Many are not solved even try to grow hypipers from seeds. Meanwhile, it is not so difficult. And my experience will help dispel all doubts and get your personal flower rare coloring.
Two years ago, my hypipers began to bloom in January - at the same time six bloomrs from different species were crowned from two to six flowers. And it pushed to the occupation of home selection. As soon as the anthers ripened, broke and put them in the plastic packets signed by the varieties. Painful flowers, hung a tag with a variety of pollinator.
Pollen kept on the door of the refrigerator and used for a long time, even after the bulb was played. And it was quite viable - in my case four months. Passed at any time of the day, with any weather. To see the quantity and be sure that pollination was successful, applied to pollen with his finger. His seeds
The ripening boxes are two forms: in the form of an inaccessible triangle and cylindrical as acorn, but always three-chamber. Perhaps the number of seeds depend on the amount of pollen. As soon as they ripen, sorted them on full, dubious and empty. The first group was sent by those who wish, the second sowed to the signed plastic container under the transparent cover. Soil used wet. The container was filled with two thirds. Then the month put on the heating battery. As a result, the shoots were enough.
This year, new bulbs appeared in my collection, and the seeds were contemplated after pollination when the heating season was long over. I had to set a container with sowing under the scorching rays of the sun. Noticed that shoots appeared in the second week. Consequently, for germination, seeds need heat and light. In winter, the battery is tamer due to a short day, and crops are in the dark more time.
Seed germination
Seeing once a picture of the blooming guipoastrum Blishing Brown (embarrassed bride), started looking for at least kids. But I found only seeds and then thanks to the announcement in the newspaper.
I was not embarrassed by the "age" of seeds (6-8 months), as fanatically believed that at least one sprout would still appear.
I laid out the seeds obtained on the surface of the soil tightly to each other in three seedlings. And if it can be considered empty and dubious from the amount sent by the amount, we can assume that everything came up!
"School" and bloom
In the summer, all seedlings land in the ground. The perfect place is in the greenhouse in front of tomatoes. I noticed that they are suitable for the same mineral fertilizers that use for tomatoes, and from rain protected. By the fall, the seedlings are increasing the bulb with a cherry size, by the end of the next season with walnut, and some are up to 5 cm in diameter.
This year, my seedlings grow in three tanks. And those whom the light was enough, gave a bulb with a walnut. I searched them according to a scheme of 7 × 7 cm, smaller - 5 × 5 cm. Checking the daylight lamps. We feed with each irrigation, but in a low concentration. In the frost, watering cuts, and from the glass I cut off the thin layer of the insulation or remove the plants from the windowsill until the temperature on the street is below -20 degrees. Otherwise, the leaves are trying on, and in the cheese of the soil the bulbs are reinforced. In nemorotic days, you can give extra-greened feeding.
