Tulips have faded. What to do the florist?

Tulips are one of the first garden flowers thatappear to remind us of the approach of summer, fast warmth and rest. Do you want to bring this time closer, arrange a spring holiday for the New Year, Lovers' Day or have such a "symbol" at home in a pot by March 8? Then we begin to act. When tulips have faded in your garden (what to do, it happens quite early), the place of their planting will soon become empty and ugly. Therefore, a combined method of using several plant varieties with different flowering periods is simply necessary.

For arrangement of a flower bed on which you planplanting of tulips, it should be borne in mind that these plants should not be planted in the foreground. They will delight and revive the front garden, while all other flowers are still in a state of growth and rest before the beginning of the dissolution of the buds. But the tulips have faded. What to do? Their leaves start to turn yellow and spoil the appearance of your flowerbed. To preserve the attractiveness of the composition throughout the summer season, it is recommended to combine them with violets, early narcissi and hionodox.

If you plan to plant tulips with herbaceousperennials, here, on the contrary, it is better to place them on the foreground. During the flowering bulbous bushes will grow and cover the unsightly yellowed foliage. You can also use the option of planting tulips in a container. The bulb is placed in any container in which you need to make a lot of holes, fill it with earth and bury it. When the tulips in the pots bloom, they are dug out and transferred to a more shaded place. This method is convenient, you can in the place where the plants were planted, plant new flowers, and the faded tulips will not spoil the appearance of your site.

Recommendations for those who did not useas described above, after the tulips have faded. What do you do? Leave the plants at the site of planting, pre-cut the stem, do not touch a couple of sheets, so that the bulb receives the necessary amount of nutrients through them. Feed the plant with mineral fertilizer (for any method of planting). Wait for the leaves, when they completely turn yellow, and the stem will become soft and will bend. Dig up the bulbs and place in a cool place. Day for such manipulations you choose dry and sunny. You can treat the bulb with a weak solution of potassium permanganate, but then it must be dried in the sun.

If you do not plan to get a tulip flower toChristmas at home, then the landing is conducted in September directly into the ground. The most favorable period for planting is when the soil temperature has dropped to 10 degrees Celsius. Pour into the ground horny flour and compost, mulch. Plant tulips better groups, so they will look more aesthetic. Note the place to prevent bulb damage early in the spring.

If you want to get a tulip to winterholidays, he must arrange a kind of early winter, "deceive" the plant. Depending on what holiday you want to receive a bud, put the bulb in a container and send it to the refrigerator, until you have the first shoots and begin to rest on the walls. Transfer to a cold window sill. And then in your house came the spring, when the window is a winter blizzard. You will have a logical question: "When home tulips have faded, what should I do in this case?". Again, all the same, digging, to plant in September in the open ground, this tulip will no longer bloom in the apartment conditions.
