Green Planter
Posted in Art Pottery on 10/24/2010 12:39 am by adminWhat to do about unbloomed bulbs?
I have a large planter (19 "tall, 22 inches deep and 52" long). It has tulips, Daffodils and I think some iris it - i he inherited. One daff. flowers about 2 or 3 tulips. All I have right now is green leaves. I see not even a sign of a stem or flowers of any kind. I do not know if something happens to come from them. Any thoughts? i Last year, planted basil and probably will again, but I do not know when to give up the green and then what to do. I'm just digging up the bulbs and planted in pots? I wonder if maybe they are not getting enough sun where they are, but if the other flowers, why not the flowering of these? Thank you for all the answers.
Lack of bloom with lush green foliage may also indicate a lack of phosphorus. Phosphorus can be found in phosphate rock, bone meal and various organic liquid fertilizer such as fish emulsion. If they do not bloom this year's dig and to closely inspect bugs, etc. They normally grow for 10 weeks after flowering if we're talking mid to late June most likely. replant them in one place that bypasses the solar year about 4-6 cm distance using a teaspoon of bonemeal under each. I think you might be surprised results! If you have received them in the pot, they might be crowded and should be divided. Wait until the foliage dies back, dig them up and separate. You'll need to replenish the soil with fresh soil as the old ground is probably stripped of nutrients. Bulbs need a space wide and deep. They will work in a container, but will do its best planted directly in the ground.
