Japanese lantern plant care tips
Now that you have planted your Chinese lantern plants, it’s important to care for them properly.
- Planting time: It is recommended that Chinese lantern plants be planted after the last frost in springtime. However, if you live in warm climates or have a greenhouse, then they can be planted out anytime during spring as long as there is some warmth in the soil.
- Soil preparation: Prepare an area with well-draining soil and mix one part compost with four parts topsoil before planting your Chinese lantern plant. This makes sure that the roots of your plant will get all the nutrients they need for healthy growth without becoming waterlogged or rotting from too much moisture at any point during their development process.
- Planting depth: When planting your Chinese lanterns into containers or pots, make sure that each bulb has about two inches between itself and where its leaves meet its stem before covering them up with dirt so they can start growing freely without being hindered by other physical barriers such as rocks or twigs sticking out from above ground level (which could easily happen if these things are present). If this happens after planting has already occurred then simply remove them gently using pliers while still being careful not to damage any roots underneath! You do not want to leave anything behind because these pieces may hinder growth later down road when trying someday soon probably next year actually hopefully sooner rather than later maybe next week hopefully tomorrow but don’t count on it yet definitely sometime soonish perhaps maybe maybe possibly possibly no definitely yes definitely yes certainly absolutely positively surely definitely maybe possibly possibly maybe never probably never ever
