With the onset of winter, many flower lovers are beginning to focus on how to care for their red bulbs. Vermilion is a very beautiful flower, but it needs to be kept with special care during winter to avoid rotting bulbs or frost damage. Many people are confused about whether or not they need to dig up the bulbs of vermilion in winter. This article will answer this question in detail and provide some practical winter maintenance methods for vermilion red.
First, let's answer the question of whether or not we need to dig up the bulbs of vermilion. Normally, the bulbs do not need to be dug up. Vermilion is a bulb flower whose bulbs go dormant during the winter months, when they don't need much light and water. If the bulbs are dug out, it is not only easy to cause damage to the bulbs, but also may affect their normal growth.
So, how should you maintain vermilion in winter? Here are a few practical tips:
1.Controlled watering: Winter is the dormant period of Vermilion, when the plant's need for water decreases. Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of watering, keep the soil moderately dry, and avoid the rotting of the bulbs. In general, watering is sufficient every 10 days or so.
2.Maintain the right temperature: Vermilion prefers warm environments, but can also be hardy. In winter, it is necessary to keep the vermilion red in a warm place indoors to keep the temperature at about 10. If the indoor temperature is too high, it will cause the vermilion to bloom early, affecting its growth.
3.Increase light: Vermilion needs plenty of light to grow properly, and winter is no exception. Place the red in a well-lit place indoors to allow it to fully receive sunlight. If there is not enough light in the room, grow lights can be used to supplement the light.
4.Fertilization: During the winter months, the growth rate is slower and the need for fertilizer is less. But to maintain the fertility of the soil, an appropriate amount of fertilizer can be added when watering. Be careful to choose a fertilizer that is suitable for winter and avoid using too much nitrogen fertilizer, which will cause the plant to grow.
5.Pest control: Winter is also an important time for pest control. It is necessary to regularly inspect the leaves and bulbs of Vermilion, and deal with pests and diseases in a timely manner. Some low-toxicity pesticides can be used for control, but it is necessary to pay attention to the method and concentration of use to avoid causing harm to Vermilion.
Through the introduction of the above maintenance methods, I believe that everyone has a deeper understanding of how to maintain vermilion in winter. As long as you pay attention to watering, maintaining the right temperature, increasing light, fertilizing the right amount and controlling pests and diseases, you can make Vermilion thrive in winter and ready for the next year's flowering.
