Cardiocrinum giganteum

Cardiocrinum giganteum I like the article

Feed Cardiocrinum giganteum
Bulbous plants use nutritious substances stored from the previous year for their flowering ; this is why usually the soil should be enriched, during planting, with a slow release or organic fertilizer. Later we must fertilize with a specific fertilizer for bulbous plants, every 15-20 days, starting from the moment in which the first flowers are withering.

Care Cardiocrinum giganteum
These plants have trunks or roots which store nourishment, originating bulbs or tubers. The Cardiocrinum giganteum is large in size and 3 m in height; in the summer it assumes a pinkwhite colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants have an erect, columnar development.

Irrigation Cardiocrinum giganteumTenere Umido
These plants don't need too much water; staying in a soil which is too damp, can easily cause the development of rotten in the bulbs. The Cardiocrinum giganteum needs to be watered quite frequently, every 1-2 weeks ; if there are abundant rains we can diminish watering, which should be done only when the soil is dry. The suggested quantity is 1-2 glasses of water .

Adversity Cardiocrinum giganteum
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Substrate Cardiocrinum giganteum
We suggest an averagely drained substratum, which slightly withholds humidity.
