Instruction
1. By the general rule the narcissuses are replaced in four-five years after landing. But this term is relative and depends on the external factors influencing growth of narcissuses. If your flowers became worse to blossom or, on the contrary, have formed dense thickets - it is sure sign of the fact that it is time to make change. It is better to do it in the fall.
2. After leaves have turned yellow and have laid down, dig out bulbs of narcissuses. Do not postpone, otherwise the quality of planting stock will decrease, and future flowers will not take root.
3. Clean the dug-out bulbs from the earth and examine. If you have noticed signs of the disease, burn the infected copies. Also reject soft bulbs. Further wash out bulbs and put them in potassium permanganate solution for 30 minutes. Then place them in superficial box and put in shadow in the open air or in the shed. You watch that temperature was about 17 °C.
4. Prepare the place for change. Dig up the earth in one and a half-two weeks prior to landing. It is necessary to dig up on shovel bayonet depth.
5. At the end of August or the beginning of September begin to plant flowers to the open ground. For this purpose dig out poles. On bottom of pole fill a little sand. Depth of pole depends on the size of bulbs. Also consider quality of the soil. Usually the bulb is dug in on three heights. If you want narcissuses to grow densely, bulbs have at distance about 10 cm from each other. If you want to multiply the grade interesting you, increase distance to 20 cm.
6. Strew from above on bulbs ashes so that it has covered them completely. It is necessary to lay the earth on ashes. And, mix half of the earth with compost, and the second with fertilizers. Use complex, with phosphorus and potassium. Consider that fertilizers it is necessary to put twice less, than it is written on packing. It is caused by the fact that earlier you used ashes and compost.
