Ornithogalum montanum

Ornithogalum montanum I like the article

Exposure Ornithogalum montanumSole pieno
The Ornithogalum montanum plant can be grown in the garden throughout the whole year. It doesn't fear cold weather and it bears very harsh minimum temperatures. During the period of vegetative rest, it’s possible to take the bulbs or tubers out of the ground; the well cleaned and dried bulbs should be placed in a cool, dry and dark place; to be planted later on during the most indicated time of year.For a balanced development, it is best to position the the Ornithogalum montanum in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight.

Generalities Ornithogalum montanum
The Ornithogalum montanum develops bulbs or tubers. Ornithogalum montanum isn't an evergreen; during the spring it assumes a white colouring; the adult species are small in size and reach 15 cm in height. Growing they develop a round-shape shrub.

Fertilization Ornithogalum montanum
Let’s add some organic fertilizer or humus to the soil, when planting our bulbous plants, in the spring or autumn; later let’s remember to start fertilizing when the flowers are withering, using, every 15-20 days, a specific fertilizer for bulbous plants.

Watering Ornithogalum montanumTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants only from time to time, but we must remember to wet the soil deeply using 1-2 glasses of water every 1-2 weeks . To avoid that the bulb or tuber should become rotten, we must remember to avoid excessively abundant waterings, which keep the soil wet for a long time.

Treatments Ornithogalum montanum
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Soil Ornithogalum montanum
We advise cultivating these bulbous plants in a soft and light, very well drained, soil.
