Growing soapyanka

The plant is unpretentious, perfectly getting along with any soils, multiply in such ways:

• soapsyanka breeds seeds. The collected seeds must be sown in the open ground in mid-May or in mid-October. With this method of sowing seeds, shoots and flowering should be expected only for the next year, and with a harsh climate - even later. In order not to risk and not lose the sowing material, the amateur flowers grow seeds to seedlings. It is necessary to do this in March, the frown, the stubborn seedlings are planted into the open ground along with the Goroshkova Earth (without separating the complex of the earth) at a distance of 30 cm;
• reproduction with cuttings having tops. The planting material is separated from the adult plant. The period of separation is spring and summer, but you need to do it before the flowering period. Selected cuttings remove the lower leaves, placed in a pot or a box with sand (sand must be moistened). After rooting, planted in open ground;
• delivery - adults, well-crushed bushes share and sear immediately on the prepared sections. The landing of separated bushes in the summer, before the onset of cold weather. In each prepared hole before landing, bone flour is added.

Soapy. Growing from seeds

If you have high-quality sowing material, you need to attach a little more effort to grow it a beautiful plant. Sochnyanka seeds are very small, for example, in 1 g of basilicolized soapy, there are more than 600 seeds! Seeds are easier to grow on the seedlings, so that the fastening plants will transplant into open ground. It is necessary to do it in March, but if late, then in June under the cold greenhouse or well-trained bed.

You can risk and sow seeds into an open soil in May, only then you need to cover the sowing material soil. If seeds are planted in the spring to keep the moisture in the soil, the plants are covered with glass and kept at a certain temperature. So, indoors should not be cool, the optimal temperature of +20 degrees, then the shoots can be expected in 2-3 weeks.

When the seeds are good, they must be prepared and reduce the temperature slightly. If in the room +20, we reduce the temperature of 5 degrees. Young, strengthened plants, ready for landing at a permanent place at the end of May or if this period is missed, then at the end of summer.

When planting seedlings, the distance is redundant - 25, a maximum of 30 cm. The flowering of these seedlings should be expected only for the next year.

Depending on the grade of the plant and the timing of the soapy planting, you can prevent self-sackers and on the contrary, wait for the seed collection period. If the seeds are not needed, then the blooms will have to be deleted in a timely manner. Nonhhreme varieties of plants breed seeds, and terry - vegetative way.
