Common Mistake

The main mistake is related to the depth of planting the bulbs. Miscalculation in this case leads to the bulb simply not sprouting or blooming very weakly.

1. Preparing the plot. You need to dig up the bed, add humus or peat. If the soil is heavy, this can be easily fixed with sand. Ash or lime is added during digging.

2. Planting depth. In this case, gardeners pay special attention. The planting depth from the bottom is equal to 2-3 bulb diameters (≈20-25 cm).

3. A layer of sand is poured onto the bottom of the hole. If the soil is heavy, then moistened peat is used instead of sand.

4. The roots of the bulb must be straightened and then covered with soil. Some call this procedure not planting, but transplanting.
