In addition, the mimeulyus is undemanding to the soil, and can revive the sections deprived by the sun, which other flowers rejected. Not offended by mimeulyus and species diversity. This genus boasts more than 150 varieties. On how to grow this unusual flower in my site, we will also tell me further.

- Gubastic fruit is a small box in which small seeds are sleeping. After ripening, it is lighter in half.
Speed \u200b\u200bspecies Mimulyus
In the culture of herbastik, he has not yet gained well-deserved popularity, therefore it is grown only a bit of varieties. You can meet the following types in the gardens.

Mimulyus, growing from seeds
Gubastic is preferably grown by a seaside method. Seed seeds are not difficult, but since they are very small and more resemble dust, you need to work with them neatly. Their size is so small that in 1 g it is possible to count more than 10 thousand pieces.
When you need to sow the seeds of mimeulyus
A favorable period for sowing seed is determined by the climatic zone and weather. In the southern regions, mimeus seeds can be heated in February. In cooler latitudes, it is better to postpone the sowing events until March-April.
Seeds seed into prepared containers with cells, which are subsequently placed on the balcony or in a heated greenhouse.
Selection of soil and sowing of mimeus seeds
Mimeuluus seeds safely spare on the soil enriched with organic. Therefore, the soil is better to use a nutritious with a low or neutral pH.
Careful universal soil is suitable, but it needs to be enroached peat and sand. Also welcome the admixture of coconut fiber and perlite.
Ideally, you need to do the ground yourself. For this purpose, a part of the turf and two parts of the sheet substrate are connected, as well as one part of the peat and sand, and three parts of humus. The resulting mixture should be loose, moistened and breathable. It will also be needed to make a drainage ball at the bottom of the container.
Seeding technology Gubastics is due to their size. They are neatly scattered over the soil in cassettes, not closeing them in the ground. If you bury the seeds too deep, they will not be able to climb.
Then the soil is moisturized from the spray gun, the container is covered with glass, film or cropped cups of plastic. When maintaining air temperature at the level of 16-18 ° C, shoots appear in 4-7 days.
Mimulyus, conditions of cultivation of seedlings
After the appearance of shoots, the soil can not be poured, since weak sprouts can be very damaged even to the weakest pressure. To maintain moisture, you only need to use a finely dispersed pulverizer.
At this stage, you need to ensure that the soil does not drive, but the excess of moisture is also unwanted. Too frequent soil irrigation can cause the fungal disease "Black leg", and shoots will die. Also, seedlings need to provide plenty of solar or artificial light.
When a seedlist is formed on the sprouts, the container is transferred to the cool room with a temperature of +10 to + 15⁰s. This will make it possible to slowly slow the growth of seedlings, otherwise it is badly survived by the pickup. Also, watering decreases, since excess moisture can harm young spons.
Picking of Mimulyus seedlings
Picking Gubastics is required. Since small seeds cannot be uniformly distributed across the cells, germs germinate is boring and unable to develop normally.
After the formation of four full-fledged leaves and roots, which seemed from the lower hole, the plants are planted into separate cups. It happens after 2-2.5 weeks after sowing.
For the dive perfectly suitable cups of 200 ml, they can be made of plastic, paper, peat. In one cup you can settle up to four plants.
In order for the Mimulyus seedlings well to post the pickup, it is necessary to conduct it in such a sequence:
- Before picking, you need to pour the soil well, give her a couple of hours to moistle enough.
- With the help of a miniature shoulder blade or other fixture with a flat surface, each sprout is approaching turns.
- You can capture seedlings for a seedy leaf, and you should not touch the leg.
- Separating the sprout, you need to gently print it to the root to stimulate the growth of a healthy root system.
- Then the seedman is immersed in a slight recess in the soil slightly below its point of growth.
Mimulyus, landing in open ground
Seedlings of the Gubastics are fragile and it is difficult to work with it. However, Mimeulyus is developing rapidly, so you need to have a landing on the flower in time.
When to plant mimeulyus to ground
As a rule, peeled seedlings are planted into the garden in the last decade of May. Until that time, seedlings have time to create and grow well. The ideal age of seedlings for landing is 6-8 weeks.
A place for mimeusus can be chosen solar, but under the pasting sun mimeulyus can burn and plant. Therefore, it is better to stop at a moderate half. The soil will need a weakly acidic, linous with an admixture of peat.
Momulyus planting scheme in the garden
Before boarding the pubastics, the area will jump, loose and watered. Then the wells are formed, in which the rhizome will be able to fit along with the land. The distance between the seedlings should be 25-30 cm. Seedlings transplant with transshipment.
In the southern strip, seeds are practiced in open ground. If the temperature in the second half of April does not fall below 16-18⁰, the seeds are sown without cultivating. The flower lea is covered with the adhesive material until the first searches appear. When seedlings are completely proceeded, they are thinned.
Mimulyus, landing and care in open soil
Growing Gubastics rarely delivers a lot of trouble. All he needs is watering, the capper and fertile soil. Mimulyus, which is very simple, easily coming up after transshipment on the flower, and quickly blooms.
Watering and feeding Mimeulyus
Gubastic is a moisture-loving look, so it is necessary to provide regular watering. All summer period, the soil must be well moistened, but the water in the ground should not be stated. Excess moisture may entail the appearance of holes on the foliage or the development of rotary bacteria. After irrigation, it is desirable to loosen the land around the mimeus, to remove sprouted weeds.
The feeder should be carried out once in 30-45 days. For this, 15-20 ml of organic fertilizer divorces in a bucket of water.
Flowers Mimulyus twice: in spring and autumn. The first period lasts a couple of weeks. When the last bud plowed, the above-ground part of three quarters is cut and fertilizers are entered. Soon, Mimulyus will acquire new shoots and begins to prepare for re-flowering.
Advice! If the mime flowering is delayed, you need to make magnesium sulfate once.
Pipher Mimulyus.
So that young seedlings actively branched, make the seign. The root of buds appears quickly, so it is important not to miss the moment, otherwise you will have to turn the first buds.
The shaped bush will look good, his shoots will be strong and thick, besides, buds will begin significantly more. Promotes the beautiful formation of a bush and a rich blossom regular removal of dry shoots.
Important! Mimeulyus badly tolerates excess nitrogen fertilizers. If you make them too much, shoots will stretch and weakened.
Mimulyus diseases and pests
Slugs and snails are of the pests for the gubastics. Their quantity increases in conditions of high soil humidity near the plant. In order to prevent the invasion of these pests of the land near the plant, it is necessary to climb sawdust.
Sometimes the plant can affect the whiteflies and aphid. Aktellik will help destroy insects.
The development of the "black leg" and pulse dew is also associated with excess of moisture. To cure mimeulyus will help the normalization of watering. Especially often these diseases appear during the period of growing seedlings. Therefore, for the prevention of seedlings, it is necessary to spray with a solution of any fungicide.
Mimulyus in landscape design
Mimulyus, whose cultivation gives pleasure to every gardener, will become a real decoration of the spring garden. He will quickly fill empty places on the flowerbed, revantly revives the bending tracks, charm his beauty in solitary landing. The moisture-lobby gubastic is perfectly mastered on wet areas, near water bodies, artificial ponds.
Use Mimulyus to create colorful alpinarias, motley beds, suspended compositions. Also adding gubastic varieties are fast-growing soil material. It can be found next door to Floxami, Barwinccoma, buttercups, stamping.
