Galanthus woronowii aka Green Snowdrop

Taxonomy

Genus Galanthus Family Amaryllidaceae Order Asparagales Class Liliopsida Phylum Tracheophyta
Galanthus woronowii, also known as the green snowdrop or Woronow's snowdrop, is a bulbous plant that is native to north-east Turkey and the west and central Caucasus. It is often mistaken for Galanthus ikariae and Galanthus platyphyllus due to their similar broad green leaves and a single green mark on the inner tepals. This perennial bulb reaches a height of approximately 20cm and has narrow, grey-green leaves that are tightly wrapped around each other at the base. The plant produces solitary, nodding white flowers in late winter and early spring, characterized by a bright yellow-green ovary and a pair of yellow-green marks at the tip of the inner petals. The leaves of Galanthus woronowii are "supervolute," meaning that one leaf tightly clasps around the other within the bud and usually remains like this as the plant grows. These leaves typically measure between 13-25 cm in length, occasionally reaching up to 41 cm, and are about 13-21 mm wide, although they may vary in width.

How to care for Green Snowdrop

Difficulty

Caring for Green Snowdrop is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Water

Green Snowdrop should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Green Snowdrop loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Dormancy

During the cold period, it is common for Green Snowdrop to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.

Toxicity

There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.

Fertilizer

Repotting the Green Snowdrop should be done either when it has doubled in size or on a yearly basis, whichever occurs sooner. Fresh potting soil with all the required nutrients, refreshed annually, will provide the plant with all the necessary sustenance, making the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that plants receive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
