Cultivation methods and precautions of Fritillaria odorifera

Cultivation method of Fritillaria odorifera

Soil requirements for Fritillaria

The requirements of Fritillaria for soil are relatively high. The field soil for planting Fritillaria floridulus should be loose, fertile, organic-rich, well-drained sandy soil. For potted Fritillaria floridulus, a mixed matrix of equal amounts of humus, garden soil and sand can be used.

Temperature requirements of Fritillaria

Fritillaria is shade-tolerant and cold-resistant, so it needs low-temperature treatment. It is recommended to keep the temperature between 5 and 9 degrees Celsius. The growth temperature of Fritillaria thunbergii is 7-20℃. When the Fritillaria is dormant in summer, the bulbs can be collected and stored at a temperature of about 13°C.

Precautions for cultivating Fritillaria

Common diseases of Fritillaria odoratum and their control

Common diseases of Fritillaria cirrhosa include rust and gray mold. Rust disease mainly occurs on the back of leaves, petioles, and base of stems of the Fritillaria odorata. Symptoms include the appearance of many brown spore groups. In severe cases, the Fritillaria odorata will wither and die early. The main method for preventing and controlling rust is to strengthen management and remove stumps in time. To prevent the occurrence of rust, 1000 times diluted thiophanate-methyl and new lipid film can be mixed and sprayed before the disease occurs. The symptoms of gray mold are the appearance of water-soaked spots on the green leaves and leaf tips of the Fritillaria. In severe cases, the leaf will wither and die. The method to prevent and control gray mold is to spray a mixture of 500 times diluted mancozeb and new lipid film.
