Kalohortus flower and its cultivation

The perennial exotic plant Kalohortus has about 60 species that grow naturally in Mexico, Canada and the United States. It was from there that exquisite flowers were brought to our country. They amaze with the delicate beauty of flowers, which can be purple, white and yellow.

If you decide to grow Kalohortus on your site or at home, then remember that the plant feels comfortable both in partial shade and in a sunny place. The main thing is that the soil is well-drained and moderately fertilized with special mineral fertilizing. This will be the key to abundant and long-lasting flowering.

As for watering, you need to prevent the bulbs from rotting. Therefore, it is better to reduce the frequency of watering in the summer in order to prevent the possible death of the ornamental plant due to improper care on your part.

For reproduction of Kalohortus, bulbs or seeds are usually taken. If you use bulbs for these purposes, then it is advisable to plant them in the ground in the fall. By the way, if you store them in a summer cottage or another place, then keep in mind that rats, rabbits and mice are not averse to profit from bulbs.

The highest demand is for the alpine species of Kalohortus, since their first green shoots can be seen immediately after the early melting of the snow. But again, even these varieties are adversely affected by excessive soil moisture, since it leads to the rapid development of bacteriosis. If the summer is rainy, then it is better to dig up the bulbs after the growing season and store them dry.
