How to avoid mistakes in the autumn planting tulips.
Probably every one of us likes to be on the site is not only clean, but beautiful. Everyone likes a well-groomed, well-dressed and neat plot, not been flooded weed. I do love you! Who we create beauty, if not flowers?
I like best roses and tulips. The topic of our today's conversation - tulips.
Any true gardener knows that tulips are planted in the fall. Then, until the spring they have time to take root, and by May grow up and begin to delight its extraordinary views.
Tulips are not whimsical plants, but some serious errors can destroy them. What is an error, I will tell you below.
Firstly, you need to plant tulips in time.
Namely, before the cold weather and the soil begins freeze. When planting tulip bulbs in the fall, the soil temperature at a depth of ten centimeters should not fall below seven degrees, the air temperature must be not less than three degrees. If the temperature falls below the permissible, the bulbs do not take root, and if they have time, anyway, flowers are bad, and probably does not bloom and soon die. In the northern regions of the best tulips planted in late summer in the southern regions - in October / November. In the middle of the band, the optimum time for planting - September.
Secondly, it is not necessary to plant tulips in the lowlands.
Tulips - a true lovers of light, sun and heat, so it is likely they will grow in elevated areas. In addition, if the plant flowers in the valley, then in the spring, when there is accumulation of water, the bulbs will rot.
Third, no Planted tulips in acidic soil.
These asthenia like slightly acid or neutral soil, in connection with the soil need to deoxidize the chalk, ash, potassium and phosphorus. (Per square meter of one hundred and fifty grams of deoxidizer selected).
Fourth, it is not necessary to fertilize tulips fresh manure.
Although it is a useful fertilizer, but not for tulips, because you can burn the roots, or to provoke the appearance of the fungus. For tulips as fertilizer perfectly suited mineral or humus. And as mulch - straw and peat.
Fifth, we can not dent the bulbs into the soil when planting.
Otherwise, you can damage the roots. You can barely poddavlivat, but does not put pressure on them.
