Methods breeding jonicopy tubeat home
There are three basic methods of reproduction of this plant.
Goggonal reproduction of tube from seeds
As we mentioned above, the seeds of Begonia are small enough and they are not so easy to get. To do this, it is necessary to make artificial pollination of Begonia flowers. How to do - With the help of a special tassel you need to collect pollen from male flowers and very carefully transfer their female pestles. When the seeds are already in your hands, you can start sowing them into the leaf soil. Optimal time for this is December or January. Gardeners argue that in this way you will get in the summer lush blooming begonias.
After the seeds are highlighted, a pot or any other container where the begonias will bring, it is necessary to cover with glass or film and put in the room where the air temperature is 22-25 ° C. It will help protect the top layer of the substrate from cutting, and the seeds are good to germinate. Two weeks later, you can see the first shoots, however during this time you will need to moisten the soil several times and for a while, turning the glass or film to avoid the formation of mold.
When a pair of seedy leaves appear on the shootings, they can be peaked according to a circuit 2 x 2 cm at a temperature of 20-22 ° C. After picking the plant you need to cover with glass or film. Such pickles will need to be carried out only three times. Each time you need to prepare a new landweight, consisting of foliage, turf, peat and sand. The second picking should be carried out according to the scheme 4 x 5 cm, and the third - 6 x 7 cm. As the plant grows, when the fifth sheet appears, it must be sprayed with retartordant. This tool will help begonia to keep her beauty and not be tall and unstable.
When the leaves are closed, it is possible to plant a tongue-in-pot begonia to a tall of 11-13 cm in advance prepared soil. It should have a leafy land, bone flour and a dried dry cow manure. Each saponian saponian must be with a lore earth. After transplantation, the plant needs to be well and put in the shadow. After about 135-150 days after this, Begonia will bloom.
Benching breeding of tubers
To multiply Begonia Tube at home in this way, you need before the start of frosts, and better at the end of August, without cutting the stalk and leaves of the plant, dig it so that it turns out to be a big com on the rhizome, and put it on drying in a shady protected from rain A place that is well ventilated. From November to February with the tubers to do something useless, because they are in this period at rest.
Gardeners argue that in one autumn month all the nutrients of the leaf of begonias, which, due to lack of light, shave will come to the tuber and kidney is formed on it. When this happens, tubers can be transferred in the containers filled with sand and peat. They must be put in cool place where the air temperature is not higher than 14 ° C. On the winter period, Begonia's tubering will need to be covered with a paper, gauze or polyethylene film.
In February, tubers can already be planted in flower pots. To do this, they need to be removed and cut into two parts. On the top there will be kidneys. It also needs to be cut into several parts. Their quantity will depend on the number of kidney. On each part for landing, there should be 3-4, that is, you will have 2-4 parts for landing. The lower part of the tuber needs to be planted separately, it will already produce roots in the ground. Sections of sections on the club gardeners are recommended to treat charcoal.

Goggonal reproduction of tube
To get begonia seedlings in this way, it is necessary to cut their top with well-developed plants - 6-10 cm long cuttings with several leaves. It must be left on it. The lower sheets must be removed, and the place of the cut is sprayed with charcoal. The resulting cutlets can now be planted in the sand, then pour it out and cover it with a glass can, which periodically need to raise. If this is not done, the stalks will just perish from excessive humidity.
After 2-3 weeks, when the stalk stops the roots, it can be transplanted into nutrient soil. After that, it is transplanted into the nutrient soil. It has one big advantage over the two previous ones - the resulting plant will retain the external data of the parent plant.
