Long tube flower

Generally planted with bulbs, the weather can turn warm from April to May. After the bulbs begin to sprout, the bulbs will be planted upright or parallel to the soil surface, covering soil about 1.5 cm high. The cultivation medium needs good drainage and can be used after the cultivation soil is mixed with perlite and vermiculite. The cultivation place should have bright scattered light, and the adult plant can accept direct light, as long as it can avoid strong sunlight. If you want the plant to grow thicker (especially the hanging basin variety), you can pick the heart when the new buds pop out of the soil and grow the second or third pair of leaves to promote more new buds to grow. The suitable temperature for childbearing is about 15 ℃ at night and higher than 21 ℃ at day.

Do not let the plant lack of water during the growth period, otherwise it will cause the plant to dormancy early and the underground bulbs can not be formed. After autumn, the plant will stop blooming, and the branches and leaves will slowly wither and enter the dormancy period. At this time, it is necessary to reduce watering, promote the development of the bulb, and avoid excessive moisture to make the bulb rot. When the upper parts of the place are withered, the bulbs can be dug out and stored in transparent plastic bags, and put some slightly wet vermiculite to maintain moisture, put in a cool place, and then take out and plant the bulbs after sprouting in spring; the bulbs can also be left in the original basin, but need to be moved to a cool place to shelter from the rain, as long as the basin soil is slightly wet, do not often water.
