Reproduction methods

For tree hydrangea, gardeners use several breeding methods.

Cuttings

Cuttings are cut in the fall during a sanitary cut. At the top of the stems, the strongest branches with several leaves and buds are chosen. The shoots of the current year that have not bloomed have the best survival rate. The optimal length is 15-20 cm.

In the lower part, all the foliage is removed, then dipped into one of the growth stimulants for an hour. After this time, they are planted in a light, loose and well-moistened mixture of peat and sand. The embedding depth is 3-4 cm. Each stalk is covered with a half of a transparent plastic bottle to create a greenhouse effect.

Before the onset of persistent cold weather, the seedlings are covered with burlap or agrofibre. When grown in a harsh climatic zone, it is better to dig them up, transplant them into pots. In May, when the threat of return frosts has passed, it should be returned to its former habitat in the open field.

Stem layering

Hydrangea pink anabel reproduces successfully by layering. An adult shrub with good branching is chosen. A shallow trench (5-6 cm) is dug next to it. Sprinkle with a mixture of peat, sand and humus (1: 1: 1). Pick the most flexible branch close to the ground. Remove all the leaves on it, lower them horizontally into the groove, pin them with staples. Sprinkle the twig with the remaining fertile soil, watered.

A week before persistent cold weather, cover with fallen leaves, coniferous sawdust or spruce branches. This will create additional protection against freezing in winter.

With the arrival of spring, when the snow thaws and the heat of the street stabilizes, the branch is dug up, cut off from the mother bush. Divided into several parts with roots, planted on the site according to the above described scheme.

By dividing the bush

This method is applied to old plants that need rejuvenation. You can determine that the bush needs to be rejuvenated by its general condition - it stops growing, blooms poorly, or does not release inflorescences at all.

First, the hydrangea is watered abundantly, after an hour it is carefully dug in to prevent injury to the roots. Remove, rinse the root system under running water. Allow to dry a little, then divide with a garden shovel into several parts

It is important that each delenka has 2-3 shoots and a root

To avoid infection, the cut sites are treated with copper sulfate, after drying, they are seated on the site.

Daylily 'Spotted Fever'

This is a terry daylily with a special structure and unusual color. Triangular flowers with a fancifully twisted center and an almost green throat conquer with their almost graphic ripple effect: on a whitish-peach, very delicate background, crimson-purple ripples from the smallest strokes appear. Internal combs look surprisingly elegant. The height of the peduncles is about half a meter, the clumps are semi-evergreen. Leaves are numerous, collected in a very beautiful dense clump. This is one of the most abundantly flowering daylilies - a small masterpiece of nature, from which it is impossible to take your eyes off.

Description of lily Purpl Prince

• height from 1.2 m to 2.5 m;
• extremely powerful peduncle;
• the number of flowers on an adult bush ranges from 20 to 30;
• early growing season;
• the flower is resistant to low temperatures;
• disease resistant;
• adaptability to acidic soils;
• intense aroma.

Because of its tall stature, the Prince Purpl lily is often referred to as a tree. This was the first time the Dutch used this definition to advertise a new variety. Later, the Canadians, the authors of the hybrid, registered the variety as a trademark, calling it "lily-tree". Such an interpretation from the point of view of botany cannot be correct. Lily belongs to the Liliaceae family and is not a tree.

With the help of the description and photo of the blooming Purple Prince, you can evaluate the aesthetic characteristics of lily flowers:

• cupped shape;
• diameter from 18 cm to 30 cm;
• the petals are glossy, satin, slightly curled;
• the color of the petals is deep, monochromatic, burgundy-violet (purple);
• lack of rays, specks, borders;
• the closed bud is almost black.

Purple Prince is often used in landscaping, for decorating a summer garden. The giant lily breaks all stereotypes.

Fuchsia Dollar Princesses

It is not for nothing that this beautiful, neat plant has received such a name. He can be called a princess for restraint (average length, about 30 cm, and medium-sized flowers) and excellent appearance. The semi-ampel form is most often grown in the form of a bush with shoots hanging down.

Flowers are small, double. The sepals are light red, the skirt is deep purple. Early flowering, long lasting (April-October).

Variety Dollar Princess

There are many other varieties, for example, fuchsia Marinka, fuchsia Pichi, fuchsia General, etc. Plants can be perennial (most often) and annual, bright and nude shades. The fuchsia flower is such that it is impossible to tell everything about the flower. Everyone will be able to choose a plant that suits him. Due to the variety of sizes and colors of flowers, it is impossible to tell and summarize everything about this species. But they are all uniquely beautiful, bright and unusual.

Requirements for conditions

In order for the hydrangea to actively grow and bloom magnificently, it is necessary to provide it with optimal conditions. Among them are the illumination, soil, moisture and other indicators. First of all, you need to find a place for the shrub. In this case, the error can become fatal, since the plant will not be able to show all its beauty and brightness in unfavorable conditions. Do not choose a shaded area for planting. Pink Annabelle stretches towards the sun, so there should be enough light for it. However, you should protect it from direct sunlight. Therefore, diffused lighting will be ideal.

Partial shade cannot destroy the flower, but it will grow more slowly, and the owners of the site are unlikely to please with the maximum lush flowering. Those that are much taller and more powerful should not be located next to the plant. They will not only block the light, but also draw off the bulk of the moisture, and a lack of water can also badly affect hydrangeas. For tree varieties, temperature and humidity indicators are not too important. They are frost-resistant. At the same time, drafts can cause significant damage to the plant, so they should be avoided. As for the soil, it should be fertile and slightly acidic. Transplants will not do the hydrangea to the advantage, so the place should be determined for sure.

Caring for the Purple Prince plant at home

Lilies Purpl Prince are very delicate, but rather picky flowers. It is a pleasure to look after them. The main thing is to do everything on time and not overdo it. Well-organized care does not take long.

Lighting, temperature and humidity

Unlike their eastern parents, who prefer partial shade, Prince Purple feels great in the sun. And it is not so easy to shade such a rather big flower. Rather, it shades the rest of the plants with its sweep. Therefore, the Prince's bulbs are often planted along the walls, leaving room for other flowers.

This type of lily is very resistant to temperature changes.But flowering occurs only when the mark on the thermometer rises above the level of +20.

The flower is normally adapted to our weather and feels great in a temperate continental climate.

All lilies prefer moderate humidity. From a large amount of moisture, the flowers rot, from a small amount they dry. Therefore, in caring for them, it is necessary to maintain a balance. In addition to systematic watering, all lilies, and the Prince in particular, do not need moisture.

Watering

The Purple Prince is watered as needed, without flooding or allowing the earth cake. The optimal irrigation formula is as follows:

• from germination to budding - 0.5 l of water every other day;
• for the period of bud formation - 0.75 liters every day;
• for the flowering period - 0.5 liters every day;
• from wilting flowers to cutting off the stem - 0.5 liters every 3 days;
• for the winter, moisture is stopped.

Purple Prince, like most flowers, it is advisable to water in the morning, during active metabolic processes. Ideally, they use settled rainwater, but this variety is not picky about water, so you can safely use resources from garden hoses.

Top dressing

The Purple Prince is thrilled with organic fertilizers. The best food for him is humus, compost and ash. But manure is completely contraindicated for these flowers. Organic matter is introduced 3 times a year, in the amount of 8 kg of fertilizer per 1 sq. m of soil.

Mineral fertilizers are an alternative complementary food. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium work well. Classic complementary foods are produced three times:

1. After the soil has completely dried out from melted snow, a solution of ammonium nitrate is introduced. To do this, dissolve 1 liter of the product in 10 liters of water per 1 sq. m.
2. During the formation of buds, the drug Azofosk is administered in the same proportion.
3. After the lily has faded, it is fertilized with a solution of superphosphate and potassium magnesium. 2 tbsp. l. superphosphate is mixed with 1.5 tbsp. l. potassium magnesium and dissolved in 10 liters of water. The solution is designed for 1 sq. m of soil.

For the winter period, feeding is stopped.

Provided that the soil is replenished three times a day, fertilizers are not used when planting and transplanting flowers. To increase the flowering period, it is allowed to use stimulants once a year.

Preparing for winter

The Purple Prince is a very hardy variety. These flowers can withstand temperatures down to -35 ° C. Therefore, they are not dug up in the fall, leaving them to winter in the open field. Preparing giant lilies for winter includes the following points:

Trimming the trunk. Too high a stem will conduct cold air, and too short will delay the process of spring shoots.
Warming. The lilies are covered with a 10 cm layer of compost. Such a blanket not only protects from the cold, but also nourishes the sleeping bulb.
Dehydration. In winter, the Purpl Prince variety does not need watering. Excess moisture provokes rotting of the root system

Therefore, it is important to remove melted snow from the site in time and prevent water flows directed to the flower bed. Some growers add plastic wrap to the area during the thaw.

In winter, the Prince rests. And the quality of its flowering depends on how well it rests. Autumn care will be rewarded with lovely purple flowers.
