Flower shops are full of a variety of street plants grown in pots. Primrose is especially popular. Their flowers can be of various sizes and colors. But how to maintain such beauty? Can a plant survive in open ground?
Typically, primrose is offered to customers from early March to mid-April. In order to preserve the plant before being transferred to the open ground, first of all, it needs to be transplanted, having cleaned the roots of the substrate in which they live in a pot.
The fact is that they achieve magnificent flowering by applying a huge amount of fertilizer, usually phosphate. In a nursery, at a constant temperature and necessary humidity, the primrose feels great, and when the content conditions change, they begin to hurt and disappear.
Fertilizer burns the roots. As soon as the plant fades, it is no longer possible to save it. Therefore, there is a need for an immediate transplant. It is worth saying that this will lose the decorative look. The adaptation period takes about a month. Primrose can bloom again in a new place after acclimatization.
If it is possible to plant a flower in a greenhouse, then this will be the best option. Too warm conditions are not required, and a light frost before planting in open ground in the greenhouse is intrepid.
Stages of a Correct Transplant
- Water the plant and leave it for an hour.
- Remove from the pot and carefully disassemble the roots, removing all the ground.
- Rinse the roots in water to remove the maximum amount of fatal nutrition.
- Plant in the ground and water well.
- Try to water the first week daily.
- After a stable positive temperature is established, primrose can be planted on a flower bed.
In the open field, flowers may hurt at first, but this will not affect their future fate. Feeding these plants is best done 1.5-2 months after the transplant procedure.
Thus, you can save magnificent flowers that are intended for street cultivation.
