The plant gets along perfectly on any soils, she doesn't need much space to actively develop, it is possible to grow a sipomy even on the balcony to those who have never grown beautiful plants before.

Flowers at the eggs are large and solitary, located on a small flower maker. The diameter of each flower from 5 to 7 cm. Flowers are always a funnel-shaped form, the people were called "Little gramophilics". Depending on the variety there are different colors: it looks beautifully on the site of the ipomeya with white flowers, the colors of the sky, purple, bright blue, pink and burgundy. Flowers are found with stripes, motley and even terry.

Ipomay loves the plots well lit by the sun, does not like drafts and strong winds. The soil should be loose and fertile, speaks well for the introduction of liquid feeding and abundant watering during the dry time of the year. The feeding should not be made in large quantities, because bloom can suspend, the plant will increase green mass.

In the care of the Ipomoya unpretentious, due to the characteristics of the climate, in the middle lane of Russia, this plant is grown as an annual. This is a poisonous culture, in nature there are about 500 species and only about 25 can be grown at home.

IPOMEYA Purple paradise stars, a mixture of color - breeders have long been derived unique varieties of plants mixed color. On one bush, you can observe the flowering of several multi-colored colors at once: pink and purple with a delicate beige middle, white with bright blue stripes, striped, with a wavy edge of another shade:

Ipomey Purple Paradise Stars. Landing

The cultivation of beautiful flowers is not a challenging task, the plant is unpretentious in care, in nature breeding in a natural way - self-sowing.

If you want to grow a sipom in the country area or on the balcony to hide from the curious views of the neighbors, our step-by-step recommendations will be just by the way:

1. Choose the right place. Ipomay loves the sun's rays very much, so the main rule is to choose a well-lit place, but so that it is hidden from drafts and wind. If you live in southern areas, then you need to make protection from scoring sunlight. But it is undesirable to fencing the plant completely from the light source, because then the IPOMEY will increase the green mass, and it interferes with blossom.
2. Buds are revealed in the morning. You will wake up and be happy with beautiful colors. Life life of one flower is short-term, just a day. In the afternoon, flowers are closed. When growing a blizzard, it is important to choose the right side: Eastern in priority, although on the Western and southern Plant also feel well. But on the north side - not very, there are few lights, so there will be more leaves than colors.
3. How to prepare seeds: if the planting material is assembled in all the rules, then the germination will be 100%, the seed storage period is up to 4 years. Predset preparation: Seeds need to soak in water overnight or per day, water should be hot, the temperature is about +50 degrees. How to understand that seeds are ready for landing? They should increase in size, that is, to swell. If, even after the daily soaking of the shell, the seeds did not open, it is necessary to drain the water, to dry them, and then or pierce each seed with a thin needle or that the process does not take a long time, to lose the seeds between the sandpaper. Then, after the actions of the actions were done, the seeds need to wet again and wait until they swollen.
4. What is better, growing seedlings or sowing right into the ground? There are often disputes on the experienced flower flowers, because some believe that seedlings come true faster and less problems, others - argue that it is easier to grow from seeds. And they are right, because yes indeed from the seedlings it is easier to grow a sipome, but you need to highlight enough time to grow seedlings itself, carefully transport to the site so as not to damage the fragile stems and put into the soil. Seeds to multiply IPOME is simpler, but everything will depend on the variety and climate. If this is a fast-growing grade, small flowers - and this is just a magenta, then the best of all the prepared seeds immediately sow in the open ground. Just by the middle of summer, if the climate allows, flowering can be expected at the beginning of summer or by the middle, if the summer was changed.
5. If this is a large-flowered kind of sick, then bloom will not be so abundant, because the plant will need more time on a set of green mass and flowering. In more northern areas, if the climate is not favorable for growing these colors, the summer was rainy and cool, then Ipomoy will bloom later, the bloom will not be abundant.
6. How to sow seeds into open soil: with the onset of spring, as soon as the air temperature (average daily) will resist within +10 degrees, highlight the plot well lit by the sun, explode the soil (the depth is about 10 cm), be sure to make a feeder (suitable light superphosphates), Close up fertilizer.
7. Prepared seeds for landing (definitely conduct scarification - damage to the integrity of the upper shell of the seed), put the swollen seeds in pre-prepared wells. In every hole - 3-4 seeds, deepening landings need a maximum of 2 cm. The gap between each hole is within 25 cm.
8. Immediately after landing, the wells need to sprinkle the earth, slightly tamping, moisturize the soil. It is necessary to water a little, not allowing soil moistening.
9. If the air temperature is not lower than +17 degrees, then after 2 weeks, and perhaps before, the first shoots will appear.
10. After some time, you will have to leave only strong sprouts (maximum 2 pcs), the remaining remove.
11. As soon as 5 leaves on the plant appear, the top need to be discredited to speed up the formation of neighboring shoots.

How to grow a misery ever

It is not difficult to grow seedlings at home and observing all the rules, it is not difficult, only you need to know that the root system at the IPOMEY is a rod, so it is bad to transfers a transplant at any age.

Rules of growing seedlings and landing of the IPOMEY:

1. If your task is to grow seedlings to the May landing, then the seeds need to be prepared on the last week of March or in early April.
2. Before boarding the seeds, you need to soak first in the water temperature and wait for them to increase in size, they will eat well with water. If you can see that there are seeds that did not upgrade moisture, the water needs to merge and carefully pierce the needle seeds to damage the shell.
3. After the manipulation done, it is necessary to pour the seeds with water again to leave for a day. With such a thorough preparation, they will necessarily have water and they can be planted in the prepared ground.
4. Ideal for shoots temperature indoors + 17-18 degrees, germinate seeds will be within 10-14 days.
5. Sowing seeds need to be performed immediately into individual pots to avoid injury to young seedlings in open ground. For these purposes, plastic cups or special peat tablets are used.
6. Requirements for Earth: An ordinary soil taken in the garden plot will not suit. You need to independently prepare enriched soil: take in equal parts of the Earth (garden), add as much peat and fine sand without impurities. If there is no such possibility, we recommend purchasing a special substrate to grow flowers in the store.
7. Prepared seeds seed 1-2 pieces. In every pot, you can put 3 pcs as possible, the depth of 2 cm is necessarily watered from the watering can, but not plentiful.
8. It is desirable to germinate seeds in a warm and bright place if it is a greenhouse, then only heated.
9. To speed up the process, cover the tank with a film or glass. But without this manipulation everything will turn out.
10. If there is a temperature above the maximum permissible norm (+17 degrees), and for example, 20 or 22 degrees, then the process of germination will go faster. Already on the 6th or 8th day it is worth expecting the first shoots.
11. Seeding of the Ipomey is growing rapidly, so it is necessary to immediately ensure all the conditions for the optimal development of plants. So, to grow a strong seedlings of 10 seeds, you need to highlight a section of 15 per 15 cm.
12. Be sure to make a support, because the IPOMEY is a curly plant, and the stems can quickly get confused. Unravel them to translate into open ground, it will be very difficult and even impossible. Therefore, to facilitate the task, next to the young sprouts you need to insert low sticks. This is enough for the first time, then you need to make a grid or pull the rope.
13. It is advisable to organize additional lighting. For these purposes, phytolampa is suitable, which must be included in the morning and in the evening, and only when on the street is overcast.
14. Fresh seedlings need to land on a pre-prepared area, well lit. The temperature in the dark should be higher than +5 degrees, otherwise the ipomea may die. A favorable landing period is the end of spring, the first weeks of summer.
15. The soil must be a good fundamental. It is easy to plant: to translate the plant along with the ground, the most carefully and carefully, so as not to damage the roots, because they are very fragile.
16. Observe the distance between the landings: 25 cm, we provide timely moisturizing soil. Overflows are not allowed!

Always when a question arises about the cultivation of a game with a seaside way, experienced flower products recommend very carefully to seedlings. The stalks and the root system are very fragile, so when transporting it easy to injure flowers and even destroy them. That this does not happen, it is necessary to carry out the carriage to do a little, placing several plants into a spacious plastic container (a bucket or a bowl with high sidelights). But this is not enough, you need every cup or pots to wrap with wrapping paper (you can with old newspapers or logs), and then in such a protection to be laid in the container for transportation. The free part of the stems must be accurately put clockwise.

Ipomey Purple Paradise Stars: Care

In the care of the binding unpretentious, but some points need to be taken into account to extend the period of flowering of the IPOMEY:

• ipomay loves to develop on supports as soon as it reaches 20 cm in growth or a little more, she needs to catch something for something to go into growth. This can be anything: low fence, wood, grille, arch, gazebo, wall building or special grid;
• how to water: the plant loves moisture, but does not like to overwhelm the soil. Therefore, when the young Ipomoya first picks up a green mass: watering should be abundant and frequent. It cannot be allowed that the soil is dry, but also it is impossible for water to stand. Then the shoots can suspend growth, but the flowers will appear before the expected timing. It is incorrectly, the growth of plants and IPOMES can die;
• after the first flower appears, watering is reduced. It is necessary to constantly monitor the soil so that it does not swell;
• to keep moisture in the soil, salvation - mulching;
• each type of plant requires separate attention. So, the variety "Batat" requires abundant irrigation in the first 8 weeks, but then the dry hot period will be fine. It is impossible to fill the plant, as it will die quickly;
• iPOMEYA Purplenaya - perfectly getting along with any soils, but more like wet, lungs and thin neutral soils. So that the plant is better developed, the soil must be mulched and loosen;
• making feeding: The first - nitrogen fertilizers, in small quantities, because add more, bloom will suspend. Second feeding: phosphorus + potassium, granules need to scatter around the plants, slightly deepen and pour.

Fighting diseases and pests of IPOMEY Purple Paradise Stars

Weather tick and notch are the most important enemies of the Ipomey. The pests literally sue the most valuable in the plant, as a result of which the leaves begin to be covered with light spots, turn yellow and fall. The plant affected by pests will come in front of the eyes, throwing the foliage, the development and flowering stops.

How to avoid pest attacks: to inspect the leaves, timely process with soap solution. But even the usual spraying with cold water without additive will help to get rid of the pawkin tick. But this if the tick is only detected, and when it began to multiply on the plant, then insecticides will have to apply.

The most terrible disease of the IPOMEY - fungus and viruses, the infection is distributed through the ground, affects the entire plant. Timely processing will help to avoid misfortune, but if late, the plant will have to remove and burn.
