Crokus care does not require much effort. In the spring after the appearance of the shoots, they need to be hidden and loosened. They practically do not need watering, since in early spring, after melting the snow melting moisture reserves in the soil, enough. But if the winter was low-blue, and the spring is dry, then watering is still needed. With a lack of moisture, crocuses will be low. But in the summer, in a period of rest, they do not need moisture. If the soil in which crocuses grow is well seasoned with organicism, then they are fed once when the snow still lies. Scatter the full mineral fertilizer and wood ash along its surface. You can grow crocuses in one place without digging them out for 4 to 5 years. But when the corms becomes crowded in the ground, the flowers begin to laugh and the plants need to be planted. Crocuses are dug in July. The bulbs are dried and stored in a dry cool room for two months, and when it comes, they are planted in the ground.
