Temperatures Dahl's cup lichenSole pieno
Let's grow the The Dahl's cup lichen 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.These plants don't like the cold weather during this time of year. If the minimum night-time temperatures are very harsh it is best to cover the The Dahl's cup lichen with non-woven fabric.

Care Dahl's cup lichen
The development is erect, they tend to grow both in height and in width, giving origin to a rounded shrub. This plant in the summer assumes a red colouring; it is large in size and can reach 50 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. These plants are bulbeous.

Feed Dahl's cup lichen
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 Dahl's cup lichenTenere asciutto
We suggest watering the The Dahl's cup lichen 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 Dahl's cup lichen
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 Dahl's cup lichen
Let’s favour soft soils, with an elevated drainage.
