Spiray Japanese, landing
Landing the Japanese Spiray requires to comply with some rules that we will talk in detail in detail.
Professional gardeners recommend landing spire in the autumn period, immediately after the bushes dump their foliage. A shrub landing and spring is allowed, but necessarily until the kidney on branches will begin to bloom.
Depending on the type of shrub and the period of its flowering, each of you can correctly navigate on the period of planning. If you picked up a shrub that blooms early in spring for your garden, then it is best to plant it in the soil in the autumn. Thus, the plant until spring is already well rooted and will delight you with its blooming already in early spring.
Correctly prepare seedlings for landing
So that your shrub of the Japanese Spirea gave you abundant flowering and rich foliage, before falling into the ground it needs to be properly prepared. If you purchased seedlings with an open root system, then first of all you should carefully examine their condition. Delete damaged roots, as well as too long. The cutting angle of the roots should be smooth, which will allow roots to hold together. Then shorterate the above-ground part on 1/3 of the branch length.
Saplings with a closed root system before landing should be removed from the container and plentifully pouring the root part with water. If you find around the root part of the Earth's chain lumps, then better place a seedling in a bucket with water for several hours.
Then choose a 50 cm shovel to a depth and 50 cm in diameter, and accurately fall out the seedlings. Consider the fact that on homogeneous soil the shrub will not be able to please you with abundant bloom, unlike those that will be planted in the rich soil. In the event that the area is too clay soil, it is recommended to make drainage from brick and sand. At the bottom of the pits, plunge the mixture:
- 1 part of sand,
- 1 part of the peat,
- 2 pieces of grain earth.
Seedlings are needed on a well-lit plot. If you decide to grow a beautiful live elevation, then the distance between the yams must be observed at least 1.5 meters.
Spiray Japanese, Care
Spirea Japanese does not require much care. However, comply with some rules necessary.
First, if you put the shrub plant in the spring, then immediately after the landing, it is necessary to hide each of them with water room temperature. The process of watering must be regular.
Important! The summertime types of spiries require a more abundant watering, after which it is necessary to mulk the soil immediately, which allows the roots for a longer time to maintain moisture.
The feeding process is carried out three times per season with mineral fertilizers. In the event that the seedlings are planted in homogeneous soil, then the first feeding is carried out in early spring, and 2 follow-up in June and August, respectively.
For the preparation of fertilizer you need in 60 liters of water to dilute 10 liters of the dung fluid and add to the mixture of 10 grams. Superphosphate.
Sprinking Spiray Japanese
Spiray Japanese is an amazing beauty shrub whose flowering will delight you all summer. To give it the desired and correct form, it is necessary to regularly trim. Although some of the gardeners are not inclined to the opinion of mandatory trimming, but still, if you want to see a beautiful and well-kept plant in the garden, you should not forget about this process. Otherwise, you can detect ugly shrubs, with several flowers, inside which will be "conceded" the mass of dry leaves and branches.
Important! The process of circumcision of bushes is carried out taking into account the timing of the kidney attachment.
Therefore, all shrubs are divided into 2 groups:
- The first group of shrubs of Spiray Japanese - the laying of color kidneys passes into the year of their flowering.
- The second group of Japanese Spiraray Shrubs - the kidney book is held in the previous year.
The first group of shrubs is characterized by blossom from the first year. They are eclipsed by inflorescence. A year later, new inflorescences will be formed on lateral shoots, while the tips will begin to die and dry out. Therefore, such a shrub should be simultaneously rejuvenated by the trimming of escape to the swords of the stem.
It is necessary to take into account the fact that the stems of the shrub on average live 6-7 years. At the same time, this category of spirea is able to give a strong piglet. Therefore, gardeners recommend every 4 years to carry out a radical trimming of a shrub to a height of up to 30 cm above the ground.
The second category of the Japanese spirea shrub in the first year of his life only lays the kidneys, while the side shoots are actively developing. This allows you to get beautiful and rich shrubs that will serve as a beautiful decoration in landscape design.
Trimming is carried out annually, while removing the tips of the bits at the same time. Fully remove old branches you need 1 every 7 years.
