For example, it is often a landing of decorative viburnum produce near Ryabina or Barbaris. Single landing also has a place to be, but it is worth paying attention to the overall style of the site, in the framework of which Kalina should fit.

In addition, it is in the spring that it is advisable to reproduce the decorative viburnum reproduction.
Soil preparation for landing
- If it is planned to plant a single bush, a hole should be created, the dimensions of which are approximately 60x60x80 cm. Immediately after the pit was bursting, an abundant watering of the site should be made. Attention should be focused on large volumes of water, as it is an extremely important aspect that concerns the active growth of decorative viburnum.
- It is important to keep in mind that, depending on the place where the landing is made, a certain amount of water is necessary. For example, if the landing will occur on the hill, it should be used as much water.
- Now it is necessary to equip drainage at the bottom of the pit. Drainage is necessary so that water in the roots is not stored (stagnation negatively affects the development of the plant in general). Directly, the drainage itself often consists of stones, wood bark and similar materials.
- Next, you need to fill the pit with a nutrient mixture, which is also necessary to maintain the active growth of decorative viburnum. As for the components themselves, we are talking about peat, humid, ash, as well as old leaves and garden soil. Immediately after fertilizer, you need to pour the pit again. It is also necessary to keep in mind that all the above events are the best solution for planting the plant. It is practically a guarantee that decorative Kalina will begin an active growth.
If everything is performed exactly as indicated in the material, it is possible to be sure that the decorative Kalina will show rapid growth, even if the surrounding situation does not better affect the development of vegetation.
It is worth saying that in the end, the owners remain a landing of viburnum, but this is not so difficult as all past actions.
Features of planting decorative viburnum
- For a start in the already created pit, it is necessary to make minimal recesses and plants. At the same time, the most important thing is the shrimp root of about 5 cm.
- After that, the plain planting of the plant with garden soil is performed, and then watering. Ultimately, we will have a small bush with a damp soil around. At the same time, it is necessary to lay out the mulch from old leaves, sawdust and needles on the wet soil. This will definitely give a positive impetus for the active development of the plant.

Care for viburnum "Bulderezh"
Despite the specifics of the landing and some other questions, attention should be paid to care for decorative viburnum. Without a decent care, it is absolutely impossible to be sure that the plant will actively develop.
We have already talked about the fact that Kalina's care is a comprehensive event, and the owners will have to spend a lot of time to satisfy all the requirements of the plant.
At the same time, it was mentioned that it was possible to care for decorative Kalina, and many of the owners did not prevent a truly large plant to grow. However, such cases are rarity, as often some care is needed.
Among the main aspects associated with the departure, it is possible to detect watering, feeding and cleaning.
- Watering. Obvious is the fact that watering is an extremely important question that concerns almost all plant crops. However, the "Bulderezh" is the most plant that needs a setting with high humidity. It is also important to know that in the hot periods of the year (summer, the beginning of autumn), watering should be extremely active. It is necessary to damage the soil around the root system. It is necessary to observe the moisturgenicity of the soil, as this is the main indicator of whether it is necessary to make watering or moisture enough. In the event that watering will be correct, the flowers on the shrub will be really large. It is important to say that not the largest size of the colors talk about the insufficient level of vegetation care, and first of all the reason lies in insufficient watering.
- Feeding At the beginning you need to remember that a full-fledged feeder is already growing on the territory of the plant 2-3 years after landing. Previously mentioned the initial feeder, and if it is done really correctly, it should be enough for about a couple of years. The first feeding after a while after landing is made in the spring. By the time the first leaves should appear. This feeding should be based on nitrogen fertilizers. As for the second feeding, it takes place in the autumn period, about the time when the leaves are just beginning to be down. In this case, it is advisable to apply potash-phosphoric fertilizers. As for the feeding themselves, it should be paid to the fact that they can be brewed in water, or simply use dry granules. In the case of the last option, it is necessary to explode the soil using a boiler, after which the soil is wetted with water. As for feeding volumes, about 30 grams per bucket are often involved.
- Cleaning. So that the shrub had a presentable species, it is necessary to regularly cut the branches. Such a cleaning will allow the plant to provide the most optimal form that allows Kalina to actively develop. In addition, if cropped damaged branches, then some time will grow new, which will delight active growth and stormy blossom. Specialists advise the cutting of branches in the spring before the creation of vegetation. You can also pursue a similar process in the fall, already when the leaves are faltered. It is also important to remember that if 2 years have passed since the shrub landing, it is impossible to clean the vegetation, as it can significantly harm the shrub.
Pests and diseases of decorative viburnum
It is not a secret that various diseases and pests are an extremely serious threat to most plant crops. The same situation with decorative viburnum.
First of all, it is necessary to understand that if you do not start reacting to pests on time, then the situation can become too threatening.
- Kalinist leaf. This is an extremely dangerous pest, which actively eats the pulp of leaves. Accordingly, it is possible to understand that the sheet began its dirty business, in the remaining skeleton remaining the leaf.
- Kalinovaya black wave. It is also a serious pest, which again affects the leaves of the shrub. You can determine the black tool by gradually dying leaves. They lose shape, collapse, and ultimately fall.
- Beetle leaf. This pest is dangerous in that in the spring or at the beginning of the summer, eggs eggs, and after a short period of time, the larvae begin to gradually destroy the plant.

It is extremely important to note the fact that this disease cannot be launched, since at one moment the process will not work. Specialists advise a spraying based on burgundy fluid. As soon as the first signs of illness appeared - you need to immediately act.
- Puffy dew. In this case, we are talking about white ride on the leaves of viburnum. Again, it is impossible to be allowed to be too deplorable, so you need to quickly use the solution of Fundazola. Spraying this solution is carried out only 1 time.
