Even if the weather conditions do not allow the canna to please with its lush flowering, its large leaves of various colors can make the flower garden especially beautiful.

Cannes Indian landing

Canna is a very thermophilic plant, so it is worth germinating it already from March. To stimulate growth, the rhizomes can be immersed in a manganese solution. Cannes should be planted in fertile loose soil, in a container with a diameter of 20 cm, to a depth of 6 cm.

Indian Cana Care

The main conditions are regular watering and loosening of the soil. You should also regularly fertilize with organic mineral fertilizers - once a month.
Watering should be reduced at the end of August, and completely stopped before digging. After the first freeze, the cannes should be cut (to a height of 15 cm), dug up, dried at a temperature of 15-18 degrees, hanging them upside down. After that - cut to 3-5 cm and put in wooden or paper boxes, sprinkled with sand or peat. The substrate should be periodically moistened, avoiding drying out.
