and used substratum is recycled into a compost for growing pot flowers. Plastic and polyesthere
boxes are also gathered and recycled. All rain water saved in reservoirs and later used for plants
watering is gathered. The company aims for the accreditation of ISO 9001 quality management
systems .
The company supplies the newest equipment and devices, greenhouses are equipped with
modern computerized plants growing and maintenance systems.
Computer system regulating all flowers maintenance equipment
Watering. The plants are watered in a greenhouse by damping them from undernearth. The
water flows by hoses and the shelvings are filled automatically. Depending on the size of pots, the
number of plants in a shelving and kind of plant, the water stays in a shelving from 10 to 30 min.
The water runs out from the shelves through the hole in one end of the shelving near the path. The
hole is covered with a special plastic or metal cover with small gaps in it in order the water runs out
and the cover keeps the substrate. After the water is cummulated, cleaned, disinfected and used
again.
The plants are watered also with water hoses, moving along the shelves.
Watering system
Fertilization. The plants are additionally fertilized by combining the fertilization with
watering. When watering every time, the plants are fertilized with the solutions of low concentration
(0.05 – 0.1 per cent) fertilzers. The following fertilizers are usually used in a farm:
Superba – NPK + Mg + S + microelements (7:4:21).
Calcinit – N – Ca (15.5 – 19).
Hort - (microelements) B – 0.20 per cent, Co – 0.10 per cent, Fe – 1.42 per cent, Mn – 0.54
per cent, Mo – 0.03 per cent,
Zn – 0.10 per cent.
Sangral, NPK - 3:1:3, 3:2:6.
The fertilization and watering system is fully automated.
Heating. It is one of the most important systems in a greenhouse. Greenhouses are heated
by electricity. The heating in greenhouses is supplied by tubes, mounted under the shelvings and on
the walls of greenhouses. The heating is adjusted automatically.
Heating by tubes is installed at the bottom of the shelves
In one block of greenhouses, the plants requiring similar temperature and lighting are
grown.
Ventilation. Roundstone Nurseries greenhouses are equipped with heat receivers which
react automatically to the changed nature and surrounding conditions. The ventiliators are turned on
or shields (curtains) are pulled down. Ventiliators are also used for equal heat and relative air
humidity distribution in a greenhouse.
Ventilation of greenhouses by ventilators
In a farm of greenhouses, one block of greenhouses is equipped, in which the plants are
rooted. A particularly high air humidity of up to 98 per cent concentrates there and the
temperature is 25°C. As a practice, water vapour is saturated with chemical material, which
protects the plants from diseases. These are optimal conditions for plants rooting in short
period of 7 – 14 days.
Equipment. In a greenhouse farm, in order to reduce the hand work, much
technique and equipment are used.
Compost mixing and boxes filling machine
Plants planting machine
Pots with substrate arrangement on shelvings machine
Workers. The company employs 80 permanent workers and about 300 workers are
temporarily hired for spring seaons. These people perform all works in a farm from
planting to realization.
The most hand work requires preparation of flowers to realization: sticking of labels
and packaging.
Prepared for realization production
For summer season flowers are started sowing on the first week of January and are sowed till
the end of April. Sawing period takes 16 weeks.
The plants of the following genus are grown in the largest quantities for the main summer
season:
Begonias (Begonia sp.), Petunias – (Petunia sp.), Sages –(Salvia sp.), Marigolds (Tagetes
sp.), Touch-me-nots – (Impatiens sp.), canna lilies (Canna sp.), Calibrachoas (Calibrachoa sp.),
Gazanias (Gazania sp.), Suteras (Sutera sp.), Ageratums (Ageratum sp.), Dahlias (Dahlia sp.),
Lobularias (Lobularia sp.), Zinnias (Zinnia sp.), Saxifragas (Saxifraga sp.), Celosias (Celosia sp.),
Pinks (Dianhus sp.), Portulacas (Portulaca sp.), Sweet peas (Lathyrus sp.), Nicotianas (Nicotiana
sp.), Nemesias (Nemesia sp.), Monkey-flowers (Mimulus sp.), Snapdragons (Antirhinum sp.),
Diascias (Diascia sp.), Mid day flowers (Mesembryanthemum sp.), Ragworts (Senecio sp.), Lobelias
(Lobelia sp.), etc.
The sprouts of vegetatively reproduced flowers are brought from Israel, Holland and
Denmark. The sprouts are of 5-8 cm length, stored in a fridge in 6 0 C temperature, after they are
sticked into peat Jiffy tablets ‘Teku‘, which are placed or into the pots of 6 cm or into polyester
boxes.
In 10 weeks this way 12.9 mln. Units of different flowers (total number of all kinds and
species of flowers as well as the number of colours) are reproduced. Some flowers are reproduced in
seeds and in sprouts as well: Pelargonias, Verbenas, Petunias, Calibrachoas, Touch-me-nots, etc.
Form vegetatively reproduced flowers, the largest number is grown of Fuchsias (Fuchsia
sp.), Pelargonias (Pelargonium sp.), Touch-me-nots (Impatiens sp.), Verbenas (Verbena sp.) and
Grey Ragvorts (Senecio maritima).
In a smaller scope, Morning Glories (Ipomoea sp.), Torenias (Torenia sp.), Sticktights
(Bidens sp.), Cape daisies (Osteopermum sp.), Pericallis (Pericallis sp.), etc. are reproduced.
Many species of spice plants are also grown in a farm: Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum),
Thymes (Thymus sp.), Mints (Mentha sp.), Melisas (Melisa sp.), Rosemaries (Rosmarinus sp.),
Chives (Allium schoenoprasum), Common Sages (Salvia officinalis), Corianders (Coriandrum sp.),
Oreganos (Origanum sp.), etc. These are the plants which can be rgown in pots and conteiners.
GROWING OF POT GREENHOUSES FLOWERS
A wide assortment od pot greenhouse and outside flowers for planting the environment is
grown in a greenhouses farm. One of them are reproduced by seeds, the others are reproduced
vegetatively and some of them in both methods.
Sowing. The reproduced by seeds flowers are sowed by two types of machines in a
company:
1. ‘Drum‘ machine designed for sowing small amounts of seeds. It performs the sowing
process quickly and qualitatively.
2.
‘Decop‘ machine designed for sowing large amounts of boxes.
Sowing machine ‘Drum‘
Seeds are sowed into boxes made from pressed compost, they are particularly suitable for
replanting or planting into boxes from unpressed compost. When working at a maximum speed,
‘Decop‘ machine sows 400 boxes an hour.
The main suppliers of seeds are the following companies: Holland Company ‘Ball
Colegrove‘, American Companies ‘Florensis‘ and ‘Thompson & Morgan‘, Japanese Company
‚Sakata‘. Denmark Company ‘Pla – int‘. The seeds are delivered by post in cardboard boxes. The
seeds are stored in fridges in the temperature of 7 degrees. The sowing is performed into polyester
boxes with thermal layer (thick-walled).
Boxes with thermal layer
Sowing process. Empty polyester boxes are placed into a car, in which they are filled with
pressed compost and are further moved by a belt into the sowing machine, in which with a help of
vacuum from 126 to 405 seeds are sowed, (depending on the number of squares in a box). After,
already full boxes are moved further by belt through a vermiculit tube and a thin layer of it is poured
(this is a material, which is poured on the top of seeds in order to keep warmth and humidity).
The sowed seeds are mulched by a vermiculit
Vermiculit is used for the seeds of almost all kinds, except Lobelias, Pelargonias, Begonias
and Antirrhinums. Later the boxes are moved through a watering equipment, watered and
automatically placed in the piles of five units and transported to growing greenhouses.
Substratum. The plants in the company are grown in ‘Pindstrup‘ peat substratum with
fertilizers, the pH of which is 5.8 – 6.3. It is brought from Latvia. Substratum is of 8 kinds
(numbers), which is prepared for growing of different flowers. This substratum is used for
reproduction and for growing of plants as well.
Vegetative reproduction. The sprouts of vegetatively reproduced flowers are brought from
Israel, Holland and Denmark. The plants are of 5-8 cm length, stored in a fridge in the temperature
of 6 degrees, after they are sticked into peat Jiffy tablets ‘Teku‘ which are placed into the pots of 6
cm size or into polyester boxes.
Pelargonias in Jiffy tablets
This way, 12.9 mln units of different flowers are reproduced in 10 weeks (total number of
all species and breeds of flowers and the number of colours). The plants are planted by replanting
machines.
Plants replanting machine
Most of flowers are replanted into polyester boxes. The planted flowers are transported to
greenhouses.
The flowers in a farm are grown in two periods (seasons): winter - spring and spring summer (mostly for environment growing). In these periods, the assortment of the grown production
differs.
The assortment of flowers of winter – spring season and their growing
Fuchsia (Fuchsia L.) belong to Onagraceae plants family. Genus includes about 100
species. They are small decorative trees, bushes or semibushes with cross leaves, tube blooms with
red or white cup. There are many multicolour species with single or double and monocolour or
bicolour blooms, with vertical and leaning sprouts.
The following species are grown in a farm: Hybrid Fuchsias (Fuchsia hybrida Voss),
Brilliant Fuchsias (Fuchsia fulgens Moc.et Sesse ex DC.) and Creeping Fuchsia (F. Procumbens R.
Cunn. Ex A. Cunn.) [9].
Fuchsias are reproduced in a farm by sprouts which are brought from farms of Denmark.
The sprouts are sticked into pots with peat mixture in a depth of 2 cm. The size of pot is 10 11 cm.
Sprouts of Fuchsias sticked into pots
Substratum must be wet all the time. The sprouts are sprinkled with water. At the
temperature of 25°C, the sprouts form their roots in 2 weeks.
In order to form a beautiful bush of a plant, Fuchsias must be pruned. The tops of Fuchsias
are taken away over the fifth pair of leaves. The cut tops must have 4 small leaves. They are used
again for reproduction. Fuchsias need much space.
In little space, the flowers form a rot, the plants are weak and spindle. This is the main
problmen of Fuchsias.
Growing of Hybrid Fuchsias in shelvings
Cyclamens (Cyclamen L.) are perennial plants of Primulacea family.
The leaves are multilobe, they grow in groups, are round or oblong, dark green with silver
drawings in exrternal part. Their diametre is 9 - 14 cm, the length with stems is 12 - 17 cm. The
leaves keep on the plants for 90-120 days. The blooms are big, of 6 - 7 cm diametre, they grow
separately on a large (15 - 25 cm) pedicel, white, rose, red, violet or have a spot in the middle or is
with darker edges. There are also shapes with odorous blooms and with fringe petals, etc.
The seeds are sowed in July–August into the boxes filled with wet peat substratum (pH 5.5–
6.5) in rows. They are poured with a layer of 0.5 cm of the same substratum and sprinkled with
water. The boxes are stored in a temperature of 20–22o C, away from direct sunlight. The seeds
germinate in 4 weeks, the boxes are transported to the enlightened place when the sprouts start
protruding from the ground. When the sprouts have one well-developed real leaf, they are replanted
(pricked) into cassettes or small pots of 5–7 cm diameter, filled with peat substratum (pH 5.5–6.5).
The sprouts of Hybrid Cyclamens after replanting
In order to stop spindle of the plants, the temperature is reduced up to 15–17o C. The roots
grow and develope better in lower temperature. The pricking is performed carefully, since the roots
of Cyclamens are very fragile. When the pricked Cyclamens establish, the temperature is reduced up
to 12o C. When the plants have 3 developed leaves, Cyclamens are replanted for the second time into
the pots of 8–9 cm diameter, and for the third time they are replanted into the pots of 12 cm diameter
when all ground in a pot is filled with roots. The bulb is placed equally to the ground surface.
Cyclamens start blooming after 4 months from the last replanting, approximately after 7 – 8 months
from sowing, miniature breeds are replanted after 6–8 months.
Pelargonias (Pelargonium L ‘Her.) are the plants of Geraniaceae plants family. Stems can
be grass or woody. The leaves are round, lobate, feathery and sometimes very odorous. Blooms
grow in unmbrella trusses.
The following species are grown in a farm: Striped Pelargonia (P. zonale L ‘Her. Ex Aiton.),
Ivy-leaf Pelargonia (P. peltatum L ‘Her. Ex Aiton), Large-leaf Pelargonia (P. grandiflorum Willd.)
[9].
The stems of Striped Pelargonias (Pelargonium zonale) are vertical, woody, the leaves are round,
skin-deep lobate and hairy. The edges of leaves are striped. The trusses are ball-shaped with
multicolour double and single blooms. The blooms of Large-leaf Pelargonias (Pelargonium
grandiflorum) are big, the leaves of blooms have a wavy edge, they are often bicolour. Their
blossom period is comparatively short - from spring to the middle of summer. The trusses of Largeleaf Pelargonias is of 30-60 cm height, the stems are vertical. The leaves are rugose, hairy with
jagged edge.
Large-leaf Pelargonias
Ivy-leaf Pelargonias (Pelargonium peltatum) are also called leaning. The blooms and trusses
are smaller, but of light, bright colours, sometimes bicolour. They blossom very lavishly.
Palergonias are sowed in a farm in the first or second week. Striped Pelargonias
(Pelargonium zonale) ‘Cherry’ are sowed in the second week of the year (on the 11th-17th of
January), it is replanted on the 6th week (on the 8th-14th of February), there are 264 seeds in a box,
106 boxes for sowing, the number of necessary to grwo up boxes is 91.
Striped Pelargonias ‘Cherry’
Palergonias are grown in a farm in the pots of 10 - 12 cm diameter and realized in May.
Primrose (Primula L) belong to Primulaceae plants family. Native primrose is grown in a
farm (P. vulgare Hons).
Multicolourful Native Primroses
Primroses are reproduced in seeds. The seeds are sowed in August. The seeds germinate very
quickly. When sowing during summer season, after sowing the boxes are transported to fridges for 7
days, because the germination process must take place at the temperature not higher than 15 0 C .
Primroses are grown in peat substratum, in cassettes placing 6 units in each.
Primroses in cassettes
Touch-me-not (Impatiens L) belong to Balsaminaceae plants family. Busy Lizzies
(Impatiens walleriana Hook. f.) (5 – 8 cm) are grown in a farm, they are low (15-45 cm), branchy
and groundling. This specy has fleshy branchy stems and leaves. The leaves are lanceolate, with cut
edges, usually green or dark red, bronze. They grow quickly. The blooms are of 2 - 4 cm diameter,
irregular, simple and double, of different colours white, rose, violet, red, speckled and bicoloured),
single or double, individual or concentrated in trusses.
New Guinea Touch-me-nots (Impatiens New Guinea) are fleshy, of 45 cm height. The
stems are juicy, the leaves are bright (from bronze to bright green), soft and taper. The blooms are
large, larkspur, open, flat, of white, violet and yellowish rosy shades.
New Guinea Touch-me-nots ‘Harmony‘
Poinsettias (Euphorbia pulherima) belong to Euphorbiaceae plants family. The real blooms
of Poinsettias are very tiny, greenish yellow. The bracts are rose, white, red and yellowish. The
leaves are large, solid, on long stalks. Poinsettias were started growing in the 20s of last century.
Recently, many different species are derived. They differ by their period of blooming, size and
shape of trusses and leaves, colour and number of bracts and their arrangement.
The following decorative groundling Poinsettias with red monocolourful bracts are grown in
Roundstone greenhouses: ‘Cortez Fire’, ‘Cortez Electric Fire’, ‘Millenium’, ‘Prestige’, ‘Freedom
Red’.
‘Freedom Red’
Species with dark red bracts: ‘Sanora (Red Elf)’, ‘Red Diamond’.
White, yellow and rose species were grown in a farm several years before, however,
recently they are not grown any more because they are not marketable.
The planting material for Poinsettias is brought from Germany (rooted in peat ‘Jiffy‘
tablets). At the end of July (in the 29th – 30th week), they are planted into ‘Billund Pottter‘ pots of
13 cm diameter, filled with peat substratum.
The pots are placed in a greenhouse on growing tables next to each other, after 4 weeks the
tops are taken away from the flowers by leaving 4 – 5 leaves from the bottom, then they branch well
and grow many rosettes.
Formed multistem plant
The grown plants are separated (planted more rarely). At the beginning they are planted at
smaller distances and when the leaves start touching each other, they are planted at larger distances
in order not to touch with each other and get enough light from all sides. It is approximately 25 cm
between the pots.
Suitable temperature is important for plants growing and development. Optimal temperature
in a greenhouse in growing period must be 18 – 22 degrees. When the bracts gain some colour,
higher than 25 degrees temperature is maintained in a greenhouse, however, it should not fall below
15 degrees, because then the plants start throwing the leaves.
Bracts of Poinsettias in colouring process
Poinsettias are fertilized with complex ‘Hydroflex‘ (N: P: K: Mg 10: 11: 32: 3:) and calcium
nitric fertilizers, pH 5.8 – 6.2 solution. The flowers are fertilized very carefully, because from too
high salts concentration the leaves start curving. The most dangerous vermins are whiteflies.
Sale time starts in the first week of December, the flowers are placed into plastic bags and packed
into cardboard boxes in 6 units.
In 2008, up to 140 thousand Poinsettias were grown in a farm and 150 thousand in 2011.
Pansy (Viola wittrockiana Gams) belong to Violaceae plants family. They are annual,
biennial or perennial grass plants. There are known about 400 species, a wide range of subspecies
and breeds of pansies spread on all Earth. Pansies bloom early in spring and at the beginning of
summer, when annual flowers do not bloom and perennial flowers bloom little. Pansies are grown in
Lithuania as biennial flowers and in Scandinavia and England as annual flowers. Trusses grow up to
10-25 cm depending on the breed. Vertical or swelling stems are very branchy and lavishly leafy.
Lower leaves are oval, heart-shaped, egg-shaped, upper leaves are oblong lanceolate. The blooms
are single and large, of 3.5-7 cm diameter, multicolour, bicolour and tricolour. The following groups
of draught resistant pansies of early blossom have a particular value: Early Pirnas (Viola
wittrockiana Pirnaer), winter early Large-blossom Pansies (Viola wittrockiana grandiflora hiemalis)
and similar. Pansies are sowed in a farm in the 27th-33rd week of the year, i.e. in July- August. The
germ in 10-12 days. After 3 - 4 weeks the sprouts are pricked into small boxes or into separate pots.
Pansies in boxes
The roots of Pansies are strong and lavish, thus, also blooming trusses can be replanted.
Pansies are realized in a farm from January.
Pansies prepared for realization
About 200 thousand pansies are grown up in a farm.
Cinerarias (Pericallis) belong to Asteraceae plants family. They originated from Canary
Islands. Its common name is Cineraria. In the United Kingdom the plants are considered annual and
they are reproduced in seeds every year. The following species are grown: Florist's Cineraria
(earlier was Hybrid Cineraria) - Pericallis cruenta (Masson ex L.Hér.). The plants bloom in blue,
rose, red, violet, kirch, rosily red and white colours.
Florist's Cineraria - Pericallis cruenta
Madeira Groundsel (Pericallis aurita) is also grown in a farm (Pic. 3.2.1.20.). It is very
popular in the United Kingdom.
The height of plants is very different, from miniature (20 cm.) to high (40 cm.). The most
popular in the United Kingdom are miniature species. Madeira Groundsel are reproduced in a farm
in sprouts which are brought from Denmark. The plants are planted in a farm in December into peat
tablets Jiffy.
Sprouts of Madeira Groundsel and their planting
The grown up plants (after 3 weeks) are planted into the pots of 12.5-15 cm diameter filled
with light and fertile substratum. Suitable watering is important, because the plants do not tolerate
too high humidity and its shortage. The plants suffer from whiteflies, thrips and spidery mites.

knowledge to solve simple practical problems.
Students must identify all indicated in work description flowers. Data table is provided in a
notebook or on A4 format paper sheets by writing down the topic of work, goals and task.
Students must know the decorative and biological characteristics of gathered greenhouse flowers
and their botanical names.
Theoretical Part of Practicumum
Greenhouse flowers take an important place in the assortment of gathered flowers because they
are most widely used for compositions making and create an impression of a festival, by
expressing the idea of composition even by single blooms.
Greenhouse gathered flowers are basically originated in warm countries, thus, they don‘t grow in
Lithuania outside or spend there only rest period. Most of them are short-day plants, thus they
blossom in autumn, winter and spring. The development cycle of these plants is determined by
bioecological surrounding factors which existed in their native country and which had been
maintained in a long ontogenesis of this specy development. However, it can be changed by
applying different growing technologies. For example, by shortening the length of the day by
using artificial means, you can make the chryzanthemum blossoming all year around and vice
versa: Yellow Dusty Sim will blossom all year around and will grow up qualitative blooms if
during their blossoming period we will give them additional light this way making conditions of
long day.

Theoretical Part of Practicumum
In different premises grown greenhouse plants are attributed to pot plants group. These are the
plants with decorative blooms and leaves (sometimes fruit), distinguishing by an interesting habit
(external pose).
It is difficult to define a limit between pot greenhouse flowers and flowers in beautiful blossom
grown in rooms. According different classifications, they can be attributed to one or another
group.

Students must know the decorative and biological characteristics of room flowers in beautiful
blossom and their botanical names.
Theoretical Part of Practicumum
Most of plants in beautiful blossom are of tropic and subtropic. Blooms give to these plants a
unique beauty. Some plants bloom many times in their life and the others bloom one time: breed
fruit, seeds and die (Agavas). The blooms of some plants form in the axils of leaves or in the tops
of sprouts and the blooms of the other plants form on a bark of a stem (Cercidiphyllum), near
branches (Fig, Caco Tree). The size of the bloom is assessed according the diameter of a crown.
Almost all pot plants in beautiful blossom grown in premises bloom or at least can bloom.

Theoretical Part of Practicumum
Bromelian (Bromeliaceae Juss.) pants are named in the memory of Swedish doctor Olaf Bromel.
1700 genuses are attributed to Bromelian (Bromeliaceae) family. European people for the first
time heard about these strange plants from Columbus, when he sailed to the New World for the
second time (in 1493). Most of Bromelian plants grow in wet forest. They are epyphites, which
only clip by roots and absorb nutritiants through teh leaves from rain and dew (echmeyas,
bilbergias, neoregelias, frysias, nydularias, etc.).

TOPIC: SUCCULENTS (4 hours)
1. The Aim: To get acquainted with bioecological characteristics and growing pecularities of
succulents.
2. The Goals:
1. To identify the cactuses and thick-leaved room plants.
2. To know the botanical names of plants.
3. To evaluate their morphological and bioecological pecularities.
3.For the performance of Practical Work, the innovative methods are used: demonstration,
identification, observation, analysis
4. Assessment of Practical Work: students must perform the indicated in practical work tasks.
The achievements assessment is threshold: 5 (satisfactory enough) – tasks are performed poorly,
knowledge satisfy minimal requirements. Satisfactory tasks performing quality. Applies
knowledge to solve simple practical problems.
Crediting and Evalaution of Work
Students must identify all indicated in work description flowers. Data table is provided in a
notebook or on A4 format paper sheets by writing down the topic of work, goals and task.
Students must know the decorative and biological characteristics of succulents and their
botanical names.
Theoretical Part of Practicumum
Succulents grwo in dry areas with small amount of falls. They cummulate water reserves in their
structures. According the arrangement of water cummulating structures, stem, leave and root
succulents are distinguished.
Pic. 1. Shapes of leaves and stems of succulents
1. Firm, thin but fleshy with spined edges. 2. Thick, fleshy with round leaves; 3.
Column-shaped, spined leafless stems; 4. Branchy, fleshy stems with rudimentary
leaves. (Success with House Plants, 2008)
Plants not only cummulate water, but also save the moisture by regulating its evaporization (teh
cells of epidermis are thickened, plants are hairy, covered with wax, etc.) (Pic. 1). Most
succulents have clear rest and growing periods.

PRACTICAL WORK No 10
TOPIC: ROOM BULBOUS PLANTS
1. The Aim: To identify bulbous room plants and to know their jų bioecological characteristics.
2. The Goals:
1. To identify bulbous room plants.
2. To know the botanical names of plants.
3. To evaluate their morphological and bioecological pecularities.
3.For the performance of Practical Work, the innovative methods are used: demonstration,
identification, observation, analysis
4. Assessment of Practical Work: students must perform the indicated in practical work tasks.
The achievements assessment is threshold: 5 (satisfactory enough) – tasks are performed poorly,
knowledge satisfy minimal requirements. Satisfactory tasks performing quality. Applies
knowledge to solve simple practical problems.
Crediting and Evalaution of Work
Students must identify all indicated in work description flowers. Data table is provided in a
notebook or on A4 format paper sheets by writing down the topic of work, goals and task.
Students must know the decorative and biological characteristics of flowers and their botanical
names.
Theoretical Part of Practicumum
Bulbous plants grown inside can be conditionally classified into two groups: these are perennial
bulbous plants, grown as interior plants (Agapants, Eucharis, Nerines, Haemanthus, etc.) and
bloomed outside bulbous flowers (hyacinths, narcissuses, tulips, snowflakes, Muscari, etc.),
which are used for a short-term interior decoration usually in early spring.
Home bulbous plants are commonly originated in tropical and coller regions. Most of them have
a clear rest period, during which we water the plants less or don‘t water at all. By regulating the
rest period, period of blossom can also be affected. When replanting these plants, the roots must
be saved which are very sensitive. Bulbs are planted skin-deep or even on the land surface.
