For cultivation in a pot, the prepared bulb of the daffodil is placed in a sand mixture, buried to the top and watered. Landing is best done in September. During dormancy, a flowerpot with a daffodil is recommended to be placed in a cool place. Four months later, this indoor flower (bulb) should be brought into a dark room, the temperature in which will be no higher than twelve degrees. When sprouts appear 5-7 centimeters high, the daffodil can be moved to a regular room and watered regularly. After the plant fades, it is necessary to dig it from the ground and collect young bulbs. They should be dried, cleaned of dirt and stored in a cool dark place for storage for further reproduction. In the apartment, the daffodil will feel best on the eastern or western windowsill. The soil for planting should be fairly light, neutral acidity, preferably loamy. For this plant, the most comfortable temperature is +16 o C.
Hippeastrum

During the period of active growth (before the peduncle), the hippeastrum should be constantly sprayed with warm water. With the advent of the first shoots, the flower must begin to be watered. In winter, after pruning, the bulb in the pot should be half buried in the ground and put in a room in which the temperature will be within +16 ° C.

After planting, crocuses must be watered and placed in a cool (+5 ... +9 ° C) darkened place for two to three months. At this time, they need to be watered periodically. Then the flowers can be transferred to the windowsill, shading from sunlight. In two weeks, the bulbs will begin to bloom. At this time, it is recommended to water the plant twice a week. Feeding is not required.
At high temperatures, crocuses will bloom very quickly. Bright lighting also negatively affects them.
