“Poinsettia, amaryllis, hyacinth – so you get the spirit of christmas flowers to thrive”
“the christmas rose, iskonvaljer, amaryllis, novemberkaktus, the christmas rose and hyacinth. Despite the fact that it is in the middle of darkest december so blooming as never before. But the how takes care of you all these beautiful flowers, really? Gardeners Bosse Rappne at Ulriksdal castle gardens give their best tips so that the flowers last until the påska.”
“– Yes, christmas is very traditionsfylld, especially with the flowers, ” says Bosse Rappne where he stands surrounded by a colorful mix of our most beloved christmas flowers.”
“the Poinsettia is Bosse Rappne a little extra heart.”
“– the Poinsettia came to Sweden in the 1960s and then began my parents grow it, ” says Bosse Rappne. From the beginning there was here the shrubs from Mexico. The poinsettia does not tolerate drafts or that it will be cold so be sure to get the elements properly when you carry it home from the store. It is incredibly easy to become stressed and lose leaves. When you water you should let it dry up easily between waterings. Lift the pot rather than to feel with your finger so you know when it is time for a new splash of water. “
“always Pour away the abundance of water so krukväxten not be standing in the water. The roots need both water and oxygen, and the wet, so does not reach the oxygen.”
“Julbegonian is an old classic julväxt. It was common in the past but perhaps not as common today. “
“– in the Past we had the heat source inside the room, with a wood stove or fireplace, but today, we have in place the element that sits right under the window and then it will be much drier and warmer climates and the like not really christmas flowers was, ” says Bosse Rappne. So it is ideal if you have a patio or covered balcony or that it is a little cooler. Many of our christmas flowers would love to have it a bit cooler as amaryllis, azalea, lily of the valley, christmas rose and hyacinth. Then they keep much longer but they can handle themselves quite well for short periods of time when you have it a little warmer at home.”
“A clever trick to get the christmas flowers was to bring them cool before you go from home in the morning. Then they keep much longer.”
“– Ardisia is perhaps not so common. This is growing from year to year so it can become like a small tree after a few years. The decorative red berries are not toxic and they remain for a very long time. When they finally fall of the so-blooming plant with small white flowers. This bärringen moves upwards, where after it grows, ” says Bosse Rappne.”
“Azaleas are a real superväxt to have in the winter. When the buds have begun to come forward and show the color properly need almost no light. It can nicely stand on the coffee table and the flower in 5-6 weeks and the only thing you need to do is to water it so clear and pick off the ugly flowers,”
“– Azaleas have small buds below the flowers struck out, ” says Bosse Rappne. So take away the flowers that have become unsightly, so will the next and strikes out.”
“in the Past, it was said that you should water the azaleas by immersing the whole pot in water and when it ended the bubble was soaked. But it only works if it is in a crock. The plastic pot so, soon becomes drenched. Lift the pot and feel if it is light before watering, then it will be good.”
“– Many people are unfortunately allergic to hyacinths, but I think that you can have in any case one, ” says Bosse Rappne. There are some variations and, more generally, one can say that the larger the onion is the denser becomes the most. “
“the Variant multiflora consists of several small onions, or slices of onions, and they will not be as frequent but there will be very many blomstänglar.”
“– When hyacinten blossomed over you can cut the scape and attend to it as a regular houseplant. Give it some nutrition so the leaves grow, and eventually have the onion charged with new energy for the next year and then start the fade down and it is time to set aside it at a cool and dry place, just as you do with amaryllisen.”
“Remember to be frugal with vattningen as long as amaryllisen or hyacinten knocked out. Waters it then becomes the cells of the agm so large and weak, and then the stem fold. Once knocked out, you can water again because the flowers require liquid.”
“– Julrosen or Helleborus as it is called is our only Swedish julblomma. If it is planted out in the garden can actually look up and flower in the middle of the snow if the winter is mild, ” says Bosse Rappne.”
“as soon As the frost released and it become a little warmer out so you can actually plant this in the garden if you saved it in the winter.”
“Julkaktus or novemberkaktusen have been popular for a long time. But they can be very old, but it is also very easy to take cuttings of it. “
“– It is just to pinch off at a point and put down in the water, ” says Bosse Rappne. When can a cactus live on in the centuries.”
“– Liljekonvaljerna need a kylperiod to form blomanlagen, that is why they are called iskonvalj. They have simply been put on hold in order to operate on them so they can flower at christmas, ” says Bosse Rappne. Incredibly delicious, these watches will be really happy to see.”
“– Other plants that listen to christmas is orchideer, ” says Bosse Rappne. The amazing venusskon want to stand in a bright window, and preferably a little bit warm in room temperature, then thrive the best. Cymbidium, however, want it a bit cooler, 12-15 degrees, as it can be in a conservatory. Then they can blossom incredibly long.”
“–you should bear in mind with plants over the winter is that it is so incredibly little light and then drink the very little they do not have the energy to fill up with fluid, ” says Bosse Rappne. As soon as you watered so look for in ytterkrukan after 20-30 minutes, and pour off the excess water so the plant is not left standing with wet roots. Then the lack of oxygen and it is not feeling the plants good. “
