Callas are perennial plants that require a dormant period in winter.

 Callas are beautifully flowering perennials, they can be grown as a potted plant, or planted in the garden. With the arrival of the first frosts, the question arises: how to store callas in winter? For productive wintering, they need a temperature of at least -2ºС. Not all climate zones are characterized by such mild winter weather, so these perennials need to be dug up for the winter to create optimal conditions for them.

HOW TO DIG UP CALLAS CORRECTLY?

 The time for this technological operation is after the first frosts, approximately:

- early October in the middle zone,

- early November - in more southern regions.

 There is no need to worry that the first small frosts will damage the plant. On the contrary, this will be a signal for it about the end of the vegetative period. The plant will stop spending nutrients on the formation of leaves when it begins to prepare for the dormant period.

Features of natural aging.

 During aging, the leaves on the plant begin to turn yellow. This is a natural process that should not be interfered with.

7 rules for growing boviaea indoors!

 When growing boviaea, there are usually no serious difficulties. But in order for the plant to feel comfortable, it is necessary to follow a number of agricultural rules:

 Put boviaea in a bright place. This crop is considered shade-tolerant, but the length and branching of the peduncle directly depends on the intensity of lighting.

 Grow at moderate temperatures with cool wintering. Boviaea easily adapts to any temperature regime, but prefers to grow with a clearly defined change of seasons.

 Be careful when watering. This crop does not tolerate even short-term over-moistening of the substrate. It is difficult to dry out boviaea, but very easy to overwater.

 Do not plant boviaea in too large pots. The roots of boviaea are thick and strong, grow well and require a sufficient volume of soil. However, when determining the diameter of the pot, you should focus not on the roots, but on the bulb. The diameter of the container should be only 2-3 cm larger than the diameter of the bulb, otherwise the plant will start to get sick.

 Plant the boviaea in a very light, drained substrate. It should allow water and air to pass through freely and not contain too much humus. Excessively fatty soils cause the boviaea bulbs to rot.
