Wherever you place the bushes of this phlox, be sure that bees and butterflies will constantly circle around.

This is a bush type of phlox, which belongs to the tall group. Paniculate phlox grows up to 1.2 m in height, depending on the variety, prefer moderate watering and well-drained soil.

3 Ways to reproduce a flower

Phlox can be propagated in several ways.

The simplest and most popular method used by gardeners is to divide older and older bushes.

Getting new plants by growing vertical shoots is relevant.

The method of propagation by cuttings is great even for inexperienced gardeners. Growing healthy shoots are cut during the period of active plant growth, in late spring. The bottom cut of the cutting is just below the first node, and the top cut is just above the second node. You can plant the stems in the ground or boxes with the addition of vermiculite, humus or peat. With active watering, the first shoots will appear after 3 weeks.

A more laborious way of propagating a plant is a leaf cutting. In this case, the leaf is cut along with the bud and part of the stem of the plant, transplanted into fertilized soil in a greenhouse or greenhouse. The complexity of this method is the need to pay increased attention when growing the cuttings, to cover shoots from direct sunlight, to protect them from decay and drought. After rooting, the cutting should be planted in the ground.

Seed propagation is a fairly simple option for obtaining new plants. It should be remembered that some varieties of phlox do not have good germination. The collection of seeds begins after the formation of seed pods on the trunks of the plants. The stems are cut and dried. The extraction of seeds is carried out immediately before sowing. It is better to carry out the procedure before the beginning of winter. Cover the sown grains with a thin layer of prepared soil.

When choosing a place for planting phlox, it is necessary to avoid swampy soil. To prevent adult stems from breaking, you should not place the bush in an open place where strong gusts of wind are possible. Some varieties can fade when exposed to direct sunlight. In the selected place, the snow cover should be sufficient so that the roots of the bush do not freeze.

4 Diseases and rules of care

Phloxes take organic and mineral supplements with pleasure. Peat, cow and horse manure, humus give the plant strength. When adding potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, you must strictly adhere to the instructions for use of the drug. With a lack of nutrients in the soil, the bushes become frail and are characterized by poor flowering. Weakened plants can be susceptible to diseases such as rust or powdery mildew.

Phloxes love abundant watering, but stagnant water should be avoided. It is not necessary to allow the root system to be exposed; periodically, it is necessary to spud the bush.Loosening the soil removes weeds and fills the soil with oxygen.
