Features of the reproduction of the Chubudnik

The landing of the pot can be carried out in two ways: stalling or disembarking seeds. The simplest and most popular way is the shilling. Young shoots cut off the bush mainly in the summer months, choosing those branches that managed to partially wore. Delete cuttings from a maternal plant is best in a period of flowering or before it starts. So that the shoots released the roots, they need to be transferred to the unheated greenhouse or an open bed, prepared in advance by last fall. The so-called "heel" should be present on the transplant cutlery, which is a kind of protrusion on wood. It is also desirable that on the branch there was at least one bud, ready to open soon. Plant cutlets should be in the soil consisting of peat, rubble and sand. So far before planting, it is necessary to moisten well, as well as to pour a fungicide.

The transplantable escape needs to be released from the lower leaves, and then immerse in the soil so that it is inclined relative to the Earth by 35-40 °. The remaining leaves should not touch the soil. After that, the sprout is covered with a glass can or transparent polyethylene package. In the reproduction of the Chubuschnik, it is important to provide the plant daily moisturizing, which consists in abundant irrigation of the shoot of the spray gun.

Sometimes the Chubuschnik breeds and seeds, but this type of cultivation is acceptable only for species plants. With seed reproduction, varietal signs of culture may be lost, so the hybrids are not similarly bred at all. In addition, the plant grown from seed blooms only 5 years after landing.

For those who are interested in this method of breeding, some of its features should be known:

1. Seed seeds can be seed in spring, autumn, as well as in the winter months. In this case, stratify the seeds of culture is not necessary.
2. Planting seeds in winter is carried out directly into the snowmalls. In the autumn and spring grain deepen into the ground, in advance prepared pits.
3. The depth of planting seeds of the Chubusnik is 30 cm. After immersing the grains into the soil, the earth needs to be covered with branches, spruce vegetable or dry hay. In this form, landing is left until spring. As soon as the garden melts the snow, branches or grass can be removed.
4. In the spring of the seeds of the Chubudnik, it is customary to sow in the greenhouse. For 1 m² of area, approximately 1 g of sowing material is planted.
5. Seed germination can be accelerated by soaking them in the epin solution. Material is first folded into the tissue bag, and then immersed in the named solution for no time. Then the seeds are transferred to peat for 2 days.

Planting the Chubuschik in Open Ground and Plant Care

So that the plant has taken root in a new place and pleased with abundant bloom from year to year, one should listen to some recommendations for the cultivation of this culture:

1. Most of the varieties of the Chubusnik bear a light shadension, but the most magnificent bloom is given only if they grow on a well-lit place. Choosing the territory for the flower beds, give preference to those sites where many sunlight falls. In the shaded places, the Chubuschnik will also bloom, but this process can start much later, and the buds themselves will be small and unpleasant. At the growing in the shadow of the Chubuschnik, the appearance of foliage is also worse, it becomes smaller, thinner and loses brightness.
2. Some varieties of culture are quite unpretentious to the soil, but most of the varieties still love fertile and nutritious soils. The soil for the pot can be wet, but also stagnation of water in the ground This plant does not like very much.
3. In the hot summer months, mainly in June and in July, culture must be regularly water. The amount of water is determined at the rate of 20 liters per bush.
4. Caring for the canobusnik involves both periodic fertilizers in the soil. For season 1, the plant must be picked up at least twice. For these purposes, organic fertilizers are used: a borologist and manure. The feeders are carried out until mid-August. Among other things, annually the soil around the potochnik is recommended to saturate minerals. Here you can use superphosphate, urea or potassium sulfur. When the bushes are flashing, there should be a small amount of wood ash.
5. With a group landing of the pots, you need to observe the distance of 0.7-0.8 m between the individual bushes. If the culture has a very empty crown, it is better to increase this distance to 1.5 m.
6. Transplanted cuttings, like young bushes of the plant, it is better to warm up for the winter. For such a goal, straw, hay, husk fitting. In the snowy winter you can simply cover the landing of a big breast snow.
7. The Chubuschnik is quite resistant to plant diseases and pests, but sometimes he may be amazed or a spider tick. If there is a similar problem, the bushes, like the Earth around them, you need to process insecticides.

Pruning Chubuschnik

The Chubuschnik grows quickly enough and to keep it in a tidy form, it is necessary to periodically cut the culture. Some varieties of the plant cut up to 2 times a year. If you do not spend timely pruning, the shrub begins to bloom worse, the inflorescences themselves are minced and losing a decorative look.

The main branches of the Chubushnik are cut into 1-2 strong kidneys, but weak shoots are removed completely, and they do it at any time of the year. When the growing season occurs, a large number of new shoots appear on the plant located at the main branches. At the bottom of the crown also appears several new strong processes. When trimming, all weak branches are completely removed, and strongly shortening so that they harmoniously fit into the shape of the bush. If the shrub is too high, it can also be shortened at the top.

A year later, the old branches are swinging, they are cut together with new weak shoots. In about October, a new increase grows up to 1 m in length and will acquire in small branches, which the next season will produce inflorescences.

Too thickened and empty crowns should be reversed, removing ¼ of all old branches.
