Perennial datura (brugmansje) have larger flowers: tilted or pendulous in the shape of a funnel, trumpet or tubular.The most commonly cultivated species are: white datura Brugmansia candida with white and light yellow flowers , Datura Brugmansia suaveolens with white and pink flowers, Datura Brugmansia sanquinea with orange-red and odorless flowers, and Datura Brugmansia aurea with peach yellow, golden yellow flowers and giant leaves.
Perennial Bielunie - care and requirements
Plants of these species are among the most magnificent container flowers, but they also have high requirements.To grow and bloom beautifully, we need to provide them with humus soil, rich in nutrients, sunny place in summer but sheltered from winds, abundant watering and regular feeding with a compound fertilizer for flowering plants at a concentration of 0.3-0.5% from May to mid-August every 7 days. You should know that the symptom of a lack of nutrients is yellowing leaves that fall off quickly (similar symptoms may also be the result of feeding aphids, spider mites and thrips).
Remember about the care procedures: removing small, thin shoots and faded flowers, because it favors longer flowering.Before the first frosts, hide the plants in the cellar.In late autumn, shorten the shoots by 1 / 4-1 / 3, and in the spring we make a correction cut (shoots that have withered or rotten should be cut to a he althy place).In March-April, we transplant the plants into larger containers, and enrich the substrate with a well-spread cow or compost.
Watering in tandem with fertilization
Ground plants are in a privileged situation that the stock of food stored in the ground is constantly being renewed. It is different in potted plants.In their care, watering should go hand in hand with weekly feeding.During the summer growth and flowering of strongly growing species, food reserves are exhausted after a few weeks. As a result of malnutrition, the leaves lose their green color and turn yellow.
Further effects of malnutrition are the inhibition of plant growth and the fall of flower buds or fruit, while not tying new ones.Therefore, in summer, potted plants should be supplemented by adding liquid fertilizer to the watering water.
