Hosta "lakeside paisley print": description and cultivation

Please help with translation:

Giving a definition of the term “comedy”, one may face some difficulties as it’s one of the most complex categories of aesthetics. Comedy is historically volatile, it depends on the context and has a social nature. The laughter is not always a sight of comedy, and comedy is not always defined by laughter. It is circumstances, sharpening the contradictions and helping to reveal its social nature

Reproduction

Hosts for planting either buy or propagate by cuttings, seeds, or share the bushes growing in the garden.

Dividing the hosts bush. Before starting work on dividing the bush, it is well watered

Then the plant is carefully dug up and divided into several parts.

Important! Each part of the hosts should have 1-2 leaf sockets. Landing immediately in a permanent place

Reproduction of hosts by cuttings. In summer, young shoots are separated from the bush by the hosts (the condition is that the shoots must be with a heel). The leaves of the shoots are cut off (by about 1/3), planted in the shade and must be covered (you can cover with a plastic bottle). Water daily until the cuttings take root.

Reproduction by seeds. Growing a hosta from seeds is not easy at all. Firstly, the germination rate of hosta seeds is 70-80 percent, and secondly, plants grown from seeds will fully form only after five years.

Important! Treat the seeds correctly before sowing. Hosta seeds are treated with growth stimulants

To do this, the seeds are soaked for half an hour in Epin or Kornevin. Containers are prepared, drainage and soil mixture are poured into them and watered with a weak solution (pink) of potassium permanganate. Hosta seeds are scattered over the surface of the soil, sprinkled with earth, slightly press the soil with your hands. Then the containers are covered with glass or transparent plastic wrap and placed in a warm (18-25 degrees) and not dark place. At this time, remove condensation from the film or glass, water only as it dries. As soon as shoots appear, the containers are transferred to a lighter place (windowsill on the sunny side)

When 2-3 leaves appear on the seedlings, the plants are dived.

  1. Watering, weeding, loosening, adding compost, mulching with humus;
  2. Young arrows of flowers are cut off (so that the bush is compact and does not fall apart) and all old leaves are removed from the plants;
  3. From the main bush, after 3-4 years, young daughter shoots are separated so that the bush is neat and does not grow much;
  4. Feeding is carried out with mineral fertilizers (nitrogen, potash, phosphorus) no more than 3 times a year.

Reproduction

To obtain young hosta plants, you can use the following propagation methods:

  • cuttings;
  • dividing the bush;
  • using seeds.

Dividing a bush is the most popular breeding method. In order to obtain planting material by dividing the bush, it is necessary to water the mother plant abundantly and very carefully dig it up. The extracted flower must be divided into several identical parts with a sharp garden tool, which will later become the planting material. A prerequisite is the presence of at least 2 sheet rosettes in each part.

Cuttings - obtaining planting material from young shoots. To obtain new plants, it is necessary to cut off the required number of cuttings from the mother plant during the summer, along with a small part of the trunk.Cut off shoots must be planted on a prepared bed with nutritious and moist soil and create a greenhouse effect around them. Novice gardeners should be careful to ensure that the soil near the flowers always remains loose and moist.

The seed propagation method is practically not used by ordinary gardeners due to its low efficiency and laboriousness of the process. This method is popular only with breeders. A distinctive feature is the ability to plant a plant in a permanent place of growth only 5 years after seed germination. If, nevertheless, the gardener has a desire to grow a flower from seeds, then he must adhere to the following technology:

  • pre-planting treatment of seed material with growth stimulants;
  • disinfection of containers and soil with a solution of potassium permanganate;
  • placement of seeds on the surface of the soil and a small dusting of them with earth;
  • creating a greenhouse effect;
  • placement of landing containers in a warm and dark room;
  • carrying out regular watering.

See below for more details.

Pests

1. Slugs are the main host pests.

Signs

  • Silvery footprints on the leaves;
  • Small holes in the leaf blades.

Methods

  • Cleanliness in the garden area (remove construction waste);
  • Place containers with beer under the plants and remove slugs a day later;
  • Spread the "Thunderstorm" preparation under the hosts, then collect the slugs;
  • Tobacco dust treatment.

2. Stem nematodes.

Signs

  • Leaves have yellow spots;
  • Worms (finely chop the hosta leaves and fill them with water for half an hour, then you can see small worms in the light).

Methods

If stem nematodes appear on the plant, then it must be destroyed, as well as all plants within a radius of two meters must be destroyed.

The best hosts of the last decade

Adding an article to a new collection

The American Hosta Breeders Association is part of Walters Gardens, a leading national breeder and exporter of ornamental perennials. For over 70 years they have been growing and supplying thousands of beautiful plants to the world market.

And not only grow and supply. Every year the American Hosta Growers Association chooses the very best host - the brightest, the most unusual, the memorable - and presents it with a resounding title and the title of “Host of the Year”. These plants belong to the premium class - they are suitable for most climatic zones, look very impressive, retain their decorative effect for a long time, demonstrate increased resistance to the vagaries of the weather and pests.

We bring to your attention the winners of this award over the past decade - and you look at your site and see if your aesthetic tastes are similar to those of American gardeners.

1.Description - how it looks

Hosta or funkia is an ornamental-leaved perennial herb. The richness of colors and excellent resistance to a wide variety of living conditions have made the hosta very popular in floriculture. Plants have large leaf blades that form a leaf rosette

The shape, color and size of the leaves are highly variable. In shape, the leaves can be lanceolate and rather narrow; in some species, the entire leaf blades can be rounded. There are varieties with gracefully curved leaves.

Leaf veins are often pronounced and slightly recessed into the surface of the leaf plates, arched.

The color of the leaves can include all shades of green, varieties with yellow and white stripes or leaf blades painted in a blue tint are often found. In autumn, the leaves can turn into a pleasant, bright, golden yellow hue.

In the summer months, erect peduncles with delicate bell-shaped flowers in shades of lilac, pink and white are an additional decoration of the bushes. In some species, the buds can be colored bright red.

Sometimes, during the flowering period, the plants emit a very pleasant, rich aroma, reminiscent of jasmine or gardenia. This fragrance will be strongest in the evening hours of the night.

The name "funkia" was the original name of the flower and was given in honor of the botanist Heinrich Christian Funk. Later, at the beginning of the 20th century, the plant was renamed and named again in honor of the scientist - Austrian botanist and physician N. T. Host.

Interestingly, the young leaves of the plant are considered edible and are used as food by the people of Japan. They are added to salads or used to prepare second courses. It is believed that the leaves taste like a regular salad or asparagus shoots. For pets, the hosta can become poisonous - when eating its leaves, animals may experience symptoms of poisoning.

Funkia came from Asia to Europe at the beginning of the 18th century. The fact is that the export of a flower from the territory of China was prohibited for a long time and it was possible to do this only secretly.

Height. Plant height is highly variable and can range from 15 cm in the smallest varieties and species to 100 - 120 cm in large plants. For the convenience of gardeners, there is even a size classification. On the packaging with plants, you can find English letters meaning the height of the bush:

  • D - Dwarf - plants whose height does not exceed 10 cm;
  • Mini - 10 - 15 cm.;
  • S - Small - bushes from 16 to 25 cm.;
  • M - Medium - 25 - 50 cm high;
  • L - Large - the height of the bush ranges from 51 to 70 cm.;
  • G - Giant - hosts - giants with a height of more than 70 cm.

In addition, such letter codes are used by all seedling growers when describing the variety.

Hosta 2020 Dancing Queen

Hosta Dancing Queen is a sport from Split Personality.

It has a vase-shaped bush, collected from light lemon-yellow leaves with a corrugated surface and a wavy edge, almost not turning green over time. In spring, the leaves are very delicate and easily mechanically damaged; by summer they coarse.

The plant is a rare bush up to 50-60 cm high. It grows well, not capricious in care, practically not susceptible to diseases, winter-hardy.

It blooms in July-August with graceful light lavender flowers, collected in a brush on long bare peduncles.

Prefers slightly shaded areas, although it can grow in the shade and in the light.

Check, and maybe a "medalist" host has settled in your garden long ago, but you don't even know!

If you have not yet decided on the type and variety of host that you would like to see on your site, we offer you a detailed "guide" to the fascinating world of these perennials.
