To plant cultivated species of bells, it is necessary to select an open and well-lit place.
Wild bells need a little shading, which they get in the forest.
By the way, it is in the shade that the bell flower lasts much longer.
How to grow bluebells correctly
Bell seeds are so small that they practically do not need to be buried.
It is enough to scatter them over the surface of the soil, and sprinkle them on top with a thin layer of calcined river sand and pour water from a finely dispersed sprayer.
Shoots usually appear after 2 weeks.
How to care for a bluebell in a pot
Experienced gardeners recommend spraying the plant with settled water at room temperature twice a day to maintain optimal humidity levels.
If constant spraying of the house bell does not help, you can place the pot with the plant in a tray filled with wet expanded clay.
What to plant next to bluebells
Many bluebells tolerate partial shade well and get along with ferns, mountain weeds, astilbes, Rogersias, and hosts.
White varieties of bells are combined with any roses, pink varieties are combined with purple, red and pink varieties, and purple and blue varieties are combined with purple-lilac, yellow, peach and orange varieties.
