Bulbous flowers

Bulbous flowers are far from all plants that have a tuber or root in the form of a bulb. Onions are called those plants in which this root is an independent kidney. In such a bulb there is always a special round formation, which is usually called the Don. The root rudiments are usually located near this bottom, and when planted in the ground they begin to actively develop.

If you take an onion and cut it from the tip to the bottom, then in the middle of it you can see the germ of the flower's arrow. Around this arrow are the rudiments of leaves. Bulbous flowers have in their roots a sufficient number of nutrients that allow them to develop regardless of the season. For example, flowering in winter, which is quite rare for other plants, bulbous often occurs. Magnificent coloring and a delightful aroma of flowers in bulbous plants makes them very popular with flower growers.

In the bulb is a certain number of leaves, so it should be with great care to take the leaves from the bulb and cut only those that are poorly developed or susceptible to disease. Bulbous flowers grown at home are divided into those that have a period of rest, and those that do not.

Bulbous plants that have a period of rest, at a certain time, lose almost all the leaves. At this time they do not need watering. The second type of plant remains with green foliage all year round, and only before the flowering period should come, their growth slightly increases, and at the end of this period some of the leaves may die off. During the growing season, watering is usually reduced, but does not stop, as bulbous flowers that do not have a rest period do not tolerate the drying out of the soil.

Bulbous plants develop better and faster if they are kept in a cool and bright room. However, such plants do not tolerate cold, so you should carefully monitor the temperature in the room and avoid drafts.

Flowers bulbs are best planted in pots, in which the height is equal to the length. Volumetric pots are not suitable for growing such plants, because in them slowly growing bulbs can oxidize and rot. It is also better to choose pots with porous walls, glazed pottery is not suitable for bulbous flowers. To ensure a normal flow of water, you should take care of good drainage in advance. For irrigation bulbous it is better to use thawed water. This is especially important after transplanting, so plants adapt more quickly to new conditions for them. It is also very important that the water temperature during watering is as close as possible to the temperature of the earth in the flower pot. It is necessary to avoid watering plants with lime water, since from such watering the plants get sick.

Room bulbous flowers, photos of which can be found in various sources, are wonderful plants that will decorate any room, bringing comfort and beauty to it. For example, haemanthus, cleavis and pancreaticums, evergreen bulbs, care of which is not particularly burdensome, look great in any interior and will be suitable for planting both an apartment and an office.
