How to Care for Dicentra Plants

Caring for dicentra plants is fun and easy. It begins at the planting stage. Dicentra bulbs come in different sizes. For bountiful produce, sow them according to size. That is, smaller bulbs should be planted in pots while the larger ones are ideal for growing in the garden.

Choose an excellent planting position in your compound to give the plant the best-growing environment. Consider adding nitrous fertilizer once in a while to have fuller foliage.  Although these flowers can thrive in full sun, it is best to plant them in cooler places such as under the shade to be bountiful throughout the season.
