In the spring, perennials are already fully adapted to weather changes and temperature fluctuations and can easily develop and delight with their flowering. They no longer need to get used to the new conditions of life.

Planting material should be large and without the slightest damage. When buying, it is advisable to carefully examine each bulb. Do not buy bulbs with unusual growths, cracks, dark spots or signs of decay. All this may indicate a disease, and good plant will not grow from such planting material.

Purchased bulbs can be stored for several months in a dry, cool room with a low air temperature (about 8-9 degrees). For long-term storage a loggia or balcony is suitable, as well as a refrigerator. On the balcony planting material must be protected from being hit sunlight. And in the refrigerator, it is better to put the bulbs in the vegetable compartment, where the right level of humidity is maintained.

The most important thing when autumn plantings bulbs - it is correct to determine the time of planting. Planting too early or too late will result in the death of the planting material. Having planted the bulb long before the cold weather, the planting material will germinate, and will immediately die during the first frost. If use late boarding, then the bulb simply does not have time to take root before the cold weather and freeze.

Small-bulbous plants are recommended to be planted much earlier than bulbous ones, because they need more time for rooting. But in early spring, they are the first to appear on the site, sometimes even through snowy thawed patches. Tulips are considered the most frost-resistant, they adapt faster than other plants to changing weather and seasonal temperature changes.

Fall is the time to plan spring flower beds with bright primroses.

Choosing and preparing a landing site for bulbous flowers

The planting site for bulbous plants should be sunny with protection from strong winds. On the selected site, a runoff of melt and rainwater should be provided, for this the surface of the earth is formed with a slight slope to the edge of the flower bed. Stagnation melt water spring or summer rainfall, like over watering, leads to decay and disease of the bulbs.

The soil at the place of planting the bulbs is favorable loose, fertile with good drainage properties. To improve water permeability in heavy clay soils introduce coarse sand.

The site for planting bulbous plants is deeply dug up two weeks before planting. Fertilizers are applied under digging. From mineral fertilizers can be used complex fertilizer for blooming or wood ash 2 glasses per 2 sq.m. From organic fertilizers Only well-rotted compost is added. Manure, especially fresh, should not be applied, it serves as a source of many fungal diseases for the bulbs. Fertilizers should be applied in minimal doses, since their high concentration causes rotting of the bulbs, better in spring make additional top dressing as soon as the plants start to grow.

Selection and preparation of bulbs.

In autumn, during the planting season, bulbous plants appear on sale big choice flower bulbs. When buying bulbs, carefully inspect them for damage, stains or dots. Choose only healthy planting material without the above disadvantages.

Before planting, flower bulbs are soaked for 20-30 minutes in a dark solution of potassium permanganate or with a fungicidal preparation (foundazol).

Planting bulbous flowers

The best period for planting bulbs is from September 15 to October 10, when the soil temperature drops to +10 0 C. The bulbs planted during this period will have time to take root before frost and will not freeze. If you plant flower bulbs earlier, then in spring they will grow faster and frosts can damage the leaves and flower buds that have appeared.

General rule planting bulbous flowers - the depth of planting bulbs is equal to three of its diameters. Planted deepest large bulbs hazel grouses, lilies to a depth of 15-20 cm. Tulips, hyacinths, daffodils are planted to a depth of 10-15 cm, and small-bulb flowers such as crocuses, muscari, snowdrops, blueberries are planted to a depth of 5-10 cm.

Bulbous flowers are planted in rows or groups. Since spring flowers soon fade and lose their decorative effect, they are often combined with other plants with more late deadline flowering.

To plant the bulbs in a row, they dig a furrow, and for group planting, the earth is taken out in a selected area to the depth of planting the bulbs. To reduce the risk of bulb rotting, a layer of clean river sand is poured into the bottom of the hole.

On the sand cushion place the bulbs upside down. The distance between the bulbs when planting in a row should be 8-10 cm, with group landing in a checkerboard pattern, a distance of 10-15 cm is observed.

After laying the bulbs, they are covered with the excavated earth. If the weather is dry, then the planting sites must be watered to speed up the rooting of the bulbs.

For the winter, the surface of the earth where the bulbs were planted is covered with dry leaves or spruce branches. In early spring, after the snow melts, the shelter is removed. Usually bulbous flowers are quite unpretentious and winter-hardy plants.

Autumn bulbous flowers must be planted according to a certain technology. But in order for the plants to take root in a new place, you need to choose the right site and prepare the ground. If everything is done as it should, then in the spring the first sprouts in the flower bed will appear exactly on time.

Site selection and soil preparation

The choice of a site for growing bulbous plants is very milestone. The quality of its implementation directly determines how quickly new residents of the flower bed can sprout after winter. The place is chosen well lit. Cold must not pass through it. air masses. Moisture should also not accumulate on the site or groundwater should not come close to the surface.

In order for such flowers to grow in autumn, the soil in which they were planted must be nutritious. Preferably a neutral or slightly acidic environment. Therefore, the ground is prepared in advance. Preparation is carried out 2 months before the expected time of disembarkation. Fertilizer (compost) should be added to the soil, which will correct the acidity of the soil. Also, moisture-retaining and loosening components can be added to the ground.

Landing technology

Bulbs must be protected from pathogenic microflora that lives in the ground. For this, they are processed by special means(fungicides) or a weak solution of potassium permanganate. When the plants are prepared, we can start planting them. Planting bulbous flowers is carried out according to the following technology:

• First you need to water the place so that the dry soil is soaked. Watering the soil is only necessary when it is dry;
• it is not recommended to loosen the soil, because otherwise, during precipitation, the roots will rise and the flower will turn out to be small and weak;
• further, the depth at which the bulb is planted is determined. This parameter depends on the plant variety. General rule: the depth is equal to a third of the height of the bulb. In this case, the width of the hole should be 4 times the diameter. In the case of heavy soils, the depth decreases by several centimeters, and in light soils it increases;
• then a furrow is made with a chopper. Bulbs are planted in it at regular intervals (the distance depends on the type of flower). Then the planting material is covered with earth and left to winter in this form.

In some regions with a harsh climate, beds with such plants are covered with material for the winter to protect plantings from freezing. In the spring, when the snow melted, the bed opens.

Knowing the technology described above, planting bulbs in the Moscow region or in any other region will take place without problems.
