Wear a landing of Weigela into the ground

Buy Weigel is preferably in the spring (as soon as the Earth hops), then there is more chances that the plant will take root in the new conditions for him. Autumn landing is allowed, but such seedlings must be worried much more difficult. Preferences give to those instances whose age is two or three years (or more), and their roots are in the soil in a container or a pot. Such seedlings even in the summer quickly adapt to the new habitat. It will be more comfortable in a sunny place in a sunny place, especially it concerns the varieties that have a pedigree foliage. Varieties with green leaves can adapt to finding in a half. So that the wind does not break the fragile twigs, did not harm with loose inflorescences and leaves, the landing site should have protection from the gusts of the wind.

Wegel can be placed next to the conifers (thai, juniper), forzing, spirits, lilac, viburnum "Bulderezh", Garden Jasmine, Dale, Challency, Leather White.

Little varieties, for example, Naomi Campbell, Nana Variagrata, Coin, Purple, Victoria, Alba, Tango, are suitable for a flower garden and mountaineering, where they will coexist with other long-term plants.

The space between several types of Weigel is practically filled with astilbami, hosts, iris, fern, forget-me-not, poppies.

Request Waigela next to the porch, gate, bench, swings.

Waigela is not attracted to the soil, it grows on the loams, and on the soup. The main thing is that there were many nutrients in the soil. After all, on the place where you landed this shrub, he will grow and bloom 50-60 years old! Very good for Weigel, if the soil is moisture and breathable. It is possible to correct acidic soils by adding a dolomite flour, ash with a peopling.

Approximate sizes of the pit - 50 centimeters depth and diameter. In the future, this pit it will be necessary to fill in such a composition: the humus (one part), river sand and the land is hardening (two parts). If you do not have these components, then that land that was taken out of the pit, mix well in a large pelvis with the same amount of compost and 100 grams of "nitroposki". So that the water in this soil layer is not found, sketch the drainage with a layer of 10 centimeters. After drainage material, part of the pit fill in the soil to straighten the roots of the purchased seedling of Wegel on the hilly. Next, the underground part falls asleep by the remaining substrate. Important moment: Root neck Weigel when landing should not be broken. Just leave over the surface of the soil about one and a half centimeter of the cervix. When the soil gradually wakes up, then the neck will fall on her comfortable depth. Now the new resident of the garden or the court territory, and inspire the land under it, then the moisture will continue to save longer.

If you make a "live" elevation from tall plants, then leave a 2.5 or 3 meters distance between seedlings.

Recommendations for further care for Weigel

1. The plant loves moisture, so needs regular irrigation, if the weather is hot and dry, and there is little precipitation. Reduce the amount of irrigation helps mulch.
2. Aeration of the soil layer, in other words - loosening. With this procedure, pull out all the weeds near the bushes.
3. Feeding. If the nitroposka and compost were added to the landing point, then the first two seasons after the landing of Wegel do not feed. She will be enough of those elements that are present in the substrate who filled the pit. Starting from the third season, each spring (in April) feed the soil around the bush with mineral complexes (the most popular - "ammonophos", "Diammofosk", "Kemira-suite"). Then the growth of twigs on Weigel is activated, the crown will be more thick, the painting of the leaves will become rich. In the second half of May, highlight the time for the second feeding. During this period, branches appear on branches. Sulfate potassium and superphosphate contribute to abundant and long blossom. Third feeding is combined with a rescope, which you do in the fall. For her, the complex "Kemira-Autumn" or just wood ash is suitable.

Wintering Waygeli bushes

Many beautiful Vegels are heat-loving, can not stand in the regions with a cold winter. If you live in such regions, it is better to choose those Weigels that winter-hardy and hardy. Preferences give to those varieties and types that are well winted in your area. And only then you will be thrown for exquisite varieties with an average winter hardiness. Survive Winter Weigel helps shelter. In the fall, to protect the roots, squeeze the sawdust under the bush, another mulch or garden earth, cover everything with a sweetheart. The shoots themselves press each other, lay the fabric and wrap the spunbond (or Loutrasil), fixing all the rods. If the Weigel is low, then try gently to beat the shoots to the surface of the earth, usually do it with large-scale hydrangees. And then hide them with dense materials.

When growing varieties that do not differ in winter hardiness, for greater confidence that Waigela successfully pumps, the gardeners are built over the bush a kind of "Shalashik", using a metal or wooden frame, as well as an insulating conditional material. If in the spring you see that the branches still jerked, then pour 10 liters of water under the bush. And do not despair, Vegel has the ability to restore.

Trimming Weigel

Every spring inspect your bush and cut the supervised parts of the twigs and those that broke during wintering. Curious bushes in summer (in July) can carry out forming trimming. But it is necessary to do it before the period when new young shoots will begin on Weigel. And it is on these discrepancies that small boutons are formed in August in August, after which the plant blooms again.

Rejuvenating trimming is made approximately every four years. Its essence: the removal of those branches, which are more than three years. A few more shoots can be shortened, leaving two thirds of their length. The best Bush of Weigel contributes to the pinching of her young shoots.

Possible difficulties in growing

Pests that can bother Weigel:

• colony hoarse;
• different sheet-racing caterpillars;
• triples;
• comma-shaped shields;
• cellite ticks.

First, try to struggle with pests with the help of infusions made from plants endowed with insecticidal properties. You can take the grass of Celebre, wormwood bitter, the arrows of garlic, the grass of the yarrow, the pepper pods of Zhugugi. And if the pests remain on Weigel, they will have to acquire insecticides.

It happens that after a while after the landing, the sapling suddenly turns yellow and fades. This can happen if the larvae of the May Beetle or Medveda penetrated into the landing point. They can eat the roots of young seedlings. To save the plant, do the following. Earth near Kusty Sweep with a solution of "carboofos" or "Aktara".

Reproduction of Weigela

This plant is convenient to multiply by rooting the green cutter cut in April or early May. The length of the cutting should be from 10 to 12 centimeters, the presence of two leaves is possible. Cutted cuttings first put 8 hours into the water, where "heteroaceuxin", "epin", "corneser" or other stimulants added. Take small containers and fill them with a wet substrate consisting of equal amounts of peat and river sand. In such a substrate, immerse the cuttings for one centimeter. Each cutlets are desirable to cover with jars or transparent plastic glasses. The container can be transferred to the garden, in a shady place. Periodically check that the substrate in the container is wet. In most cases, signs of rooting you will notice after 4-6 weeks. Do not land such seedlings immediately into place of their "registration", let them get fixed in containers throughout the year. Just in front of winter your "young" hide.

Sometimes the seeds ripen on Wegel, they fall next to the bush. In the spring, some seeds successfully germinate. Several of the seedlings try to leave near the adult bush to have grown. Of course, before the arrival of winter they are covered. After three years, the grown seedlings can be given familiar or transplant.

The essence of the method of reproduction with letters: hurt one or more lower steamel shoots to the surface of the soil. In the place where its contact with the soil occurs, slightly crush the bug or a knife, and then fix the bracket to the soil. Now this place is satisfied with garden earth. Sometimes these places water. After 4 weeks, rooting should occur. Next season (or in two years), separated from the maternal bush, these seedlings are ready for transplanting.
