Let's grow the the Chionodoxa luciliae outdoors; they can bear very harsh minimum temperatures, even when many degrees below zero. If you desire cleaning the ground from the bulbous plants after flowering, wait for the leaves to dry; later it’s possible to take the bulbs out of the ground and place them somewhere dark, cool and dry, until the best season to plant them again.Let's grow the the Chionodoxa luciliae in a luminous place, with direct sunlight.
Care Chionodoxa luciliae
These plants are bulbeous. This plant in the spring assumes a blue colouring; it is small in size and can reach 10 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. The Chionodoxa luciliae has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much.
Feed Chionodoxa luciliae
Let’s use a slow release fertilizer, or manure, when planting, mixing the product to the ground; during the spring let’s mix, every 15-20 days, a specific fertilizer for bulbous plants to our irrigation water, starting from the moment in which the first flowers are withering.
Irrigation Chionodoxa luciliae
We suggest watering the the Chionodoxa luciliae every 1-2 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water. We suggest not to exceed with the waterings: if the soil remains damp too long, it can favour the development of rotten in the bulbs.
Adversity Chionodoxa luciliae
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.
Substrate Chionodoxa luciliae
Let’s favour soft soils, with an elevated drainage.
