Instruction
1. For a start it is necessary to talk about grades of tulips. Now contain more than two thousand grades united in fifteen classes. It is possible to distinguish from them several main groups: early, late and average (on blossoming terms), garden, wild-growing. Simple early tulips blossom at the beginning of May, they can be used for distillation. The best grades of this group: "Cooler", "Maun Trezor's Ibis", "Cardinal". Known grades of terry tulips: Electra, Murillo, "Monte Carlo", "Double of Toronto", "Pich Blossom". Very beautiful tulips of groups: "Triumph", Briderovskiye, "Darvinian", Mendeleevskiye, Popugaynye, Liliyetsvetnye.
2. That tulips pleased you annually with the magnificent and abundant blossoming, it is recommended to dig out every season lukovichka, to replace them to other place. Happens so that flower growers do not dig out them two-three years, it sharply reduces chances of reproduction. When leaves of tulips turn yellow and will fall down, it is necessary to dig out bulbs, to wash out carefully in water and to wet for half an hour in fungicide solution. Further within five days dry up them in shadow, you watch that on bulbs direct sunshine did not get. Put in the aired capacity and send for storage to the dark place.
3. It is necessary to plant bulbs of tulips in soil in the fall when temperature of the soil falls to nine degrees. To inadmissibly store bulbs all winter, and then to land in the spring in soil as elements of flower develop at low temperatures, and their growth continues in the spring. The place for landing of tulips has to be protected from strong wind. Allocate to flowers the place where at least three years were not grown up other tulips.
4. Plant bulbs on depth to eight centimeters, the distance between them has to make ten centimeters, in row-spacings – twenty centimeters. Sort children and put them separately as they will blossom only in year. Half an hour before landing take lukovichka in fungicide solution, it is necessary for prevention of diseases. If desired it is possible to decorate landings in low spring flowers or evergreen plants (primrose, pansies, forget-me-nots, daisies, phloxes).
5. At approach of frosts the soil begins to freeze through. Cover landings with garden leaves or humus, layer thickness – two centimeters. Do not stack humus at all on not frozen earth as bulbs can sprout, die. In the spring accurately remove covering (it is desirable to do it in cloudy day), try not to damage sprouts if those are already available.
6. Care for tulips consists in regular loosening, fertilizing and weeding. Tulips very much love moisture. You monitor waterings in droughty weather, the earth should not dry up. Use otstoyanny water, it should not get on leaves. It is the best of all to make fertilizing in ten days twice, use for this purpose mineral fertilizers. When tulips fade, break off seed boxes, but leave peduncle. The bulb should not spend nutrients and energy for forming of unnecessary seeds. For good development of bulb leave on stalk two-three leaves from below at cut.
