I like the article This plant in the spring assumes a blue colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 40 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. The Leucocoryne ixioides has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. These plants are bulbeous. Feed Leucocoryne ixioides
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. Temperatures Leucocoryne ixioides
These plants can be put outdoors only if any danger of freezings has gone by. Let's grow the The Leucocoryne ixioides in a luminous place, with direct sunlight.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. Irrigation Leucocoryne ixioides
We suggest watering the The Leucocoryne ixioides 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 Leucocoryne ixioides
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 Leucocoryne ixioides
Let’s favour soft soils, with an elevated drainage.
