Reproduction of Weigel Bristol Ruby
- Shining. Of course, this is the most optimal option, given the high probability of obtaining active growth. The first bloom of the plant, which was planted with stalling, occurs in the second year. On green cuttings you need to take young shoots that are just starting a little tree. Leaves need to cut completely. The cuttings need to be placed in water for about 2 hours, after which they process growth stimulants, for example, heteroacexin for 12 hours in a dark room at temperatures up to 25 degrees Celsius. The landing of green cuttings is performed at the beginning of the second decade of June in the mixture of peat and sand. The layer of washed river sand is located on top. A cutting dive to a depth of about 1 cm is performed, it is closed with a plastic film. Watering is performed 2 times a day. All of the above items allow to obtain excellent rooting. For the formation of a large crown, buds should be chopped. For the winter period, the cuttings are cut in April, they need to cut them under the kidney before the leaves dissolve. The length of the cutting should be approximately 18-20 cm, and the diameter is up to 1 cm. The rooting is better to carry out in the pots, which are filled with turfs and sand. The rooting of cuttings in the winter period is much less common, so it should be borne in mind.
- Reproduction seeds. It is important to remember that when disembarking seeds, they retain their germination only during the year. Sowing takes place in the spring, at the same time make some preliminary training seeds do not need. For additional reliability, the exhibition can be made in pots or other containers, which can also be covered with glass or film. Already after the second pairs of leaves appear, you can dive. If after sowing it turned out that the landing is too thickened, it is necessary to carry out. One-year seeding of the plant is different only by one stem, which reaches a height of 7 cm, while a two-year seeding can have a height of up to 50 cm. It is important to note that the seeds that were collected from garden forms and hybrids allow you to get a varied offspring, so for The preparation of a beautiful and monotonous composition must be reproduced in a vegetative way.
Landing Weigela Bristol Ruby
We need to remember the following aspects associated with the landing of Weigel:
- The best place for landing is a sunny area or, in extreme cases, an area with a half. In addition, the plant can easily damage a strong wind, which is common practice for many sections. You should choose a secure place.
- Directly landing should be performed on the basis of three-year-old seedlings, which, with a high probability, demonstrate good growth even in harsh conditions. You can try other landing options, including the classical use of seeds, however, practice shows that a positive outcome of such actions can be called a real miracle.
- Landing Weigel usually occurs massively, this is how an attractive decorative effect is created. Experts advise to withstand a step between plants in 1.5-2 m. However, even better, when the distance between them is even more - about 3 m, then the chance to get a magnificent and long-range plant increases dramatically. The width and depth of the landing pit should be about 50 cm.
- The autumn landing of Weigela is a bad idea, since during this period the plant is seriously bad. Thus, if the purchase of Wegel was produced in autumn, it makes sense to wait for spring and then to land. You can also touch the plant in the fall in the inclined position, the ground of the earth is a large crown area.
- As for the choice of soil, it is obviously better to make a choice in favor of fertile soils, as well as loose. The overwhelmed base is not the best for this kind of plants. When landing, you can also use the soil mixture of humus or leaf land, sand and turf in the 2: 2: 1 ratio. Directly on the bottom of the landing pit can be located drainage consisting of sand and gravel. The layer itself must be limited to 15 cm.
The specificity of the care of Weigel Bristol Ruby
- During the entire period of growth of Wegel, you need to maintain the roariness of the soil. Accordingly, after performing each watering and prokopki, the soil is produced by about 5-8 cm. To facilitate this case, the place around the plant can be inspired by wood sawdust or peat, the thickness of such a layer should be up to 10 cm.
- With a minor winter, it is necessary to provide bulk watering of the plant in the spring. The fact is that the shoots are greatly frozen, and watering allows you to slightly soften the negative effect. About 10 liters of water on the bush should be used. Similar events make sense and in hot weather.
- At the beginning of spring, when snow is still present, mineral fertilizers can be made, among which urea, superphosphate and potash salt (ratio of 20, 10, 10 g per square meter). Already when floral kidneys appear, you can make a second time to perform a second time - with the help of dual superphosphate and potassium sulfate. Immediately after the feeding is carried out abundant irrigation.
- Every year in the spring you need to remove shoots that were damaged by frosts. You can also delete old shoots, but such actions are held every 3 years. The period when flowering ends is the most optimal. If you need to do so that the plant goes well, the young shoots should be shortened by approximately half. Red Weighela Bristol Ruby, such as in the photo below, needs even more regular care, which is to remove shoots and trimming, otherwise the plant will acquire a not the most presentable look.

However, it must be remembered that the distance between shrubs should be fixed, otherwise it is impossible to exclude plants.
- Decoration of edges. Flowering Weigela Bristol Ruby looks attractive and on the edges. Practice shows that and together with other low-spirited plants, Waigel is perfectly combined.
- Next to high trees. Such design of the territory will positively affect the lifetime of the landing. Plants will well complement the plot, as slim trees are often knocked out of the general "painting".
