Color breeding Golden balls

Color breeding techniques Golden balls depend on the variety of plants. So, there are several ways:

Seed reproduction.
Decision root.
Transplanting.
Samos.

Most often, gardeners choose a seed method of breeding culture. It is held according to the following rules:

Seed seeds in the prepared ground follows in the middle of summer. For this, the seating material is pre-prepared - conduct a stratification procedure.
Each seaw is deepened into the soil for no more than 2-3 cm. Then, top with a layer of land. The distance between each landed seed should be about 10-20 cm. It depends on what kind of culture is planted. For example, the tall species of Rudbecia will require more space for the growth of rhizomes.
Soil in the greenhouse after disembarking seeds should be poured. However, remember that the plant does not like moisture stagnation, so control the amount of water during watering.
After the first sprouts were crossed, the culture can be resettled into open ground.

Very often when favorable conditions are created for the growth of culture, it can multiply on the garden of the self-sowing. Therefore, if you noticed the first crumpler sprouts on the flowerbed, simply switch to them either transfer the seedlings to another place.

As for the repeated method of reproduction, it is longer than landing with seeds, but guarantees a more successful result. You can buy the finished seedlings of golden balls in a specialized store for dachnings. However, if you decide to grow it yourself, taking advantage of a decision of reproduction, then act in the next sequence:

The procedure begins at the beginning of the spring period. To do this, we should prepare landing containers with soil.
Seeds of culture are placed in cooked containers with soil. Then they are sprinkled and sprayed with water from the sprayer.
Store planting containers under the film. In the room it is necessary to maintain a favorable climate - the temperature should not fall below 20 degrees.
The first sprouts will be processed after 14-20 days. During this time, do not forget to systematically moisten the soil in the container. In addition, periodically boxes with planting material should be tired.
When the first sprouts were crushed, they need to be seeded so that they were at a distance of 10 cm from each other. Thus, the rhizome of the growing seedlings will be formed strong and healthy.
After the seedlings were broken, it should be gradually hardening. For this, containers with seedlings are necessary to endure a balcony for several minutes. Daily increase the time for hardening the culture, gradually bringing it to 2-3 hours a day.

Golden Balloons: Landing in Soil

Growing gold balls is an easy task. The main thing is to adhere to some simple rules. So, before landing, it should be properly picking up a plot for Rudbecki. Soil there should be fertile, well-draned. The sun rays should easily enter the plot, while it should be protected from wind and drafts.

The landing in the soil should be carried out at the end of the spring period, when the soil warms well. The procedure for the work is as follows:

Pre-soil fertilize the ground. For this, the compost is perfect.
Next, the landing wells should be made to disembark seedlings. Pots are made at a distance of 35-40 cm from each other.
The seedling deepens at about 7-8 cm. Replant seedlings from the container should be very careful, so as not to damage the rhizome.
After planting the soil on the site it is necessary to cover the mulch layer. If freezes are expected at night, part of the flower beds are recommended, on which plants are planted, to cover the agrosphan.

Golden Balls: Care
