Tuberose flower - fragrant tenderness

Poets and writers of the Silver Age often mentioned in their works the intoxicating aroma of the night beauty - tuberose, alluring and sophisticated, it made you give in to dreams and desires. Unfortunately, this wonderful flower is now, if not completely forgotten, then no longer as popular as it was a couple of centuries ago. But polyanthes tuberous - a real find both for a personal plot and for decorating a room. Tuberose flower - charming with its delicate aroma and delicate elegant beauty.

This miracle belongs to the Amaryllaceae genus and comes from Mexico. Having spread across the globe, Tuberose has conquered many flower growers. When caring for polyanthes, the gardener should focus on gladioli. It is also heat-loving; it also needs to be dug up for the winter and stored in a cool, dry (optimal temperature +10 degrees) room.

Tuberose should be planted in late February or early March. bulbs need to be taken at least 2 centimeters in diameter, remove the babies, clean the bottom of last year's roots - the same as with gladioli. The soil for tuberose needs to be specially prepared: leaf soil - 2 parts, humus - 1 part and sand - 1 part. Before planting in the ground, the tubers can be treated with a root formation stimulator. To do this, dip the onion halfway into the prepared solution. Pre-germination can also be carried out in wet sawdust.

If tuberose is grown at home in a container, then it needs to be provided with optimal temperature conditions - it loves warmth, and water conditions - it is better to “underwater tuberose than overwater it.”

The growing conditions for tuberose are not difficult, but they will be rewarded with beautiful delicate flowers and a delicate aroma.

Good luck!
