Skillfully plant Japanese miracle flower - how to do it right
Slack and inconspicuous, the Japanese miracle flower sleeps the day. When, in the late afternoon, their colorful flowers open and give off a beguiling scent, we can not stand it out of amazement. Learn how to plant the floral magic right here.
Which location is suitable for a Mirabilis jalapa?
For the Japanese Miracle Flower, choose a full sun, warm and sheltered location. Since each flower only opens for one night, it should not disturb the place when withered petals trickle down there. The plant makes no special demands on the soil conditions, because it thrives magnificently in any normal, fresh and well drained garden soil.
When does the planting begin?
In the middle of May the ice saints say goodbye, the planting time for Japanese miraculous flowers begins. Since the exotic summer flower is not hardy, please do not expose the tubers to the risk of ground frosts. By the middle of June at the latest, the tubers should be in the soil.
How deep should I plant the tubers?
Her pre-grown by sowing on the windowsill or ready-bought Japanese miracle flower comes with a fleshy tuber. To ensure that their shoots do not have to fight their way through a thick layer of soil, a careful soil preparation and the right planting depth are of relevance. How to do it right:
Lightly press the earth with your hands without over-compacting them. Finally, gently water the planting area without revealing the tubers that are just below the ground. Please do not spread a mulch, so as not to complicate the buds unnecessarily.
Tips
The wonderful Japanese miracle flower is too good for one year of cultivation. Although the summer flower is not hardy, it still has the life force for several years. Dig the tubers before the first frost and overwinter them airily and dry in the cool, dark cellar.
