Ranunculyus at home. Reproduction

Buttercipions are breeding with tubers or seeds. Tubers are fragile, more like a paw of an adult goose. When choosing a bulb, it is necessary to carefully examine each unit of planting material: tubers must be strong, large, with four "curls". If the bulbs are soft, too dry and solid, then grow a healthy plant capable of flowering will not work.

The reproduction of seeds is the process of long and time consuming. Collect seeds from the first flowers, so that the small seed does not face, the flowing plants bind the gauze. In the spring, the collected seeds are evisted in the prepared ground: in a pot or outdoor soil under the mini-greenhouse.

Ranunculyus. Growing at home

You can grow this beautiful flower not only on the plot, but also at home. Only in different conditions should be care for the plant in different ways.

The cultivation of the Ranuncouleus of seeds is not easy task, but when complying with all the recommendations, you can try to grow homemade rainculus so difficult.

Growing colors from seeds, features:

  • before choosing the growing paths, it is necessary to understand that the seeds are difficult to grow flowers, because their germination is low;
  • if you have no seed yet, they can be collected from the plant you like. Then there will be confidence that growing colors you like. Seeds need to be collected from colors that bloom for the first time;
  • seeding at home is carried out in the winter, but not before the end of February;
  • regarding the requirements for the soil: it should be loose soil, light, neutral acidity;
  • seed seeds will slowly to speed up this process, in the room there must be an optimal temperature: not higher than +17 degrees;
  • as soon as the first shoots will appear, the pots must be put on the windowsill or provide high-quality lighting;
  • the first shoots should be expected after 2 or even 3 weeks, and from the moment of landing and to the first germs, the seeds need to be kept under the film;
  • in the first months after sowing seeds, the soil should always be moistened. Do not allow soil moistening, watering should be moderate;
  • picking in large ranges - only after 2 pairs of leaves appear on each plant;
  • flowering asian butt placed in this way, expect only the next year. And if you need to grow a plant quickly, then we advise you to buy the bulbs of the Ranuncouleus. From the moment of landing and before the first flowering will be held no more than 2-3 months.

Ranunculus: landing and care at home

At home, it is easy to grow rainculyus from the bulbs. You can buy landing material in the store where seeds, bulbs and all for growing beautiful plants are sold. Lukovitsa and online stores are sold. There you can choose rare and modern strands. For example, adapted for growing in pots of varieties with monochrome color, as well as a mixture of tubers. When buying a boarding material in online stores, make sure that the seller carefully packed the tubers. They are very fragile and during transportation may be damaged.

When can I start landing for beautiful plants? You can plant the bulbs at the end of winter, and if you missed this moment, then until the end of May. If your goal is to grow flowers to form bouquets for an extraction, then you will have to prepare thoroughly and think about high-quality lighting.

Preparatory work when growing Ranunculyus:

  • before planting tubers in a pot, preliminary preparation is required. The bulbs are soaked in water, leave overnight or kept in water for 10 hours (minimum - 8). So they will germinate faster and though the plants get the missing moisture, which, during storage, they gradually lose;
  • to speed up the germination of colors, special drugs will help. So, agronomists recommend to soak tubers in a solution with the addition of "epin maxi", this special mixture will help speed up the germination process;
  • and in order to prevent plant disease, fungicides should be added to the prepared solution. For example, "Fundazoll";
  • tubers need to plant very carefully, because they are rather fragile and may be damaged when landing. Therefore, the soil should be light and loose.

How to put a ranunculus in a pot:

  1. To work, it is necessary to prepare a suitable container - it can be a conventional floral vase or a special container for growing seedlings. The depth of the container - within 20 cm.
  2. On the bottom you need to pour a drainage mixture: clayzit, gravel, vermiculite or sand (only sand should be coarse-grained).
  3. Prepare the ground, it is necessary to moisten it in advance and then pour out into the vase, leaving the free space to the edge of 7 cm (minimum - 5 cm).
  4. Rhizomes need to be located with tubers down, gently insert into the ground and pour out the ground so that it covers each plant for 1 cm, no more.
  5. Now you need to hardly pour plants. By the way, in one Vase, you can put up to 5 tubers in 10 cm increments. Therefore, you need to use large vases or special trays.
  6. Place the tank with the tubers on the windowsill or other of a well-lit place so that the soil does not get straight sun rays and the plants are well covered.
  7. Watering - moderate so that the Earth does not swam, but was not very moistened. During the period of plant germination, this is very important, the convergence is unacceptable!
  8. With proper care, first flowering is expected after 8 weeks.

Ranunculyus at home. Plant care

Growing the Ranuncouleus in the pot - the task is simple, we have already found out how to plant a ring, now you need to provide proper care and wait for first flowering.

  • Soil Requirements: This should be a light substrate, well absorbing moisture, neutral acidity. A dense and heavy soil will not fit. To grow flowers, it is necessary to make a drainage at the bottom, well transmitting moisture.
  • For the prevention of diseases and preventing the formation of rotors, the universal drug "Fundazoll" is suitable.
  • The plant needs feeding with special drugs - the complex mineral fertilizers will be suitable, which need to be added to water when watering. The feeders are brought every 2 weeks, alternating: first mineral, after 2 weeks - organic (for example, "fermix").
  • Watering, as already mentioned, moderate. Water should not be cold, water taken from under the crane must be defended during the day. The water water temperature is within 20 degrees, depending on the temperature in the room. The mooring of the soil is unacceptable as the soil drying. We need to water the plants in the pallet or right under the root. On the leaves and flowers, water should not get!
  • Perfectly feel plants on well-lit, warm window sills. But if the day turned out to be hot and sunny, the ranks should be protected from direct sunlight. It is desirable to move pots to the western or oriental window sills on such days.
  • Flowering intensity depends on the illumination and temperature in the room: buttercups love heat and a lot of light. If growing plants in a half-tree - bloom will not be so heavy, as I would like, we can extend the flowering period.

Home care features:

  • when germinating tubers, the optimal temperature in the room should be no higher than +12 degrees;
  • when the plants are achieved in growth up to 4 cm, the temperature must be increased to +20 degrees (maximum to 22);
  • during the flowering period of plants, the optimal air temperature is +18 degrees, if it is hot, the flowering period is reduced;
  • in warm days, pots with plants can be taken out on the terrace or balcony, but only avoid direct sunlight and hide from the sun at noon;
  • flowers that beat away, you need to immediately delete. Thus, the plant stimulation occurs to the formation of new buds;
  • take flowers undesirable, they do not tolerate the transplant. Therefore, immediately before planting the bulbs, you need to decide on the form and size of the pot.

What to do after flowering Ranuncoules at home?

After the last flower feels, you can try to keep the plant. It needs to be moved to the shaded, cool place. Under such conditions, Ranunculyus will continue to grow, but gradually go into the stage of rest: leaves will yellow and fall, the stems can also be yellowed. Plants need to be wrapped in paper, put in a cool room (temperature from +15 to +18 degrees), it is advisable to transplant the flower in another pot, with an updated soil.

period of rest of the plant long, only 4 weeks, then there will be new rostochku (in early April). During the growing season every healthy bulb can give from 5 to 7 rostochku. Bulbs with new shoots need to dig carefully, so as not to damage the fragile young rostochku, separate and seedlings in containers. Alternatively, the store in a cool place (basement / refrigerator) to heat, and then planted in a pot.

Only such a way to preserve the plant does not give abundant flowering the second year. The tubers will not be as strong, and flowers - more than fine. So every year the tubers is desirable to update. That is - to be planted fresh.
