Multiflora Chrysanthemum is a variety of chrysanthemums with small numerous flowers, while flowering resembles a bowl of flowers. Its feature is that such a shape of the bush is formed independently and for this does not require special care. Such plants are grown both in pots or containers and in the open soil. High decorativeness and unpretentiousness of chrysanthemum allows them to grow them on the balcony, in a greenhouse.
Multiflora chrysanthemum differs from other chrysanthemums of flowering - it blooms before other species, even before the onset of frosts. The most common flowering time is September, but some varieties begin to bloom back in August.
Chrysanthemum Multiflora: landing
Landing
The place on which planned plants is planned is chosen solar, since plants grown in the shade do not form the necessary spherical shape of the bush. Plot for landing is prepared from autumn, for this a large amount of humus and ashes contribute to the soil, and dripped. Immediately before planting plants, the site is re-drunk. It is not recommended to grow chrysanthemums for longer than 2 years in one place, therefore, once every 3 years, the plant is transplant.
Young plants grown out of the cutlets are planted into the ground when favorable conditions occur since the end of April. The distance between the bushes is calculated depending on the variety of chrysanthemums and the expected size of the bush. The average grades have a bowl diameter of up to 50 cm, high-spirits - from 50 cm and higher. The size of the plant depends not only on the variety, but also from when they began to grow a stalk. In the early March chronicles, the biggest bush will grow, but it has to grow in the greenhouse longer. Shining in late April-early May gives the strongest medium-sized bushes. June and later having serenition gives bushes. Middle or small, some can reach a height of only 20 cm, but despite this, they will still acquire the correct form during the development and bloom.
Adult plant acquire in a container in the second half of summer. Sit into the ground, or continue to grown in a container, placing in a sunny place. Chrysanthemums are perfectly transferred to the transplant, but still in the summer it is advisable to plant a plant so as not to damage the roots and a formed bush, then he will delight you with beautiful abundant bloom. When landing chrysanthemums are abundantly watered.
Landing in containers and pots
If the transplant occurs in the reverse order, that is, from the soil to the pot, then it is necessary to take into account some features. As a rule, chrysanthemums plant or for subsequent sale, or to decorate a certain place of a plot or balcony. Transplanting in pots during flowering is carried out only when the third part of the buds opens, in this case the procedure does not affect flowering. The pot must be a height of at least 25 cm, the diameter is 18-25 cm, only then the root system of the plant will feel comfortable. The size of the pot depends on the growth strength of the landed variety. As a soil for the pot, any fertile substrate is suitable, just not too light, as it dries quickly.
Chrysanthemum Multiflora: Care
Watering
During the vegetation, chrysanthemums regularly watered, it is better to use drip watering. Plants in the pots are watered abundant, it is impossible to dry up, even a short water starvation will negatively affect the shape, the size of the bush and the quality of the flowering of the ball chrysanthemum of multiflora. The land under the plant is loose, so that the water is better absorbed. Water chrysanthemums under the root.
Podchar
If chrysanthemums are originally planted into fertile prepared ground, it remains only during the bootonization into the ground to make a one-time fertilizer for flowering plants.
Chrysanthemums in pots fertilize at least twice:
- During the extension of the green mass once a week, water is watered with the addition of 0.1-0.3% nitrogen fertilizers.
- In the period of the bootonization, potash-phosphoric fertilizers make.
Further look at the state of the bush, if necessary, additionally make fertilizers for flowering plants.
Wintering
Despite the fact that a beautiful ball of flowers looks very decorative and looks like a home plant, they do not grow chrysanthemums in the apartment.
After the end of flowering, the green part of the plant is cut off, leaving 5-7 cm from the base. For the winter, pots and containers with chrysanthemums are placed in a basement or cellar, plants need to provide a dark cool place at rest. Capacities with plants are periodically moistened, without giving the soil to dispel. It is possible to bring snow for this and lay it right on the pots.
At the end of February, Chrysanthemum gives weak pale green shoots, it is a signal that it's time to get the plants from the basement. Flowers are placed in a cool room or on the veranda and grow further. The room temperature should be about + 15 ° C. In March, the shoots are stronged, and since this time from the plant take a cutlery to grow new bushes of chrysanthemums of Multiflora.
Plants left to winter in the open ground are covered by winter. To do this, the landing site is plentifully covered with fallen leaves of fruit trees, sawdust, small branches. When thawed, the water is not stuck under the shelter. Unfortunately, Chrysanthemum Multiflora has a very low winter hardiness, and in the northern regions can freeze even under the shelter.
Diseases and pests
Chrysanthemums are subject to such fungal diseases like a verticile wilment, malievable dew, rust, gray rot. Under adverse weather conditions, rainy weather is carried out prophylactic treatment with fungicides from fungal diseases. The cause of diseases is often the wrong care, which is thickened landing. With timely detection of the disease, the disease is treatable.
Sometimes chrysanthemums are sick mosaic, aspermy. Plants affected by viral diseases are to be destroyed, and the formalin processing site. The next few years on such a plot of chrysanthemums are not seated to avoid relapse.
Insect pests encountered on chrysanthemums: ticks, caterpillars, slugs, trouble. When insects are detected, the plants are treated with insecticides, from the mucus of the ground under the bushes sprinkled with drugs against slugs according to the instructions.
Multiflora Chrysanthemum: reproduction
The reproduction of chrysanthemum is possible by 3 ways:
- seeds;
- stalling;
- dividing bush.
Seeding seedlings
Pre-for seedlings prepare boxes. A layer of sand or clamzit for drainage is poured onto the bottom, then fall asleep with the soil layer. It is better to use the purchased soil for seedlings, as it is already processed from diseases. If the soil is prepared at home, then it is marked before use. The soil mixture is prepared from 50% of the turf, 30% humus and 20% of sand.
Sowing on seedlings produced in February-March. Seeds of chrysanthemum multiflora are scattered on the moistened soil and are covered with a polyethylene film to create greenhouse conditions. The optimal temperature for the germination of seeds + 23-25 \u200b\u200b° C. The soil is periodically moistened, the room with a seedy is ventilated. After the appearance of the first leaves, seedlings are picked. Young chrysanthemums feed twice a month with nitrate fertilizers, with early crops provide additional lighting to increase the duration of the daylight. Finished seedlings has a strong stem with a height of 15-20 cm and a well-developed root system.
Shining
The easiest and most common method of breeding chrysanthemums is to grow chrysanthol multiflora from the cutter. The cuttings of the plant completely carry all the properties of the uterine plant, such as the color, shape and size of the bush. It is enough to take a couple of cuttings of the grade of interest to grow for yourself a new varietal flower.
Pre-prepare container for seedlings. On the bottom of the container pour sand bucket. Since chrysanthemums are non-additive plants, the sand can not be calcined. Then prepare the soil, for this mix the peat bucket, the bucket of the soil and half rider. Large scratching pieces of soil and vegetable remnants are cleaned. The resulting soil is poured on the sand layer into the container, and mulch the surface with squeaks. A layer of soil for the cultivation of cuttings should be at least 12 cm. If you plan to grow only a few plants, the cuttings are rooted in peat tablets or in separate pots.
Multiflora chrysanthemum cuts are cut from the uterine plant, starting from March. The size of the finished cutter is 10 cm, the lower leaves are cleaned. The finished cuttings are kept in the solution of the corpering day and stick into the prepared ground at a distance of 8-10 cm from each other. Do not place the cuttings too close, the sharpness of the cuttings is high, and they are pretty quickly starting to grow. A box with a seedler is kept in a warm room or a greenhouse with a high humidity of 10-15 days, during this time the cuttings have time to root. Young plants are searched into separate glasses, pots or plant in the ground. Multiflora chrysanthemum seedlings are pouring after 7-8 leafs so that they grow a beautiful ball shape.
Division bush
To obtain a somewhat new, you can divide the uterine bush from a scratched adult plant. To do this, the plant is digging, divided by its root system into several parts, then aggregate or pinch the shoots and disembark. When landing, organic fertilizers are abundantly watering.
This method of reproduction is less than winning compared to stinginess, as it is not always possible to grow a bush of the right spherical shape from the decene. In addition, the pavement allows you to get more new plants per season.
Multiflora chrysanthemum varieties
There is a huge number of varieties of multiflora chrysanthemums, differing among themselves the size of a bush, color and shape of petals. Consider some of them.
