This is very important, since sand protects the roots from decay.
Bulbs should be planted compactly, but in no case be in contact with the pot and with each other. Their tops should slightly protrude above the soil layer.
Further, pots with bulbs should be given peace with an ambient plus temperature of about seven degrees. Under these conditions, they should last about two and a half months. Soil moisture should be fully provided. Drying must not be allowed. During this period, the rooting of the bulbs of hyacinths occurs.

Very many are fans of hydrangea. But how to grow hydrangea so that it justifies all the efforts and efforts put into it? To do this, be patient.
Hydrangea is very fond of a sunny place. This is an ideal condition for its existence. But the penumbra also does not frighten her. In spring, hydrangea is best planted in early May, and in autumn in September, and the distance between them should be a meter and a half. The core should be at ground level. At first, hydrangea needs to be hidden from the sun until it takes root. During the first two years, it is necessary to remove the inflorescences to allow the bush to be fully saturated with nutrients. This will significantly affect its development. The first fertilizing with mineral fertilizers must be done in the spring. Then, during the appearance of the buds, a second top dressing is performed. Well, further fertilizer is produced in the summer, when the plant is mature enough. Hydrangeas are in dire need of very moist soil, so they need to be watered every week for fifteen liters for each bush. In spring, hydrangeas are pruned, which is made to each bush strictly individually, depending on age. In the fall, inflorescences that have already faded are removed. In winter, the roots must be covered, for example, with manure, rotted or dry leaves and peat, and woody trunks will be wintered without shelter.
