Something else: Cultivate the ornamental laurel in the pot
Admittedly, the ornamental garlic is usually planted in the garden in beds, in discounts and on roadsides. But those who do not have their own garden do not necessarily have to abstain. This plant can also be cultivated in a pot, for example, on the home balcony.
Varieties that are predominantly suitable
Not all varieties of ornamental onion are suitable for a pot culture. The giant ornamental onion, for example, is rather unsuitable due to its stature height of up to 2 m. He is best in the field. On the other hand, you can use all small varieties for pot culture.
These include, among others:
Which location is suitable for this potted plant?
A garlic in the pot wants a lot of sunshine. Its location should therefore be sunny to partially shaded. Well suited are east and west locations. A location on a south-facing balcony is less suitable. There it should be ensured that the soil of this plant does not dry out.
But not only on the balcony can find a suitable location for the ornamental in the pot or in the bucket. Also suitable are:
Find and fill a suitable pot
Whether clay or plastic pots or even pails made of stone - choose the vessel that you like! It should be at least 25 cm deep and 20 cm wide, depending on the variety.
For filling, conventional potting soil is sufficient. It is important that the substrate is permeable and nutrient-rich. If it is too compact, it will be loosened up with some sand. Alternatively, you can apply a drainage layer of pebbles.
Over-winter the Zierlauch in the pot
If the ornamental leek were left outside in the pot in winter, it would freeze to death. If you want to continue cultivating it, you should hibernate it. It is best to remove the above-ground parts of plants in the fall and place the pot in a frost-free, but cool place.
Tips
In order for the ornamental-rose to bloom and remain healthy every year, it must be fertilized every two weeks from April to July.
