After a cold winter, the snowdrops are the ones that announce spring to us; these are also called the announcers of spring. The little bell is ringing this year, revealing to them that we will have a thriving spring that we will enjoy for a long time.
Snowdrops are those plants that remind us that nature rises every time with the arrival of spring. The tenderness of these flowers gives us hope in the new year that has come. What could be more beautiful than to see the garden surrounded by snowdrops?
They are planted in the fall and are found in stores in bulbs. They can be grown both in brighter and more intuitive areas of the garden if we want to enjoy their beauty and fragrance.
We can plant as many bulbs as possible, taking care not to be attacked by pests because these plants do not attract pests.
As for the soil we will plant, the snowdrop bulbs must be moist soil, rich in humus, and very well-drained. When we plant snowdrop bulbs, we make a small hole about 5 inches deep and about 3 inches apart from each other with the tops up so that spring can rise. If we want to have a snowdrop carpet in our garden, we can put several snowdrop bulbs in the same place.
It is essential to consider where you plant them concerning other flowers or flower bulbs from our garden. We can also plant snowdrops in pots if we do not have a large garden or enough space for them.
As for their watering, they must be done in moderation, given the season in which they appear.
After the flowers of the snowdrops have faded, the leaves must be left until they dry out so that the snowdrops take the energy needed to bloom every year and multiply.
As for their multiplication, they do not multiply much by seeds and primarily by offsets. What are these offsets? They are practically mini bulbs that form near the mother bulb, and that will also become as big as possible and thus will produce flowers in the next season.
Once these delicate flowers have left us for this season, we must still take care of them, even if they are no longer visible on the surface of the earth. Why should we take care?
Because we will plant other flowers next to them, we can easily hurt the snowdrop bulbs if we are not careful, and they will not bloom next year.
To enjoy these beautiful flowers as much as possible, we must follow these tips in the garden and the house.
I wish you a prosperous spring.
