Gliceing agricultural machinery: nuances and care secrets
Caring for glycine is a rather laborious process, as this is a very capricious plant, whose homeland is subtropics. It is important to maintain the moistened state of the soil, as well as to carry out periodic feeding and soil looser.
Watering Glicia
Wisteria needs a moderate regular watering. To make it easier for you to navigate and eliminate cases of pouring plants with water, look at the soil around the Lian - it should be slightly wet constantly. But not wet. In a particularly hot season of the season, it is necessary to increase, since the buds from the lack of moisture can begin to crumble. It is best for watering to use the spraying method. In mid-September, watering must be stopped.

The soil in the attractive circle can be meditated to reduce the amount of loosenings and reduce moisture evaporation. As a mulch, you can use a dry peat or sawdust.
Trimming
To stimulate the appearance of new Budunov, old faders need to be cut off. Also liana needs periodic trimming for the formation of the crown. This process should be carried out in the summer, in its course the lateral shoots should be cut up 20 cm of their length. If you grow wisteria as a stammerous culture, then you need to remove all stems except one. When growing a plenty plant, cutting up all the side shoots that give only greens. However, too often the plant is not worth it, because you can not see the blossom of this beautiful plant at all.
