Evening Primrose: soil, planting, watering, care.

Although there are many kinds of primroses and the differences in their content, they all have in common is that these plants love in varying degrees shading. They need constantly moist soil and can not tolerate overheating of the soil and root system in the summer heat. Evening Primrose unpretentious and grow well in ordinary garden soil, but if your site is heavy clay, it was to be ennobled.

 

If the soil is light, sandy, it may strongly freeze in winter and summer, the root system primulas will overheat and dry. Plants from this greatly weakened and may die in the winter. Thus, such soils should add 2 – 3 buckets of humus earth and a bit of clay.

The root system develops primulas soil to a depth of 20 – 30 cm, on which it and should be dug.

As the moisture-loving plants, primroses nevertheless not endure stagnant melt in spring water. Getting in such conditions, they rot and die. Therefore, the spring must be to see how goes ice water, and if necessary, to take her.

A very positive effect on early spring primroses watering their warm solution 0,01% Dummatov. It stimulates good root system recovery after the winter.

Two weeks after blooming primroses are beginning to lay the buds for next year. Fertilize them at this time a solution of mullein (1:10) or fermented green manure. Flowering species occurs at different times, therefore, conducting feeding, consider this fact.

Long-term monitoring a primula convinced that they should not be over 3 – 4 years to grow in one spot. During this time the soil is exhausted, in addition, growing its upper part, the plant is above ground level and dries the air. The old roots gradually die young and closely. In turn, mastering new roots ground quite close to the surface. During the summer, the soil is eroded, the roots and laid bare, as a result of difficult food primroses and there is a danger of frost. Fall to such plants must podsypat land and in the following year to zaglubit root system, they must be transplanted.

Transplant primulas better to just after flowering, although permitted to do so at another time, but no later than August 15, since before the cold weather at the plant have little time to develop a good root system. Transplantation primula carefully dug out from a lump of land and transferred to a new place, after preparing the hole size you want. Land around the plant settle down, and pour in the hot landing pritenyayut. In the future, primrose regularly watered.
