Bulb flowers are far from all plants that have a tuber or root in the form of a bulb. Bulbous are those plants in which this root is an independent kidney. In such a bulb there is always a special round formation, which is commonly called the bottom. Root primordia 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 top to the bottom, then in the middle of it you can see the embryo of the arrow of the flower. Around this arrow are the beginnings of leaves. Bulbous flowers have enough nutrients in their roots that allow them to develop regardless of the season. For example, flowering in winter, which is quite rare for other plants, occurs very often in bulbous plants. The magnificent coloring and delightful aroma of flowers in bulbous plants makes them very popular with amateur flower growers.
There is a certain amount of leaves in the bulb, so you should be very careful when producingremoving the leaves from the bulb and cutting off only those that are poorly developed or prone to disease. Bulb flowers grown at home are divided into those that have a dormant period and those that do not.
Bulbous plants that have a dormant period lose almost all their leaves at a certain time. At this time they do not need watering. The second type of plants remain with green foliage throughout the year, and only before the flowering period should begin, their growth increases slightly, and at the end of this period, part of the leaves may die off. During the growing season, watering is usually reduced, but not stopped, since bulbous flowers that do not have a dormant period do not tolerate drying out of the soil.
Bulb plants develop better and faster if kept in a cool and bright environment. However, these plants do not tolerate cold, so you should carefully monitor the temperature in the room and avoid drafts.
Bulb flowers are best planted in pots whose height is equal to the length. Bulky pots are not suitable for growing such plants, as slow-growing bulbs can oxidize and rot in them. It is also better to choose pots with porous walls, glazed ceramics are not suitable for bulbous flowers. To ensure a normal flow of water, you should take care of good drainage in advance. For watering bulbs, it is better to use melt water. This is especially important after transplantation, as the plants quickly adapt to new conditions.conditions for them. It is also very important that the temperature of the water during watering is as close as possible to the temperature of the earth in the flower pot. You should avoid watering plants with lime water, as this watering plants get sick.
Indoor bulbous flowers, photos of which can be found in a variety of sources, are wonderful plants that will decorate any room, bringing comfort and beauty to it. For example, hemanthuses, clivias and pancratiums, evergreen bulbs, which are not particularly burdensome to care for, look great in any interior and are suitable for landscaping both an apartment and an office.
