Alstroemeria is a go to crop for many micro farmers providing wedding florists that are sustainability conscious. Plant them in sun-warmed soil, water well and soon you’ll get flashes of shoots pushing skyward — then step back, secateurs in hand, to harvest armloads of glowing blooms that share the pleasure of gardening itself.It’s that dynamic conversation that defines horticultural art — and which turns backyard plots into living galleries of the arts. Root knot nematodes, which are rare, cause tubers to become misshapen and retarded; crop rotate by planting marigolds, or solarise the soil over summer to kill larvae.
