Light Tapertip onionSole pieno
These plants are rustic in the areas with a Mediterranean climate, therefore they can be grown outside. 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.The Tapertip onion should be preferably located in a place where it can have at least a few hours a day of direct solar light.

Cultivation Tapertip onion
These plants are bulbeous. This plant in the spring assumes a purplepink colouring; it is small in size and can reach 30 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. The Tapertip onion has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much.

Fertilize Tapertip onion
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.

Water Tapertip onionTenere asciutto
Let's water abundantly, moistening the soil deeply with 1-2 glasses of water , but let's act only when the substratum is dry, leaving it dry even for 1-2 weeks before watering it. 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.

Pests Tapertip onion
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.

Mold Tapertip onion
Let’s favour soft soils, with an elevated drainage.
