Saffron, also known as saffron, is deeply loved by flower lovers because of its bright color and unique shape. And when you plant a saffron potted plant at home, you can not only enjoy the beautiful flowers, but also enjoy the joy of planting and harvesting. Let's take a closer look at the steps of planting a saffron potted plant, including preparing the soil, handling the bulbs, planting, maintaining, and watering and fertilizing.
First, let's take a look at how to prepare the soil. Saffron has special soil requirements and requires fertile, loose, well-drained soil. We can use a mixture of materials such as humus, sand, and garden soil to make culture soil. When mixing, it is necessary to pay attention to fully stirring the various ingredients to ensure the fertility and air permeability of the soil.
Next, we need to deal with the bulbs. Saffron bulbs are key to its growth, so we need to make sure the bulbs are healthy and free of diseased spots. When buying bulbs, choose bulbs that are brightly coloured and have a firm texture. In addition, we need to carry out disinfection treatment to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases. The bulbs are usually soaked in a 50% alcohol solution for 10 minutes.
Then, let's do the planting. Before planting, we should first lay a layer of stones or tiles at the bottom of the pot to increase drainage. Then put the treated bulbs into the pot and cover with soil 5 8 cm. Note that the top of the bulb should be exposed to the soil surface to facilitate the growth of new shoots. Finally, we place the planted pots in a cool, ventilated location away from direct sunlight.
After planting, we also need to properly care for the saffron. After budding, we need to let the saffron get more sunlight to promote its photosynthesis. However, in strong sunlight, we also need to shade the saffron from some sunlight to prevent its leaves from getting sunburned.
In winter and spring, we water the saffron regularly. When watering, be careful not to pour directly on the bulbs to prevent them from rotting. Before winter, we need to water antifreeze water once to protect the saffron from winter. And in mid-April, we also need to rehydrate the saffron to meet its growth needs.
Fertilization is an important part of saffron pot maintenance. Before planting, we need to add base fertilizer to provide enough nutrients for saffron to grow. After rooting, we top fertilize every 10 days to replenish the nutrients needed for plant growth. However, we should pay attention when fertilizing that the fertilization should not be too thick, so as not to burn the plant roots.
In general, growing saffron potted plants is not complicated, as long as we follow the above steps, we can completely enjoy growing saffron at home. At the same time, through our own careful maintenance, we can also enjoy the beautiful scene of saffron blooming and feel the charm of nature.
