Garden Cannes. Growing in the garden: recommendations and nuances
Seeds cannop are very rare, because this method of reproduction does not guarantee the preservation of varietal signs of the plant. It is much easier to get a new copy of the rhizoma flower. However, enthusiastic breeders, of course, can try to multiply cannes and seed. Seed plants have a very hard shell, and so that they sprout, before sowing they need to soften. For this, the seeds are covered with steep boiling water and leave in a thermos with warm water for 3 to 4 hours. Alternatively, you can put seeds on a hot battery for 12 hours or curb about 2 hours in the refrigerator. Prepared seeds sowed in February into light soil, while the landing capacity should be in the halftime at a temperature of 22 - 23 0WITH.
The first sprouts will shift through the ground in about 3 to 4 weeks. They need to be counted in individual pots when they acquire 3 - 4 leafs, and ensure that the temperature in the room remains steadily at the mark of 16 0S. The strongest seedlings are likely to bloom in the same year, and the rest of the young plants are as follows.
If you do not give much value to the method of reproduction, but only chasing the goal to grow Cannes, which will bloom the same summer, you need to master the method of fissioning rhizomes. The procedure is carried out in early March. Adult canna tubers exercise so that one large and strong kidney or several kidneys are smaller on each individual part. Sliced \u200b\u200bplaces immediately sprinkle with a powder of crowded coal to dry them slightly. The separated parts of the rhizomes fold tightly to each other in the sand in the greenhouse container, while watching the kidneys in a horizontal position. Pour parts of the root of sand and spray them from time to time by a small amount of warm water.
The most favorable temperature for the extension is 20 - 24 0C. In addition, it is necessary to warm up a bit from below the container in which the Delleks cannes with the kidneys are. When the plant from the grown young leaf leaves will be closely in the tank, its parts need to be searched into separate small pots and rearranged in a well-lit place with a temperature of not more than 16 0S. Before disembarking in open ground 1 time in decade, seedlings are watered with a weak solution of potassium mangartage, prepared at the rate of 2 g per 10 liters of water. Of course, from home preparation, young Cannes to life in a garden can be abandoned, but in such a situation the plant will be more difficult to adapt, and this will significantly move the flowering time. Not grocessed in advance tubers can not bloom at the open soil at all.
Planting Cannes in the garden: Terms and Rules
When the last reminder of the winter - spring frosts - will disappear, take care of the preparation of the place for Cannes. The plant does not tolerate drafts and prefers the plots flooded with sunlight. It will be more comfortable for a shockful beauty to feel in warm fertile land, saturated with organic substances. Well, if in the soil in which Cannes will be planted, there will be equal proportions of the following components:
- humus;
- sheet land;
- coarse sand;
- peat.
You should not neglected a good drainage - without him Cannes can not do! Flowers with experience do not recommend to transfer the flower into open soil earlier on May 9, because due to the sudden temperature drops characteristic of this period, Cannes will long be delayed in growth. And this is fraught with a disturbed flowering schedule or its complete absence. The most reliable to appoint a plant falling onto the second half of May.
In order for Cannes abundantly and lastly bloom, the so-called hot litter is equipped in the landing point. At the bottom of the hole 50 - 60 cm in the diameter lay out a layer of fresh manure with a thickness of at least 20 cm. Thanks to this organic matter, the root system Cannes will always be warm, which will cause its active growth and beautiful bloom. The manure must be covered with a thick layer of soil (at least 25 cm) and it is good to moisten from above. Only after these manipulations in the landing point are carefully satisfied with the rhizome Cannes and cheat it with light earth. For Cannes bulb, which has not yet sprouted, the depth of planting is about 6 - 9 cm, no more. When planting, plants are planted with an interval of 0.5 m from each other, the same distance retains between the adjacent rows of Cannes. If Cannes successfully takes on a new place, it can be blooming after 1.5 - 2 months.
Garden Cannes: Care
During the vegetation period, Cannes 2 - 3 times feather mineral compositions: after watering, the fertilizer granules need to scatter around the plant, and then explode the soil. The feeder is carried out at the rate of 50 g of a universal mixture (13 g of potash mixture, 12 g nitric and 25 g phosphate) per 1 m 2.
Before the appearance of Kanna's shoots, it needs regular, but moderate watering. After the first bloom, it is necessary to water it abundantly, but without fanaticism: excessive soil moisturizes can cause the development of the diseases of fungal and bacterial nature, which can destroy the buds of indifferent colors. Although Cannes rarely sick, a plant with a reduced immunity may suffer from butterflies caterpillars and nematodes. The pests are getting rid of insecticidal agents. Faded flowers of plants need to be cut. The exquisite plant is unlikely to become a neighborhood of weed grass, so it is necessary to clean the Earth around Cannes from weeds regularly. When Cannes wonders, for the period before the arrival of the first frosts, the plant is highly plunged - it will help prevent the root cervix to prevent the root neck.
Garden Cannes: Storage in the cold season
At the end of September or in the first decade of October, Cannes are transported from the garden to a protected from wind, snow and frost, where they will wait for spring. Together with a lore land, the plant is gently digging out of the soil and transferred to the cool room of medium humidity with scattered light.
Put the rhizomes in the boxes. From above, the plant is sprinkled with a mixture of sand, peat, earth and sawdust of faded trees. Ideally, the degree of moisture of the substrate should be 50%, and the temperature is about +7 - +8 0C. It is desirable that the plant is not subjected to harsh temperatures, otherwise it will get sick and die. Store cannes in a closed room, often inspect the rhizomes, paying attention to the disgusting sections. The places affected by rotten are cut off with a sharp knife to a healthy fabric, processing fresh cuts of iodine.
If the room temperature is not suitable for the storage of Cannes, during the winter period, the root can be left in the refrigerator. Tubers need to prepare in advance: in the fall they dig out of the ground, wash away from the ground under running water, are left for 1 day, they are dried in a weak solution for disinfection, then dried, wrapped every spine to paper, after which these convolios are sent to the refrigerator - in storage tank Vegetables. Do not forget to monitor the safety of the planting material, while departing convolutions from time to time and inspecting the rhizomes for the development of rot.
Alternatively, you can put the washed and dried rhizomes of Cannes in a plastic bucket, spray their dry ground and take it on the balcony. With a significant decrease in temperature, the bucket with tubers are introduced into the apartment and lay the roots on the floor under the door of the balcony.
Cannes at home
Beautifully flowering plant often can be found in the walls of the apartment and a private house: those types of cannon, the dimensions of which are suitable for the closed room, feel comfortable in a pot or tub. Such a flower like Cannes, at home does not lose its decorativeness and invariably attracts attention. A homemade plant is resting only 2 months a year, and the rest of the time without tired impressive by the beauty of its leaves and the natural charm of flowers.
Cannes can be grown from seeds in a pot at home, initially as a home plant, and on the eve of the first frosts to dig up the garden Cannes and transplant it in a tub or a large pot of at least 50 cm in diameter. Please note that before bringing a guest from the garden to the house, it is necessary to treat it with an earthen room with a solution of any insecticidal agent, otherwise there will be insects there, which in greenhouse conditions can destroy the flower.
How to care for home canna
Flowers converge in the opinion that it is much easier to care for Cana at home than behind specimens growing in open ground. Judge yourself: the spraying of the home plant is not needed, the weeds are not bothering it, and without feeding it is possible to do. A pot with Canna needs to be put in a well-lit place and water as the soil grain. It is possible from time to time to wipe the leaves of the plant with a wet sponge.
When the home Cannes turns blossoms and is preparing to rest, it is necessary to cut a systematically watering to its complete cessation. Then leaves of the plant at a distance of 10 - 15 cm from the base are cut off and carry the container with canine to cool and not raw room with a temperature of more than 10 0C. With the arrival of spring rhizomes get out of the ground, divide and sear the parts of the adult Cannes in different pots. How to enter them further - leave to grow at home, decorate them a balcony or move to the garden - decide for yourself. By the way, the garden cannes after flowering also do not need a lot of water, so gradually twist them by watering to a minimum, and then give up to him at all.
