How to plant oak trees flowers. Autumn flowers for the garden: a variety of species
Chrysanthemums - one of the last flowers, pleasing us with its bright inflorescences to the frost. There are different types of chrysanthemums: there are annuals, with large flowers, grown mainly for cutting, but perennial small-flowered or Korean chrysanthemums are most common in our gardens. In the people they are also called oak trees, thanks to their leaves, in form resembling oak. That's it about them today and will be discussed.
The bushes of Korean chrysanthemum are from 30 to 120 cm in height. Its inflorescence is a basket consisting of many flowers, the size of inflorescences varies from 5 to 10 cm, there can be up to 100 pieces on one bush. Inflorescences are terry, semi terry, pumpy and flat. In oak trees there are many colors: white, yellow, orange, red, lilac. Inflorescences of chrysanthemums have a fresh pleasant aroma. The flowering of the plant is quite long, with timely removal of faded blossoms, it can be up to four months.
Cultivation and care.
It is best to plant Korean chrysanthemums in the spring. True, more often oak trees can be found on sale in August-September, when they are the most decorative and it is so difficult to resist buying. What to do if you bought seedlings in the fall, I will tell you a little further, but for now about the spring planting of chrysanthemums.
A place for a plant should be chosen sunny, protected from cold winds, in the shade of chrysanthemum they may simply not have time to bloom. The soil of the plant prefers loose and fertile, does not tolerate stagnant water, in the low wetlands the oaks will freeze in winter. Heavy clay soil needs to be improved by adding peat, compost or humus to it. The distance between the bushes should be left at least 40 cm.
Korean chrysanthemums grow unusually fast, growing over the summer of their tiny cuttings into a large spreading shrub. Therefore, for normal growth and development they need additional feeding. The first fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizers is carried out about 10 days after planting, when the plant takes root and starts growing. The second - in the period of budding with potash-phosphate fertilizers. The third dressing, also potash-phosphorus fertilizers, in the period of mass flowering.
To bush was more lush and bloomed abundantly, in early June, you should pinch the tops of all shoots.
After planting, care for the oak trees consists in watering and loosening the soil, the soil is loosened to a small depth, destroying the weeds. Last loosening should be carried out in mid-June. After that, to better preserve moisture, the soil around the plant can be mulched with peat or compost. Watering oak trees should be as needed, while avoiding the stagnation of water and getting it on the stems and leaves of the plant.
After the first frost, when the greens dry up, the stems of chrysanthemums need to be cut. They can be cut both high and low, right at the root. For the winter, Korean chrysanthemums need to be covered with spruce leaves or tree foliage, and the cover should not be too dense and heavy, otherwise plants can snuffle.
As soon as it gets warmer, the shelter is removed. Once the oak trees begin to grow, you need to remove the remnants of last year's stems, and unscrew the dead dead center from the ground.
What to do if you purchased chrysanthemum seedlings in the fall, covered with flowers? If there are still more than a month left before the first frost, you can plant them in open ground, but it is better not to risk it and plant the plant in a pot or box and place it in the area among other flowers. And after the onset of cold weather, the plants in such a box should be cut and removed for the winter in a dry, non-freezing cellar.
Reproduction.
Chrysanthemums reproduce or by dividing the bush. Shrubs can be divided during the growing season.
Cutting - the most common method of reproduction of chrysanthemums. It is conducted in the spring or early summer. It is necessary to cut off the soft tops of the shoots with a length of 8-10 cm, remove the lower leaves and stick into the planting box with damp earth. The soil in the box must always be kept moist, however, avoiding stagnant water. The box can be placed on the street in a place protected from wind and rain. After about two weeks, the cuttings will take root and after that they can be planted into the ground at a distance of at least 40 cm from each other.
In one place, chrysanthemum bushes can grow up to 5 years, but over time they lose their decorative effect, the flowers become smaller, so after 2-3 years they should be divided and transplanted to another place.
Diseases and pests.
Korean chrysanthemums are fairly disease resistant. Most plant diseases are associated with improper agricultural practices, namely, excessive waterlogging. These are all kinds of fungal diseases and rot. In addition, oaks can be affected by viral and bacterial diseases. The fight against them usually comes down to the destruction of the affected plant.

Chrysanthemums - planting and care in the open field, the formation of a beautiful bush
The main autumn flowers - chrysanthemums, planting and caring in open ground for these flowers are not particularly difficult, but require compliance with a number of conditions when grown in spring and autumn. Do not break the rules if you want to plant a flower from a bouquet or root a process, but to propagate the plant in the fall, read the main points. If you do not know how to form a beautiful bush with a ball, then remember, you need pinching and pruning for the winter, or try to grow a special variety that will need only a single pasynkovanie ...
Methods and terms of reproduction of chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums are annuals - they are grown annually from seeds, and perennial - they can be propagated by seed, cuttings, queen trees, or dividing a bush. Chrysanthemums are planted in spring and autumn, each season has its advantages:
- Seeds sown in open ground in May, and when the shoots grow up to 10 cm, they pinch. In the fall, chrysanthemums are already blooming.
- Cuttings - A very popular way of breeding chrysanthemums. You can grow a bush, cutting off the stalk, even from a bouquet. How to root a chrysanthemum shoot? Escape length of about 6 cm rooted in the soil, consisting of sand and peat. The box covered with glass is kept in a cool place, not higher than + 15 ° С. When the roots appear, the plants are planted in separate pots and then, with the end of frosts, in open ground. If you purchased the stalk of the desired variety in the fall, do not plant it in the ground, but root in a container and leave it in a cool place until spring.
- Mother liquor - This is a wintered rhizome of chrysanthemum, from which the shoots will go, it can be purchased and planted in early spring
- Dividing bush - the only way of autumn planting of chrysanthemums, in which the plant is carefully dug, shears divide the roots of the mother bush with shoots into several specimens and plant. This procedure is supposed to be held every two years to rejuvenate the plant.
Chrysanthemums, planting in spring and autumn
Please note, if you decide to grow chrysanthemums, planting and care in the open field differ in spring and autumn - during spring planting, the queen trees and cuttings take root better, but in the fall you can choose a flowering shrub and not be mistaken with its appearance.
Chrysanthemums
For very cold winters, choose Korean small-flowered hybrids of chrysanthemums, which are called the oak tree - this species combines many varieties zoned in the middle lane and the Moscow region. Large-flowered Indian chrysanthemums are tall - they grow up to a meter, and sometimes up to one and a half, but they are afraid of cold weather and freeze easily.
For chrysanthemums, choose a sunny, preferably elevated place. Flowers do not like stagnant moisture, so they drain the overmoistened soil, adding a layer of coarse river sand to the planting hole. The soil is preferred to be slightly acidic or neutral, light and loose. Too dense - mixed with peat, humus or rotten compost.
Chrysanthemum plants are placed every 30-50 cm. The pit is dug out shallow so that shoots on the queen or two-thirds of the cutting are not covered with earth, when dividing the shrub it is about 40 cm. No more than 0.5 kg of humus or compost is added to the well. If you overdo it with fertilizers, the flowers will be small, and lush foliage only. It is recommended to irrigate the roots with a stimulant (, Kornevin, Heteroauxin), and then cover it with soil and compact it. Cuttings after spring planting should preferably be covered from the sun with a spanbond for a couple of weeks.
When planting in the autumn, the chrysanthemum bush must be watered abundantly, this will compact the soil, eliminating the voids in it, due to which the roots may freeze. In addition, the flowers are cut and leave a third of the stems, so that nutrients go to the development of the root system.
Chrysanthemums, care - watering, feeding, trimming, shelter
Chrysanthemum does not tolerate moisture stagnation, but watering loves - without water, the stems become hard, the flowers become shallow. At the same time, the flower does not tolerate sprinkling, it is necessary to water it at the root, preferably with rain or settled water. Land after watering loosened to avoid crusts.
In the spring for chrysanthemums need nitrogen fertilizer for rapid growth, you can spend it in 2-3 weeks after planting. In the second half of summer, with the beginning of chrysanthemum budding, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied to ensure lush flowering and strengthen the plants before hibernation. In the autumn you can feed the flowers a little organic. Tall species tie up, as their fragile stems can break.
The beginning of frosts is a signal that it is time to leave for the winter. The trunks of chrysanthemums in the late fall cut, leaving 10-centimeter hemp and insulate with sawdust or foliage. The most tender varieties on top are wrapped with a covering material and, to protect from moisture, they put something flat on top - for example, a plywood shield. Some growers dig up the roots and store them in the winter in a dark, cold cellar to preserve the variety for sure.
How to create spherical chrysanthemum bushes
For flowers such as chrysanthemums, planting and care in the open field - not all that is needed and simple processing will allow you to create real masterpieces from them.
After winter, chrysanthemums are pruned and pinched to get a beautiful spherical shrub. There is a variety in which the bush itself grows as a ball, without needing to form, this is a multiflora chrysanthemum, a low-growing bush up to 20 cm in height — when two pairs of leaves appear on the shoot, it is pinched, and then the ball forms itself.
Multiflora can be grown not only in a flowerbed, but also in a pot. But, at the end of flowering, the above-ground part of the plant is cut and sent to rest - in a dark cool place, for the whole winter. Periodically sleeping chrysanthemums are watered so that the roots are not dry. In February, the first shoots appear, which means that the plant has woken up, and it is time to get it out of the basement. If the spherical chrysanthemum grows in a flower bed, the stems should be cut to 10 cm and cover with sawdust and nonwoven material for the winter.
The multiflora loves the soil rich with fertilizers, when landing add more humus and wood ashes to the hole. If you grow it in a pot, you can prepare the soil from 30% of humus and 20% of sand, the remaining 50% is sod land.
It is possible to form a ball from other types of chrysanthemums; in small and medium-flowered main shoots pinch on reaching 10-12 cm, then cut side shoots grown to the same length, they then actively branch, pinching is done before buds appear.
In large-flowered species of chrysanthemums, 15 cm long stems are cut, only one or two pickles are carried out no later than June, besides, they are stepson — from mid-July shoots that appear from the leaf axes are removed daily, and from August every three days, then get a spherical bush with large flowers with a diameter of up to 10 cm.
The autumn lights of lush annual flowers have long been extinguished. Perennials prepared for wintering. And only the bushes of flowering chrysanthemums still delight the owners of the site with the magic of their beautiful, colorful inflorescences. It seems that, meeting the first frosts, they are postponing the onset of winter, saying goodbye to the past summer. The plant stems are decorated with green leaves, similar to oak, bright colors of any shade.who themselves ask for the last bouquets of the past season. These flowers are affectionately called oak trees, they are known in Europe for several centuries. The best varieties of this plant with photos and names are listed below.
Now we know about 65 0 types of chrysanthemums, united in 13 groups by types of inflorescences. Among them are pompon, pinnate, bristly, spherical, anemone-like, simple, undersized, semi terry, terry plant types. Perennial, annual species. To one of the conditional groups are cold-resistant. The list of varieties of Korean chrysanthemum contains a large number of multi-colored forms, despite the meaning of the word chrysanthemum, as “gold-colored”.
Bush height korean chrysanthemum can reach 25, 130 cm. The inflorescences are formed from a large number of small flowers or several large ones, reaching 12 cm. The flowers may be in the form of a tubule, a tongue. Often on the bush bloom at the same time up to 400 inflorescences, collected in a complex panicle. Erect stems have fragile twigs with numerous leaves. Their upper surface is smooth. The lower part is covered with light hairs. The branched root system, located at a depth of 20 cm, has shoots in the form of stolons, numerous shoots.
Terry, semi-terry varieties have a peculiar smell, similar to the freshness of autumn fogs, not yet cold rains. If you quickly remove the flowering inflorescences, the total duration of the growth of flowers on the stems reaches four months. The homeland of oak trees is considered to be Japan, China. In Russia, cultivating as a cultural perennial flower of chrysanthemum began in the middle of the last century. There is evidence that the main set of modern varieties of "Korean hybrids" began as a result of cross-breeding works conducted by A. Cumming in 1928.
It is not recommended to grow any variety of oak trees at a specific place for more than five years. Flowers become small. Decorative inflorescence falls. Two, three summer bushes better tolerate winter.
Domestic breeders offer the following popular varieties of chrysanthemums:
Daisy
A strong bush, reaching a height of 70 cm, is decorated with semi-double blossoms of white flowers with a diameter of about 8 cm. The white color of the petals has a shade of yellow. Leaves of a light green shade. Plant blooms in late August. Flowering lasts until the arrival of frost.
Valentina Tereshkova

Rules for the care of Chinese Chrysanthemum
Oak trees are unpretentious flowers, cultivation, which is not considered difficult. Normal, well-drained garden soil, optimally suited for cultivation. The plant does not withstand moisture stagnation. In such places, the likelihood of winter frosting increases. If the site is clay soil, then before planting it must be diluted with peat, humus, compost.
When choosing a place for planting oak trees, provide the plant with enough sun. Flowers appear earlier, have a rich, bright color. In the shade of trees, the plant may not bloom.
The best time to plant oak trees is spring. The distance between the landing holes make about 40 cm. Except for their bottom, organics sprinkle a small amount of mineral fertilizers. They are quite enough for two, three years of bush development. Plants grow quickly, turning in one season from a small seedling to a spreading shrub. This requires careful attention to fertilizing chrysanthemums.
The first feeding is recommended to be carried out two weeks after planting.. To do this, use nitrogen-containing fertilizers. During the budding period, it is recommended to apply potash-phosphate fertilizers. They are used at the time of mass flowering bushes. A solution of organic watered plant during the growing season. In the autumn after trimming a bush, it is useful to add organic matter around each bush along with bone meal, superphosphate. Flower growers consider the best preparations for oak plants to be finished preparations Akvarin, Omu flower, Gumi-Omi.
Watering is important for the quantity, preservation of flowers. With a lack of moisture, the stalks of the oak trees are woody, the beauty of the peduncles decreases. Watered gently, trying to keep water from falling on the leaves. In the autumn after trimming the bush, you need to make sure that there is no stagnation of water in the place where the flowers grow. The last event of plant care is pruning, preserving hemp, about 15 cm high and shelter for the winter. To do this, it is recommended to use sawdust, peat, spruce branches, dry leaves, stalks of annual flowers. Winter shelter should not be tight.
During the period of active growth of bushes in a timely manner to remove the lower leaves. This helps to protect the plant from many diseases.
Breeding oak trees
The plant can be propagated in the following ways.:
The division of the bushes
The simplest and less labor-intensive method of reproduction of chrysanthemums - the division of the bush The procedure is allowed to carry out throughout the growing season. Even at the time of flowering. The best time is considered the beginning of summer.. This is due to the intensive growth of young shoots, good conditions for its transplantation. It is digged along with part of the old bush. From each shoot with roots it has time to grow a new bush.
Pits for planting a delenok dig at a distance of about 30 cm from each other. Filled with compost, plentifully watered.
Cuttings
Oak trees are a type of plant that easily forms roots on pruned stems. The cuttings are planted in pots in the fall. Until February, they are kept in moderate watering conditions in a bright, cool room. The optimum temperature for cuttings is about 6. At the end of February, they are put in a warm room, watered, fed with nitrogen fertilizers at the rate of 25 g per bucket of water. After 20 days, seedlings with formed roots are transferred into separate containers filled with fertile soil. After reaching a height of 20 cm, remove the growth point by pinching the apex.
The second pinching is done after the growth of side shoots to a value of about 20 cm.. Top dressing is carried out alternating various types of fertilizers. Before planting in the open ground, the saplings are hardened in the usual way. Grafting is allowed at any time, using shoots, side shoots, pieces of old stems. The first flowering of plants grown from cuttings of different periods begins almost simultaneously.
Seed propagation
Seeds are planted in fertile soil in late February, March. The containers are covered with glass, creating a micro greenhouse. Shoots appear in a week. After the regrowth of two true leaves, the seedlings swoop into new pots.
After two months, the height of young seedlings reaches 20 cm. Depending on the weather, they are planted in open ground in May.. Usually, flowering begins 5 months after planting the seeds. Seed propagation does not create sustainable plant forms. Its advantages include high resistance to wintering.
Flower pests and diseases
Many pests gladly settle on the bushes of chrysanthemums. Among them aphid, moths, slugs, snails, caterpillars, nematodes. Ash, dry mustard, herbal infusions, “Healthy Garden” chemical preparations will help to get rid of them in time. The same methods help the plant in diseases of powdery mildew, leaf spot, rust, chlorosis.
Usually, many diseases develop with a lack of magnesium. In this case apply Uniflor-butonour, Fitosporin, Zircon. Fungal diseases appear on plants with a constant excess of moisture.
If you have noticed the wilting of plants caused by a viral disease, you must urgently dig up a bush, burn it.
Careful attention to chrysanthemums allows you to realize the most beautiful, long-flowering options for decorating the site. Late autumn sometimes, when all the works are finished, it is pleasant to think about new plans for the next season surrounded by bright, beautiful flowers.
Korean chrysanthemums, or, as they are also called, oak flowers, are distinguished by unpretentious care, have an attractive appearance, decorating their homestead territory with their flowering. Due to the simplicity of care with the cultivation of oak trees, every gardener will be able to cope, and the variety of varieties will allow you to choose such flowers that will fit the overall color range of the flower garden and alpine slide.
Description of the species
Korean chrysanthemum - perennial flowering plantsthat can reach heights, depending on their variety, at 120 centimeters. Stems in oak trees erect, thin, pubescent on top. In appearance, the leaves on the stems resemble oak, hence the name of these flowers. Flower buds reed and tubular, located in inflorescences baskets. During the flowering period on one full-sized shrub up to 400 inflorescences can open simultaneously.
These are unpretentious flowers in care, which easily take root on any type of soil, while they grow particularly well and are distinguished by their decorative effect on loose, well-drained soil.
Chrysanthemums are light-loving plants, therefore, when choosing a site for a flower bed, it should be remembered that in the sun, oaks will be distinguished by their maximum decorative effect. In this case, every gardener and novice summer resident will be able to care for oak trees.
Gardeners today known several hundred varieties of chrysanthemums, which are well-zoned for the Russian climate, unpretentious in the care and have a magnificent decorative effect. Flowers of oak trees, the care and reproduction of which is not difficult, make it easy to equip a full-grown flower bed on the backyard plot.
Common varieties include:
By purchasing quality planting materials in specialized stores, you can be completely confident in the quality of the flowers planted in a flowerbed.
The gardener needs to remember that most varieties of oak trees are hybrids, respectively, it will be impossible to get seeds from them on their own. When choosing a particular variety, it is necessary to consider its size, flowering period, as well as the agrotechnology of cultivation.
This is a moisture-loving culture, so regular watering is required, which has a positive effect on ornamental plantings. When watering should be careful to ensure that water does not fall on the leaves, which can lead to sunburn. In summer, Korean chrysanthemum needs to be watered several times a month.
Annual pruning is done in spring and autumn. In the spring gardener will need to remove frozen and dried branches. In the autumn, before the onset of cold weather, the shrub is trimmed so as to leave small hemp with a height of about 15 centimeters. Subsequently, the autumn flower garden is mulched and covered with fir spruce branches. Next spring, provided proper care, chrysanthemum will quickly increase the green mass and soon bloom profusely.
When using fertile soil, the first feeding of oak trees should be carried out in the second year after planting. Potash-phosphate fertilizers are introduced into the ground, and before the beginning of the growing season, plants are fed with nitrogen-containing complexes. During the flowering period, to ensure maximum decoration, potash-phosphorus mineral complexes are also introduced. In the autumn, after flowering is over, you can water the shrub with a light solution of mullein and other organic matter. Experienced gardeners use for fertilizer specialized flower complexes called Gumi Omi, WMD floral and Aquamarine.
During the entire growing season, it will be necessary to regularly weed the beds and remove weeds. It is weeds that can contribute to the emergence of various infectious diseases, taking away food from the shrub, which greatly weakens the flowers.
It will also be necessary during the period of active growth to remove all lower leaves in a timely manner, which prevents the development of various diseases in the plant.

Plant propagation methods
Reproduction of oak trees is not particularly difficult, so even beginning gardeners will cope with such work. Plants can be propagated in the following ways:
- The division of the bushes.
- Cuttings.
- Seed propagation.
It is possible to divide bushes throughout the entire growing season. It is only necessary to dig out a part of the old rhizome, carefully separate the shoots with roots and transplant them to a new place. Planted such delenki necessary at a distance of 30 centimeters from each other.
The shoots of oak trees quickly form roots, which makes it easy to propagate such plants, obtaining the required number of cuttings. The cuttings are best performed in late summer and early fall. At home, the cuttings are planted in fertile soil, for several months the roots appear in the shoots and in the spring you can easily transplant their permanent place of residence.
Seed propagation is possible only with the use of purchased seeds, since their self-production of germination will be minimal, and grown flowers may not maintain their grade. The easiest way to plant seeds at home, providing seedlings greenhouse conditions. Subsequently, seedlings dive and transplant in separate containers, and as soon as the height of the seedlings reaches 20 centimeters, they can be transplanted into open ground in May. Flowering after transplantation begins at 4−5 month.
Chrysanthemums - some special fascinating world of flowers. They are so diverse that when you select them, your eyes just run. After all, each of them in their own beautiful and incomparable. These are so gentle and strict with it; fragile, at first glance, and assertively hard, self-confident flowers. No wonder they are called "oak trees". China is considered the birthplace of these flowers. Therefore, there is one more name for these flowers - the Chinese chrysanthemum.
As it is known, there are a lot of varieties of chrysanthemums. There are conditionally two types of chrysanthemums. This is a large-flowered. They look very beautiful in bouquets. These flowers love warmth. And therefore grow either in greenhouses, greenhouses or in the south. Such chrysanthemums are called Indian. The second type of chrysanthemum are Korean. They are grown in household plots, and in pots, as indoor plants.
Their color range is very diverse. These flowers grow as a shrub. This is a perennial plant. And another advantage for these colors is that they tolerate cold days, quite cold-resistant. Although in the winter they are still better covered from the cold. These plants are attracted by the attention of flower growers, because they are undemanding and easy to care for.
If it is decided that the chrysanthemum oak will grow on the land without shelter, then you need to anticipate that for the plant to be:
- enough sunshine
- windless side.
- The soil should be fairly light. Organic fertilizer and sand can lighten the soil if it is heavy. In the air and loose earth, which absorbs water well, the flower will be able to settle down faster and easier.
- For feeding oak trees it is better to use cow humus.
- Two weeks after planting the flowers, the first top dressing is made.
- If you want to extend the flowering time of chrysanthemums, you can use phosphate fertilizers. By the way, from this and the leaves of the plant will look greener, stronger and thicker.
- Potash phosphate fertilizers should be fed flowers during the formation of buds and during the entire flowering of oak trees.
- It is better to make foliar top dressing with nitrogen fertilizers.
- During irrigation water should not fall on the leaves of flowers.
- For beauty, you need time to cut the bushes.
Insects can also bring a lot of trouble to these beautiful flowers. To protect such beauty, it is necessary to get rid of aphids. This must be done before the formation of buds. Meadow bugs and spider mites also spoil oak trees. Pesticides are suitable for combating these pests.
In order for the flowers to winter calmly and not freeze, you need to care for them before the start of severe frosts. For this garden perennial chrysanthemum must be cut. And the ground around the bush need to pile up and treat humic substances. With the onset of frost, the bush is covered with branches of spruce or pine. It helps to protect the bush from wind, frost. Does not allow ingress of precipitation. Helps to keep a certain temperature. And rodents will not be able to get to the flowers.
If chrysanthemums, such as multiflora growing in a flowerpot, for example, are purchased in early autumn, then they should not be replanted. Just a cool room is very suitable for them. Well, it is necessary that the soil in the subsurfaces is constantly wet.
Reproduction and cultivation of oak trees
The best time for planting or transplanting flowers comes after the last frost and chill are over. For this event, the last spring month - May is ideal. Even the beginning of June will do. It is necessary to plant these flowers on higher sites.
Best of all, these flowers can be propagated by cuttings or individual parts of the bush, separated from the main bush.
It is necessary to determine the location and location of plants. Then prepare the ground. And if it is necessary to plant the previously grown cuttings, then it is preferable to transfer the cutting along with a clod of earth into the ground in order not to damage the root system of the plant. If the plants in the flowers were kept in a cool place, then they will need to stand in the open air for a week to be able to warm up. Plant small bushes of chrysanthemums at a distance of twenty centimeters.
Spray chrysanthemums grow very quickly. Over the season, they grow from planting cutting to a full-fledged bush. To give the bush a certain shape, you need to hold the shape. Pinch tops should be in early June. It is worthwhile to do transplanting and large chrysanthemum bushes, if they have been growing at the same place for three years. During the first year, after transplanting a bush to a new place, the ground around the bush should be loosened throughout the year. This is necessary for flowers, since young shoots will appear faster and the bush itself will be formed.
It is also possible in the autumn season to also transplant chrysanthemums, in the area where winters are not cold and there are no severe frosts. In such cases, it is necessary to transplant the cuttings before the first frosts. To do this, you need to dig a plant and prune old branches. Then separate the young.
Next, you need to prepare the soil, pre-fertilized it. In the holes should not be stagnant water. Then plant the young cuttings. And do not forget to water. Over time, we cover the flowers, saving them from the winter cold. To do this, you can use sawdust, peat, spruce, dry leaves. Large chrysanthemum bushes can also be transplanted into a suitable flower pot or a bucket, but do not damage the plant and root system. Leave the plant in a cool place. As soon as the shower starts to wilt, it will be necessary to cut the bush almost to the ground, leaving some fifteen centimeters. In this state, leave the plant until spring.
You can also try to grow chrysanthemums with seeds. In the photo you can pick up exactly those chrysanthemum seeds that you liked the most, and you want to dissolve at home. For sowing chrysanthemum seeds, it is necessary to prepare special boxes with the necessary soil. In February, in its last decade, or in March, it is necessary to sow flower seeds in special boxes, which need to be covered with glass from above.
In this way, the greenhouse effect is recreated. Seven days later sprouts appear. As soon as two leaves appear on the plant, it is necessary to immediately transplant the flowers into pots. Two months is enough for the plant to reach a height of up to twenty centimeters. Oak trees bloom five months after they are planted. In May, seedlings already planted in the open land. For planting a young flower in the ground, you must select the appropriate weather.
It may be an overcast, or even better rainy day. For planting flowers you need to make a trench. This is better than putting in the hole. The distance between seedlings can be from twenty to thirty-five centimeters, depending on what kind of flowers. After planting and watering the plant, nip is done, that is, the point of the flower sprout is removed. You can cover the seedlings and keep them under cover until you are sure that the flowers have begun.
These flowers are unique and amazing. Today, more than six hundred and fifty kinds of these flowers are known. These are varieties of pompon, feathery, bristly, spherical, anemone-like, short, semi-double and terry oaks. They are annual and perennial. Each of the varieties is interesting in its own way. And care for such flowers requires knowledge, diligence, desire and a great love of flowers.
It so happens that the chrysanthemum did not bloom. And the question immediately arises: why? And what to do? If by the fall your favorite chrysanthemum bush has not bloomed, it means that mistakes were made while caring for it. Typical errors include:
- lighting. Perhaps the sun's rays illuminated the plant less than seven hours a day. And this light was too little a flower. And perhaps that was brute force lighting. When the plant was under the rays of light for more than ten hours. The plant is tired of it.
- Pinching done at the wrong time may also be one of the reasons why chrysanthemums do not bloom.
- Lack of fertilizer. It is necessary to feed the plant with phosphorus or potassium. From the invasion of leafworms, slugs, caterpillars, the plant can be saved with ashes, mustard, herbal infusion, and chemical preparations.
- The same drugs can get rid of powdery mildew, leaf spot, rust, chlorosis.
- A very large amount of moisture leads to fungal diseases in plants.
- Viral diseases of plants lead to the fact that chrysanthemums began to wilt dramatically. At the same time, it is necessary to immediately dig up and burn the diseased bush.
- If chrysanthemums were grown in a greenhouse, then for the winter period they just need to dig.
- For the winter, you can not hide chrysanthemums in the room, which are adapted to the winter cold.
Interestingly, chrysanthemums, speaking the language of flowers, are considered a display of longevity. And if you were given these amazing flowers, then know that it was from a pure heart that they wished you long life. And it is worth a lot.
