Lilia Marlene, plant description
A numerous Lily family is perennial bulbous herbs with large open bell talker flowers.
- The variety of Lilies Marlene is derived by cross pollination asian and long-color lilies. The name of its own, the hybrid was given thanks to the famous German song "Lili Marlene", identifying the image of a beautiful gentle girl. The prototype of the image was the names of the real heroine Lily and Marlene, combined together, as well as when creating a variety of Asian Lily Marlene.
- Stem lily marlane is simple, densely humble, height can reach one meter. Coloring stem - light green. The stalk of the plant has an unusual view, due to mutation (fasciance), as a result of which several stems grow into one massive and fat escape. Such a strong flower stem is capable of withstanding heavy loads and form a huge (about 100) the number of flower kidney.
- Leaves sediment, elongated shape, pointed at the end, are located on the stem alternately.
- The root lily of Marlene lily grows over for several years, gradually increasing in size. During this period, the plant does not bloom, and only reaching certain sizes, "produces" the first bloomon. After this period, the hybrid lily begins annual flowering.
- The perianth of lily is large (diameter up to 20 cm), consists of 6 petals bent to the edges and forming a large "bell". Anthers are located on long thin threads. The painting of pink petals is gradually pale to the center.
- The flowering of the flueer is early, about 2.5 months after the first germination. The peak of flowering falls at the end of June - the beginning of July. The multitasence is not manifested immediately, but only when the bulb will grow enough (at the age of 2-3 years) and will reach the "necessary" sizes.
- The fruit is represented by a box with many flat seeds.
- Marlene Lily retains freshness after cutting, so it is often used to compile bouquets. In addition, unpretentious Lilia is widely used in indental flower growing.
Lily Marlene, Culture Features
- The peculiarity of this variety of lilies is early flowering, resistance to temperature regime drops, the presence of a plurality of large spectacular flowers on one stem, without characteristic of all loose, intense stalking odor.
- Such a huge bouquet on one escape is one of the key signs of belonging to the variety of Lily Marlen. This is due to the phenomenon of mutation or fascia, when, through external factors (fertilizers, stimulants, biological regulators, mechanical damage to bulbs, weather anomalies) changes the morphology of the plant. In this case, the stem is converted (somewhat in one) and the number of buds increases. If, the growing conditions are unfavorable for a variety or did not happen mutation, the buds will not be able to tie so thickly and the plant forms one or more flowers, while losing their former decorativeness. Perhaps the next year, Lily twists again, forming a huge number of buds on one plant with controversial flower stems. Unfortunately, the fasciance is not a fixed sign, it is only an increased locality of the plant to, of this kind, changes.
- You can buy Lily Marlene in specialized outlets, in botanical nurseries, in online stores. Do not get upset if the lily did not immediately pleased the abundance of flowers. Perhaps the bulb is not yet quite large for the implementation of mutation, or the conditions of cultivation are not suitable for exquisite perennial. Experienced flowers are trying to stimulate the process of fasciance, intentionally overwhelming the plant with organic and mineral fertilizers. Currently, the impact of an excess fertilizer on the mutation of a hybrid variety of lilies is not defined. In any case, the sign of the variety is considered to be an education even a pair of dozens of buds on a color-sided stem. Buying bulbs, you should pay attention to the appearance and quality of planting material: the bulbs should be strong, without damage and signs of damage to pathogenic microorganisms. Large bulbs, as a rule, produce flowerons in the first year after landing, small - in a few years.
- According to the reviews of flower water, Lilia Marlene is a hardy and effectively decorative plant. Growing this variety of lilies on the site, most often it is possible to observe blossom on one blur from 10 to 20 buds. Although, some gardeners were fortunate enough to grow and bouquet of 100 flowers on one plant. Such an unforgettable spectacle is attached effort and hassle. Lily easily multiplies, forming a lot of children, without difficulty transplanted and carries out in a new place.
Lilia Marlene, especially planting in open ground
Asian Lilia Marlene is an unpretentious and demanded plant that is easy to grow in the open ground. It is enough to know the basic preferences of the hybrid variety and the main conditions of agrotechnology landing.
- Lilia bulbs are planted in an open soil in the spring when the soil warmed up enough. As a rule, this period falls for April-May, depending on the region and climatic conditions.
- If lily bulbs are acquired in the fall, they are better to keep them in a dry and cool place, to avoid premature germination. The autumn planting of bulbs in open ground is also practiced, but the risks of freezing and damage to the planting material are also.
- The depth of planting the bulbs in the soil depends on its size. The more the bulb - the deeper the mud for the landing. Experienced flowers calculate the depth of the seal at the calculation of the three diameters of the bulbs. Approximately, the largest instances should be planted at a depth of 20-25 cm, and small - two times less (10-12 cm).
- The soil of Lily Marlene prefers loose, drained and fertile. In the case of clay or subline soil, it is necessary to add peat, sand, bulk humid into it. In no case cannot be added to the soil of fresh manure, since such a concentrated organic fertilizer can lead to the death of the planting material.
- Lily landing place should be well lit, sunny and protected from winds and drafts. Permanent wind and shadow can provoke the foaming of buds, curvature of the stem, weakening and depletion of the plant.
- Before boarding, the bulbs are better treated with a solution of such an insecticide as a carbofos. The drug disinfects the bulbs and protects against many pests.
- The bulbs are placed in the prepared wells (they can add a little sand) to the roots down, weave the ground, water and mulch the plot.
Growing Lily Marlene at home
Lilia Marlene grows perfectly not only on the site, but also in a pot as a houseplant. The only difference is at home the facation will not happen. It will be an ordinary lily with beautiful, large, pink, but few, flowers.
- In room conditions, planting bulbs in a container or pot can be at any time of year. If you put a flower in the fall - it will bloom to the new year, in winter - will please in the spring, the spring landing naturally leads to summer blossom.
- Pot for landing is selected in the size of the bulbs. The depth of the container must be at least 30 cm, the diameter is any, depending on the number of specimens disembodied. If the flowering of perennial is expected, only large overwhelmed bulbs should be planted. In one container, several bulbs can be planted at once, observing the interval between them at least 4 - 6 cm.
- Before boarding, lily bulbs subjected stratification, providing hardening and awakening the plant. For this, the bulbs are kept in the refrigerator with a temperature of +5 0With at least 2-3 weeks. After that, they are kept 2-3 hours in a weak solution of manganese and leave overnight in the growth stimulator.
- After all manipulations, the bulbs are planted in a pot. At the bottom of the tank, the drainage layer of pebbles, rubble or clay. The soil should be loose and fertile.
- After planting bulbs, the soil is watered and periodically loose, providing maximum soil aeration.
- When the bulb will germinate, it is important to provide a sufficient amount of light and moderate heat (about 15 0WITH).
- After monthly age, the plant can be booted. To this end, the pot is exposed to a balcony or street, starting from 30 minutes and increasing time to 10 hours. When the temperature at night will not fall below 10 0C, you can leave the flower also all night.
Lilia Marlen, plant care
The grain grain variety is absolutely not demanding and unpretentious in leaving, resistant to unfavorable environmental conditions. Hybrid lily needs elementary agrotechnical techniques, like any other plant: watering, loosening, feeding. If the stem is high, and there are many buds on it - it is better to suspend the plant so that it does not break, especially when the wind gusts.
Watering Lily Marlen
Watering plants is carried out regularly, especially in a dry hot period. Meanwhile, the moisture is undesirable, as it can lead to the blowing of the bulbs.
Loosening Lily Marlen
Periodic loosening of the soil (especially after irrigation) contributes to better growth and development of the plant, as it improves the aeration of the soil, contributes to the best air permeability and air exchange. An ideal option for saving moisture and improving the soil properties is its mulching. The mulch use peat, humus, chevy and other materials.
Up. Lily Marlen
During the growing season, Lily feed three times:
- For active growth, during the appearance of germs, nitrogen-containing complexes are made.
- In the Phase of Bookmark and the formation of buds add any complex fertilizer. Organizer perfectly stimulates the growth and development of the flower. You can use a cowber solution (1:10), wood ash, humus. But it is not worth overdoing with organic feeding, as they can contribute to the spread of fungal diseases.
- Phosphorous-potash connections are required at the stage of completion of flowering to strengthen and restore the plant as a whole.
Experienced flowers note the high results of the action of granular fertilizers of prolonged action for bulbous plants. Such fertilizers are brought once for the season - in the spring.
Protection of Lily Marlene from diseases and pests
Lilia Marlene may be attacked by pests insects or hurt with typical fungal diseases. To prevent diseases and successful prophylaxis, it is important to know the first signs of defeat and measures to combat them.
- When brown spots appear on the plant, we can talk about infecting the fungus and the development of the disease Botritis (mold, gray rot). At the initial stage of the disease, the stains are localized at the bottom of the stem, then they apply to leaves and buds. Botritis's development promotes the protracted raw cool weather. For the treatment of the disease, the plant is treated with drugs containing copper: burgundy liquid, home, oxychom.
- The lesion of the bulb fungal rotting provokes such a disease as fusariosis. The infected bulb begins to rot and decompose. Avoiding such trouble will help literate measures to care and storing bulbs, disinfection of them before landing. Also, it is not necessary to allow excessive moisturizing the plant or frequent water stagnation.
- Rust is striking the ground green mass (stem and leaves) lily, which, subsequently dry out. At the first signs of the disease, the contaminated parts of the plant are removed and burned, and the entire lily is treated with a certain fungicide or solution (1%) burglar fluid.
- For the prevention of fungal and bacterial diseases, the bulbs in front of the landing are kept in the solution of Fundazola, Maxim, Phytodeterm, etc. It is also practiced periodic spraying of the plant and watering the soil around Lily by biofungitis, according to the type of phytoosporin.
- From pests, such insects can "attack" on Lily, like a wave, web and onion ticks, a lily yoke. At the same time, the leaves dry out, twisted, eat, and the onion mites, which is in the diacon of the bulb often leads to the death of the plant. To combat such pests, insecticides are used: Fufanon, Akttellik, phytodener dr.
Transplant Lilies Marlene
Lilia Marlene grows perfectly in one place for about 5 years. Then, the flower significantly reduces the height of the bloody and the amount of buds formed. This may indicate the exhaustion of the bulb or too closely the location of small subsidiaries. The situation is easily corrected by the seeding of bulbs to a new place. They dig bulbs in the fall, rinsed well and separated daughter small bulbs - kids. The planting material is disinfected in the heatman's solution, sort and leave for storage until spring.
It is possible to multiply Lilia not only with the help of children, but also the scales of adult bulbs.
Preparation of Lily Marlene for Winter
