Two experiments with ahimenes planting material:
Experiment 1.
- And why does the planting material of Ahimeza, so expensive?! They breed almost as weed! She was indignant. - and perfectly boring cuttings, and rhizomas that even grow on stems in some species and varieties. Not only that - even if the rhizome is broken, from each tiny scales a new plant can appear!
Here is the last moment I was interested, I wanted to check in practice.
What is me ahimems (species or varietary?), I have no idea. In March, he took one small rhizome and revealed on scales, laid them on the surface of the light air and moisture-permeable substrate and slightly poured a layer of soil. The soil maintained in a wet state. The appearance of shoots did not make himself wait. The seedlings climbed a thick brush, but were such a crumbotone that not only watered, but also sprayed them were scary - moistened through the pallet. At the beginning they grew slowly, but then the pot filled. Very weak died in a common pot. There are five young plants, which seeded in two small pots (12 cm in diameter). By the autumn was convinced: it was better to grow in the first. But in the end, everyone bloomed. The flowering peak would be much earlier, but the long-term abnormal heat in July-September was prevented. Plants with already proposed boutons stopped in growth. "Woke up" as follows only by the end of September-beginning of October, and here they have shown themselves in all its glory.
I heard that I did not welcome the reproduction of the Achimensov scales, they breed them preferably with stalling. It believes that plants will grow out of the scales, which in the first year will be weak, will not give abundant flowering.
Based on personal experience, I would not agree with this. At the peak of vegetation, the plants were quite strong, they gave many side shoots, and on peace I sent them forcibly in mid-November forced circumstances. A little excavating the soil, found that each escape gave three or four rhizomes (not small - medium), while the cuttings planted at the beginning of the summer - only one or two rhizas (though, a little more important).
Perhaps, and even certainly not with all the varieties (and maybe with the species) Achimesis, this experiment can be repeated so successfully.
Experiment 2. By sending his ahimenes on the rest in November, I cut off the tops from them with the fundamental numerous buds. Put into the water and forgot the weeks for two or three. And when I discovered that it happened to them, "said.
On the site of the boutons formed new rhizas: on every cutlery almost the top ten! By the way, the roots on the cuttings were also successfully formed, weak, truth.
Next year, I will definitely try to spend this experiment with your other Achimens. What if it turns out? Can anyone have thoughts about this? I ask for the discussion of this post.
