Saffron has a strong adaptability and is very suitable for pot conservation. It can also be planted in flower beds, under trees or lawns.

There are many varieties of saffron, up to more than 80, of course, many are hybrid ornamental varieties, there are only 30 common varieties, hybrid varieties will bloom later, but its flowering period will be longer.

Saffron is a very attractive bulb flower, most of which bloom in spring. Some small plants are especially suitable for pot conservation and do not have high requirements for the environment, but there are also some planting skills that need to be paid attention to. Keep in the right environment.

1. The environment for conservation

Saffron has a certain degree of cold tolerance, which can vary according to different species. Some crocuses can grow well in winter, and crocuses need to maintain a low temperature of about 12 to 15 weeks before they can blossom in the coming year. However, this low temperature environment is between 2 and 7 degrees, and the temperature below zero is not very good.

When saffron grows into a large area, it blooms all over the garden, and the pink and purple flowers look very natural and fresh, and the viewing is great.

The florescence of saffron varies from variety to variety, but most of them begin to break after the summer temperature rises.

All varieties of saffron that bloom in spring should be planted in early autumn, the conservation location should have more sunshine, and the environment should be ventilated. When saffron blossoms in spring, the leaves will become very few, the flowers will grow very big, and the ornamental will be very good. It should be kept in a cool position in summer to make it grow better.

2. Pay attention to soil and watering

The cultivation of saffron needs neutral soil or slightly acidic soil, but the most important thing is to keep the soil well drained and avoid stagnant water, especially when the summer temperature is high, when the saffron will boil and go dormant and need proper water control.

The planting depth of saffron is generally about 10 centimeters. Make sure the tip of the bulb is facing up so that it can take root and sprout normally, but it is OK to put the bulb flat, it will grow toward the sunny side.

The proper addition of bone powder or mature organic fertilizer under the soil during cultivation is beneficial to promote the flowering of saffron.

Saffron does not need regular care, only in the spring and autumn growing season need regular watering, winter does not need watering, summer dormancy to keep the soil dry, do not need watering, and saffron does not need too much fertilizer, maintenance is very simple.

Saffron stores its energy in bulbs, which is why it continues to grow again in autumn or spring after its leaves turn yellow. Some bone meal fertilizer can be added in autumn to promote saffron blossom in the coming year.

3. Reproduction and diseases and insect pests

The saffron bulb grows lateral buds, but there is no rush to let it continue to grow, but when the saffron leaves on the main stem begin to degenerate, the bulbs can be separated properly.

Saffron is also sometimes infected with germs, which can lead to crooked saffron growth, or even unable to germinate, generally caused by too much watering, which can easily lead to corm rot and fungal diseases.

In order to maintain saffron, we must pay attention to water control, do not need regular management, just keep it in a place with ventilation and more light, with proper shade in summer and low temperature in winter (1-7 degrees). When potted plants are preserved, crocuses and daffodils can be mixed to make them more ornamental.
