care of tulips and daffodils in spring. Constantly repeating to himself: "Why they grow so well". And then the gentlemen wonder why flowers pomelchali and even started, like, lose the positive varietal characteristics. It seems here that tyulpanchik on a bed is not as bright and large?

First fad in the minutes of the April planning meetings - to restore order in the flowerbed. I hope all my readers have already put a tick next to it.

It is necessary to remove the old plant debris and gently proryhlit ground. So that does not damage the feathers of tulips or daffodils, not forgetting to get around the bulbs in the ground side. Of course, at the same time to choose out of the ground all the roots of weeds. Then, less hassle with them will be!

Make sure to remove the bulb from the tulips and daffodils that have signs of the disease. Beautiful flowering they will not show. But your neighbors may well perezarazhat. Such a mess for a long time then mopped! Perhaps your consolation fact: the vacant place will be young kids!

Now go over the issue of soil acidity. And the tulips and daffodils prefer pH 6,5-7. This means that the land should definitely acidic lime. It offers the grower:

• a piece of chalk;
• dolomite flour;
• lime;
• favorite wood ash and similar means.

I see no reason to neglect the care of the proper acid-base balance of the flower bed. And the tulips and daffodils (April-May tireless tsvetuny) will thank triple. Why torture the plant, preventing it from normal conditions?

Strange, but the tulips and daffodils should be watered

They say that all the bulbs do not like stagnant water in the garden. Because of this, the roots rot and onion in person. True. But the tulips and daffodils are also suffering from drought. Lack of water adversely affects flowering.

The best option - keep the soil on a bed of wet constantly. But, of course, not all of us have the strength, the time, the desire to run around with a watering can in April and May (summer even oncoming). Try to water the tulips and daffodils at least in the hot and dry weather.

And now the sweetest

The main feature of fertilizing tulips and daffodils: at the roots of the plants are... a very modest size. Therefore, long-acting fertilizer (granules on the ground), it makes sense to use only once after the snow / leaves during the early part of the land of growth. If you pour them later, fertilizer just do not have time to act. By the way, for this I always use NPK 16:16:16.

Now, giving a start to the lush flowering:

• As soon as the buds, generously treated tulips and daffodils superphosphate and derivatives of fertilizers potassium salt. To preparations had act to dissolve them in water (50 g and 30 g per 10 liters of water).
• You can replace the liquid complex fertilizers (even for indoor plants). The main thing that was a part of the phosphorus.
• After flowering plants Feed the favorite again potassium salt. Potassium is needed for full ripening bulbs.
