The time of Tuberose ball division

Generally, split ball propagation is carried out in spring. The big ball can bloom in the same year, and the small ball can bloom in one to two years

Preparation of Tuberose split ball

Before the frost at the end of autumn, after the aboveground part of evening Jasmine withers, dig out the bulb to dry, remove the soil and fibrous roots, remove the wrinkled old ball, leave only the new bulb, and cut a thin layer from the bottom of the ball to expose the white root; Continue drying until dry, then braid the remaining leaves into braids and hang them in a warm and dry place for storage in the winter

Or use the method of furnace drying and fumigation, hang the bulb indoors, and set the furnace below to dry and fumigate

Divide the bulb into 5-6 large balls and 10-30 small balls, dry them and store them in a dry and ventilated place indoors

The basin soil is generally acidic soil with loose drainage and good air permeability. It is generally composed of 3 parts of peat soil or rotten leaf soil, 2 parts of coarse river mud and a small amount of farm fertilizer. When potting, the bottom is about 1 / 5 deep and filled with granular broken bricks

Steps of separating the ball of Tuberose jade

It is usually planted from April to May. Before planting bulbs, the bulbs are placed at 25 ℃ - 30 ℃ for about 10-15 days of wet treatment

Plant the big ball and the small ball separately, and the planting depth should be shallow, because shallow planting is conducive to flowering. Generally, it is appropriate to plant the big ball with the bud top slightly exposed to the ground. When planting the small ball, the bud top should be lower than or flush with the soil surface

Generally, it takes more than one month to emerge, and the growth is relatively fast after emergence

Management of Tuberose after ball splitting

In the early stage, the seedlings are small and there are few leaves, so don't over water. When the flower stems are pulled out, keep sufficient water. In the rainy season, pay attention not to let water accumulate in the basin to prevent root rot

Tuberose jade likes fertilizer. It is generally applied once after planting for one month, once before flowering, and once every one and a half months or two months later. Topdressing should be carried out before flowering
