Other types of primroses

The most popular among primroses is the Florinda primrose. This is one of the largest flowers. Peduncles reach over a meter in height. At their top there are falling umbrellas. They are created from a variety of buds that are bell-shaped. They often take on a yellowish orange hue. In nature, such a primrose grows near water bodies. This is due to the fact that the flower is very fond of moisture. Therefore, in order to grow a primrose at home, you need to observe abundant watering and high humidity.

Primrose rubra

Rubra primrose is no less popular. It is often called fine-toothed. The plant is distinguished by an extraordinary shape of inflorescences. In this primrose they are spherical. The buds are small. When opened, they can be burgundy, white, red. Inflorescences are located on a peduncle of a light green hue. Initially, it does not exceed 3 centimeters, but by the middle of flowering it already reaches 25 cm.

Pallas primrose

Pallas primrose is a medium flowering cultivar. The buds bloom in early May. The flowering period is about a month. Often the flowers are yellow. Like other species, they are collected in inflorescences. Deciduous plates are located near the root system. In nature, pallas primrose grows up to 30 centimeters high.

Sikkim primrose

If you want your flower bed to play with different colors throughout the summer, then primroses are what you need. By choosing the right varieties, you will certainly achieve the desired result.

Possible problems and diseases

The diseases that our heroine is susceptible to include: powdery mildew and gray rot. Control method: fungicides, for example, "Bordeaux mixture". When aphids attack, you need to treat the crown with an insecticide (for example, "Aktara"), and also add this solution under the rhizome. The spider mite is removed by repeated treatment with acaricides ("Aktellik" or others).

During the dormant period (winter, autumn), the leaves of the plant do not die off, but there are times when the stem itself dries up. Newbie flower growers, when detecting this sign, do not need to worry. You should leave the rhizome in the ground, occasionally watering. In the spring, the root will release new green shoots.

Thus, tropical coleria has long become a home plant and a favorite of many flower growers. She is unpretentious in care, looks great. Its exuberant, bright and lush bloom is able to delight others with its exotic beauty.

Calicant care

The shrub is unpretentious and requires minimal maintenance.Adult specimens can tolerate short-term drought, but young seedlings are sensitive to drying out of the soil. Regardless of the age of the plantings, watering during the heat period is increased.

Calycanthus chinensis

The chalice flower is characterized by good winter hardiness - adult plants can tolerate temperatures as low as -20-25 ° C, but severe frosts can seriously damage young shoots.

However, in the next 2-3 years after planting, young seedlings are recommended to be insulated with non-woven material for the winter, and a high layer of mulch or earth should be sprinkled at the roots. In the case of freezing of the above-ground parts, the shrub recovers well, replenishing the loss of shoots within 2-3 seasons.

Typically, Calicanthus responds well to pruning. To shape the plant and prevent overgrowth, prune it immediately after flowering.

In the spring, sanitary pruning is carried out - the weakest, damaged and dried shoots are removed, the thickened bush is thinned out so that there is access to air and light. Over time, shoots form near the calyx, which must also be periodically removed.

Insects rarely attack shrubs, as they are repelled by the essential oils contained in leaves, shoots and flowers. Of the diseases, powdery mildew can be noted, which develops in wet weather due to poor air circulation around the plant.

Calicant propagation by seeds

The plant reproduces in several ways. The simplest method is to sow seeds, which are harvested when the fruit begins to dry out. If you have harvested a green crop when the seed pods are fully developed, but before they have dried on the plant, you can plant them right away and expect to germinate after 3-4 weeks.

Hybrid of Chinese and flowering Calicantha Venus

If you wait until the pods and seeds are completely dry on the bush, germination can take from one to several months at 15 ° C. Such seed requires scarification.

Seeds that have been stored for some time (for example, part of fall and winter) will require 3 weeks to 3 months of cold stratification (in slightly damp sand in the refrigerator) before sowing in the spring.

Seed material is sown in a sand-peat mixture, lightly sprinkled with soil, which is kept moderately moist until germinated. Then watering as needed.

Calicantha seeds are unique, as they do not store energy reserves for germination - inside the seed shell there are tiny cotyledon leaves, tightly twisted in a spiral. As they germinate, they unfold to collect solar energy for further growth.

Relatively huge cotyledons quickly make up for the lack of stored reserves, and true leaves and stems sprout through their middle. Grown seedlings at the stage of 3-4 true leaves are dived and planted in separate pots.

Seedlings ready to be transplanted into separate pots

In open ground, seedlings are planted in late spring or summer in a warm and sunny place. In winter, they require mandatory protection from the cold. The bush blooms after about 3-4 years of cultivation.

Vegetative propagation

For vegetative propagation, cuttings, shoots or green cuttings are used. In the first case, a superficial incision is made on the lower part of the lateral shoot, tilted and fixed with wire in a small trench, covered with fertile soil, leaving the top above the ground.

Separated from the mother plant in the spring of the following year, when the cuttings form roots at the incision site.

The shoots with part of the root are separated from the bush and transplanted to a new place. Cutting is a more complex method. Green cuttings are cut in June and rooted in a soil-sand mixture. To maintain high humidity, they are covered with a transparent bag, which is removed after the start of new growth.

Home care

Coleria is unpretentious, not capricious. It blooms very profusely. It looks amazing.In a city apartment, you can achieve excellent flowering and beautiful appearance of the flower.

Lighting

Any exotic culture requires bright sunlight throughout the year. With a lack of light, the shoots of coleria weaken, become thinner, the twigs sag. You should also protect the plant from sunlight.

Temperature

Optimum temperature from March to November: + 18-22 ° С. At the height of the growing season, which comes in summer, it is better to keep the plant at a temperature of + 20-25 ° C, but not in the sun, but in a lace shade.

If in winter the part that is above the ground dies off, the plant should be moved to a cool place and watered infrequently so that the rhizome does not dry out.

Attention! It is necessary to gradually change the climate in the room where the plant is located. A sharp temperature drop or a reduction in watering will have a detrimental effect on the culture.

Watering

Water the plant with warm, settled water. In the spring-summer period, watering should be carried out in moderation, with the arrival of autumn - less.

In the winter season, koleriya is rarely watered. The air around the bush is humidified with a spray bottle. You can put a bowl of water next to the pot.

Please note! It is not necessary to spray this culture, since its velvety flowers and leaves cannot stand moisture.

Top dressing

You need to feed koleriya in spring and summer, when the plant is in a state of flowering. For this, a liquid complex fertilizer is bought in a flower shop.

Top dressing is applied to the ground once a month. In the autumn and winter, the bush is not fed.

Transfer

With the onset of spring, you should carefully consider the rhizome and plant the newly appeared shoots.

Colorado is grown in shallow, but wide containers, since its root does not deepen, but grows on the sides.

The substrate is bought in the store, or it is prepared on its own.

It usually consists of the following components:

peat land;
deciduous humus;
turf;
river sand.

Drainage is required. Before use, the soil must be neutralized from microbes by treating with a manganese solution.

Description of varieties

It is difficult to find publicly available information on the exact number of primrose varieties. Considering that this plant has become popular among flower growers, one can imagine how many different varieties there are now in the world. But there are varieties that are more common among ornamental plants.

Most often, seeds of different varieties are sold as a mixture of different colors. In one package of seeds, several varieties of the same variety are usually mixed. Differences between them in terms of color can only be found when all the bushes bloom.

"Matryoshka"

Home care for Scherzer's Anthurium

Temperature

Anthurium is a resident of the tropics, therefore it prefers warmth. Optimal for spring and summer - 22-25 degrees. In the autumn - winter period, the temperature should be lower - 15-17 degrees. This will facilitate the setting of buds.

Light

The plant loves bright but diffused light. It can be in partial shade for a long time, and direct sunlight is destructive for it.

With a lack of light, flowering does not occur. The flower dries up under the hot sun. You can't keep a pot of Anthurium in a draft - it can't stand it.

Air humidity

Anthurium is preferable to grow at high air humidity, which is unacceptable for humans. An additional humidifier, such as a decorative fountain, can be placed next to the plant. Several times a day in a dry room, the leaves should be wiped with a damp cloth

It is necessary to spray carefully, not getting on the cobs.

Watering

A moisture-loving flower should be watered every 3 days with warm water with a low acidity level. In winter - after 3-4 weeks. Watering should be regular but moderate. Stagnant water, as well as its lack, can destroy Anthurium.

Priming

The soil for the flower should be slightly acidic, easily breathable and absorbent. Moreover, it should dry well. For her, they take sod land, peat and chopped moss, mix and pour into a pot, which is 1/3 filled with drainage. Sometimes coarse sand or fine gravel is used instead of moss.

Planting and transplanting

Having bought Anthurium, you need to plant it within a few days.

All manipulations are carried out with extreme caution, trying not to damage fragile roots.

The pot should not be too small or too large.

The roots should be comfortable to grow, but at the same time the free space in the pot delays flowering, because intensive growth of the green mass begins.

The first 4 years of life, the flower must be transplanted every year in spring or summer. Older plants are transplanted after 3-4 years to replace the depleted soil or into a larger container.

Fertilizers

For feeding, you should buy organic and mineral fertilizers in the store. They should be alternated with each other, introducing the solution into the soil in spring and summer every 2-3 weeks.In winter, the plant does not need to be fertilized.

Hyacintoides planting and care in the open field

Endymion loves light, sandy soils and loams with a pH of 6.1 to 6.5. It can bloom on other soil, but under such conditions it gives maximum flowering.

The most convenient planting option is bulbs. They are buried in the ground after September 18-20. In the southern regions, planting is possible in mid-October. You need to choose a place where there is enough sunlight.

If an undescribed variety is used, then it takes root well in partial shade (it is considered a less whimsical species). Here are some tips for landing:

the bulbs should be buried to a depth of 10 to 30 cm;
the site needs to be prepared - break up lumps of earth, loosen and dig well (a week before planting);
hyacintoids grows most beautifully if planted interspersed with other plants, chaotically, and not in rows;
chaotic planting will prevent the formation of bald spots in the flower beds;
the distance between the bulbs is 8-10 cm - this is necessary for the normal development of plants over the next years;
after planting, you need to shed water well, but puddles should not appear;
when the plant fades, the leaves are kept on the ground (they nourish the roots).
Garden rodents do not like hyacintoids - it strongly scares them away. A great reason to plant next to vulnerable crops!
