Stand for Datura
Datura plants grow best in positions sheltered from the wind and sunny, but not sunny.Support large specimens with poles.For planting, use good quality soil for potted plants.
Datura irrigation
On sunny days, Datura plants absorb a lot of water, so they need to be watered abundantly.The surface should never be wet, however, excess water accumulated in the base should be poured away.
Bieluń - fertilization
The bushes are fed from March to August twice a week with a special liquid fertilizer for Datura or a good-quality fertilizer for flowering potted plants.
Cutting Datura
Trim the plants before placing them in the winter quarters. Shorten the shoots only in those parts of the crown where they bifurcate in the shape of the letter y. Strong pruning may delay flowering next year.
Datura - wintering
Shrubs are hibernated in a bright room at a temperature of 12 to 18 ° C, in a dark room - at a temperature of 5 to 10 ° C.We only irrigate to such an extent as to prevent the substrate from drying out.Expose the bushes to the air in April and May.
Tip
Plants overwintering in the dark after being left in the quarters should be placed in semi-shaded positions. Otherwise the sapwoods can get burned.
