1. Basic information of flower leek

Flower leek, also known as Spring Star leek, is a monocotyledonous plant native to Argentina. Because he is very similar to leek, people named him Hua leek. It is also called Spring Star leek because it blooms in spring and its flower shape is like a star

Flowering period: flowering in spring, from March to June, dormant in summer

Design and color: white, yellow, pink, blue, light blue, purple, etc. There are many and dense flowers, which are essential for broken flower control

2. Cultivation points of flower leek

Soil quality: it is best to use the combination of peat soil and perlite, which is both breathable and nutritious

Sunshine: the sunshine time cannot be too long. It is more suitable for warm and windproof places

Moisture: water properly, and the soil surface can be slightly wet

Fertilizer: cake fertilizer is used as the basic fertilizer, plus some bone powder. When the flowering period is coming, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied to promote the formation of flower buds

Planting: it is easiest to plant in autumn. Generally speaking, it can be buried before and after the national day, but it can be later in the south. Dig a pit, about as long as two bulbs, and then plant the flowers. After the flowers are withered, we must apply fertilizer normally. Wait until the leaves are completely lost, then transcribe the seed ball, put it in a cool and ventilated place and wrap it in paper. Even a very small flower leek bulb can produce beautiful flowers in that year as long as it is carefully maintained
