Basic rules for the care and cultivation of daylilies

Daylilies or daylings are unpretentious plants that can grow in all conditions.

But this does not mean that they do not require care at all, these plants need suitable conditions for their growth.

Growing daylilies in the garden

First you must choose a place for planting daylilies. For varieties of light and pastel shades it is desirable that this be a sunny place. And for red, purple varieties, an incomplete shade is suitable so that they do not fade ahead of time.

Windy weather is not terrible for them. Also, there should not be large trees or shrubs near the landing site.

A loose, well-drained loam is suitable as a daylily soil. It is better not to plant daylilies in clay soils, or, in extreme cases, you can add compost and sand. For good growth and development of the plant, add organic matter to the soil.

For the beginning of the purchased plants, inspect, remove, if there are, dead roots. Next, soak the roots in a weak solution of fertilizer for about a day, if the roots are very dry, if not, then a few hours will suffice.

Sometimes a growth promoter is added to the solution (for example, willow infusion). To further bacterial rotting, treat the roots with a fungicide, especially if you plant in the summer.

Now go to the landing. Dig up enough space (well), the hole should exceed the size of the root system. Make a small hill in the center and place the plant on the very top, while straightening the roots.

Then sprinkle with fertile soil to fill the entire hole, add a little water. Cover all the space with plenty of water.

If the daylily was planted in spring or summer, then it should be watered every day throughout the week. Then you need to water once or twice a week, and preferably in the evening. Water directly under the bush itself. A month after planting, you can add feed in the form of organic and mineral fertilizers.

As for fertilizer, it is better to pick it up in accordance with the soil in order to compensate for the deficiency of some necessary substances. Always inspect the plant, because of the various signs (yellowed leaves, etc.) may indicate a lack of certain minerals.

Remember that after fertilizer daylily you need to pour abundantly. It is necessary to fertilize both young bushes and old ones, but do not overdo it with this matter, as the color of flowers will change.
