Garden canna grows in tropical and subtropical regions and therefore prefers a warm, moist, sunny and well-ventilated environment.
The plant loves moist soil, and some varieties can even be planted in water.
When and how to plant cannas
Cannas are a tropical plant that is afraid of frost, so the rhizome can be planted in open ground only after frost.
The soil should warm up to +10-12 degrees.
Experienced flower growers advise planting the plant no earlier than May, and before that, carefully inspect all tubers for diseases.
How to care
When growing canna in open ground, it is watered on dry days at least 3 times a week, abundantly, with warm water.
Cold water causes rotting of the root system.
When kept in a pot, watering frequency varies from 4 to 6 times a week. With active growth and rapid flowering, plants need increased nutrition.
Can cannas be grown in a pot at home
In a pot Spring germination of potted specimens is identical to germination of plants for planting on the site.
Pots with indoor canna can not only be placed on a well-lit windowsill for germination, but also covered with polyethylene on top, simulating greenhouse conditions.
