Water:
Fritillary requires balanced moisture, preferring neither too dry nor overly humid conditions. It thrives with weekly watering and goes dormant during dry seasons, which decreases its water needs. Originating from moderate rainfall regions, fritillary is an outdoor bulb plant.
Fertilize:
Fritillary requires balanced nutrition fertilizers bi-weekly during growth, with high-phosphorus types before blooming. Moderate application is crucial to avoid bulb damage. Adjust feeding frequency with seasonal changes and water before fertilizing to prevent root burn. Use gloves as bulbs may irritate skin.
Pruning:
Fritillary features bell-shaped flowers and needs minimal pruning, ideally in early to late spring. Focus on removing dead stems and spent flowers with clean tools to improve air circulation and reduce disease risk, promoting healthier growth. Consult horticultural sources for optimal techniques.
Propagation:
Fritillary is propagated by dividing its tubers during dormancy. Plant in well-draining soil with sufficient space, ensuring to avoid damage to the delicate bulbs. Ideal conditions include partial shade and organic-rich soil for strong root development and growth.
