Snowdrop I like the article

Care Snowdrop
This plant in the winter assumes a white colouring; it is small in size and can reach 15 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. The Snowdrop has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. These plants are bulbeous. Feed Snowdrop
In the spring let’s fertilize perennials periodically, using a specific fertilizer for flowering plants, to add to the irrigating water, every 20-25 days; or we can spread a slow release fertilizer near the plants every 3-4 months. Temperatures SnowdropPosizione mezza ombra
Let's grow the The Snowdrop outdoors; they can bear very harsh minimum temperatures, even when many degrees below zero. Locate this plant in a partially shaded place, where it is exposed to solar rays during the coolest hours of the day.Perennial plants mainly have a spring and summer development. During the coldest months of the year the aerial part can completely dry out, to come up the year after. Irrigation SnowdropTenere Umido
Water when the ground is dry; in case of prolonged droughts water very often, otherwise every 1-2 weeks can be enough using 2-3 glasses of water ; avoid water stagnations and excessive watering. These plants display a pretty long period of vegetational rest. During this time it isn't necessary to water the plants. Adversity Snowdrop
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 Snowdrop
We suggest growing these plants in a slightly damp substratum, which isn’t too drained.
