Beautify the terrace with lupins in the pot
Lupines are not only a great sight in the ornamental garden. Also in the pot or bucket on the terrace they provide colorful accents. If you pay attention to a few things, you will enjoy the flower-shining flowers in many colors for several years.
Select small varieties
For planting in the tub you should choose varieties that are not quite as high as the lupines in the garden. There are breeds whose flowers do not become higher than 80 centimeters.
Plant several colors. This will make the lupines really shine.
It must be the right bucket
There must be enough space for the long roots of the lupine. The pot should be as deep as possible. The extension will not work in the balcony box.
If the pot has no vent hole, pierce several holes in the bottom of the pot. Then the excess irrigation water can drain off. Waterlogging does not tolerate the lupine.
Place the bucket in a convenient location
The pot with the lupine should be as sunny as possible. However, it may not be drafty at the place, because then break the long panicles quickly or tilt to the ground.
Do not place the pots too close together. The air must be able to circulate for the moisture to escape. Otherwise, you will create an ideal climate for mildew.
Since the robust plants are hardy, you do not have to overwinter lupins in the house. But you should definitely ensure winter protection, because the earth freezes faster at very low temperatures and then the roots can no longer suck water.
Lupines in the pot need a bit more care
In contrast to the attitude in the garden, the care of the lupine in the pot is somewhat more elaborate. Important care measures are:
In contrast to lupins in the field, the roots of lupins in the pot can not spread. You must therefore pour more frequently and fertilize occasionally.
Tips & Tricks
Extend the flowering time of your lupines on the terrace by always cutting off the faded panicles immediately. This promotes the formation of other flowers.
