When and where to plant

You can plant the bulbs of the plant in open ground in the first two months of autumn. The flower prefers open sunny areas or partial shade. The place must be protected from strong winds and drafts. Providing them with such conditions, you can increase the flowering period. When planting a plant, pay attention to the presence of groundwater close to the surface, the flower does not like them. Therefore, try to find a place where they are not. If this is not possible, then make an artificial embankment.
Delnašo prefers loamy soils with low to medium acidity. It can also grow both clay and sandy, but always well drained. The flower loves moisture, but does not tolerate stagnation of water. If the soil assumes stagnation, then you must either choose another site, or add river sand to the ground. Before planting, the soil must be cleared of weeds, stones, etc.

The bulbs are cooked the moment the leaves on the plant begin to dry out. The bulbs are dug up, peeled and immersed in a solution of potassium permanganate for a while. The solution should be a weak solution of three manganese crystals diluted in one liter of water. After that, the bulbs are laid out on a cloth, dried well and sent for storage in a dry and well-ventilated room.
If you plant the onion right away, then all these procedures do not need to be done.

Inspect the bulbs before planting.Do not use for planting those that have even slight damage or rotten specks. Use only the healthy, strongest and largest.

Narcissus Delnasho: landing rules

Prepare the holes before planting. They should be made to a depth of no more than 12 centimeters and be at a distance of 20 centimeters from each other along the row and at the same between the rows. Plants need space, it is the observance of the distance between them that allows the bulbs to multiply. If you land them too close, then there will be no such opportunity. After the plant is planted, the hole is covered with earth and lightly compacted. Next, the site is covered with a layer of humus mulch, which will keep moisture and prevent weeds from actively growing.

In order for the plant to receive all the necessary elements for growth and development, the soil must be saturated in advance. this must be done about 30 days before planting. To do this, dig up the area well and add a mixture of potassium, humus and phosphate there.

Care rules

Delnasho needs care during the entire period of their growth and development, however, it is not difficult and does not differ much from caring for other flowers.

Watering

With the onset of spring, plants should be watered abundantly and regularly. Do not forget to ensure that there is no stagnation of water. This can provoke rotting of the bulbs.

Check the soil before watering again. To do this, dip your finger into the soil by 3 centimeters and if the soil is dry, then you can proceed. Please note that it is necessary to water the plants not only during the period of growth and flowering, but also after they have faded. The fact is that the bulb needs to accumulate its necessary substances precisely in the period after flowering. The water used for irrigation must correspond to the outside air temperature.

Watering ends only when the leaves begin to dry out.

Fertilizer

In order for the plant to feel comfortable and to develop well, allowing us to enjoy its beauty, it must be fed. For this, mineral fertilizers containing nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are well suited. During the entire period of growth, these flowers feed on those nutrients that have been accumulated in the bulb.

For the first time, feeding is done at the time of planting. Fertilizers are applied along with watering, as this contributes to their better assimilation. At this point, they should contain elements that contribute to the correct and good development, this is sodium, phosphorus and potassium.

The second feeding is done in the spring, during the period of bud formation. Fertilizers based on nitrogen and potassium are already needed here. One square meter will be sufficient.

For the third time, feeding should be done while flowering is just beginning. During this period, it will be relevant to use a universal granular fertilizer, for example, nitroammophoska.

Remember that all fertilizers are absorbed best and are most effective when applied after watering. Also, after feeding, the earth must be loosened.

Pruning

Pruning is done immediately after the leaves are dry.
Cover plants for the winter with spruce or pine branches, straw or other non-woven materials

• Penicillus rot is a fungal disease that occurs due to high humidity.Control methods are the prevention of plants by spraying with a solution of copper sulfate.
• Borithiasis - to cope with this disease, prevention will also help. It is made by treating the bulbs with a solution of copper sulfate.
