Hebe plant in the open field reproduction and possible difficulties

Characteristic features of the breed

The peculiarity of chickens is their color. Translated from Chinese, the name "uheyiluy" means 5 black (comb, feathers, skin, bones, meat) and 1 green (eggs). But high-breed chickens are not completely black, they should have a glossy green tint in the plumage and purple in the lobes, crest and front of the head.

Exterior:

• the shape of the body can be described as compact;
• the tail is elongated;
• developed chest and wings;
• the plumage is dense, under the feathers there is a thick downy cover;
• black skin;
• big black eyes;
• leaf-shaped 5-toothed ridge, more than in other breeds;
• earrings are strongly pronounced;
• feet of medium size, firm, black-gray in color.

An adult chicken weighs about 1.5 kg, a rooster up to 2 kg.

How to distinguish geyherella from geyhera or tiarella

The most common question asked by flower growers is how to distinguish Heucherella from Heuchera or Tiarella. Let's try to understand this issue using the example of those hybrids that grow in my garden, and find out what kind of character they have. Geyherellas can be distinguished from geyher by inflorescences. Heycherella 'Chocolate' In most cases, heycherells are larger than tiarells, but inferior to many heycherells. Hybrids are so much similar in appearance to Heuchera that one can be distinguished from others only by the inflorescences, which are typical of thiarellas and resemble miniature brush-brooms with star-shaped snowflake flowers on low, stable peduncles. Often, online auto-translators give out the word "geyherella" - "fluffy bells". Such a funny mistake of technical translation from English clearly characterizes the flowering of hybrids.
Many Heycherellas are distinguished by abundant and long flowering. At the beginning of summer, snow-white or pink foam with delicate openwork covers flower beds with Heycherellas. Mass planting of one or more varieties is especially effective.

The blooming curtain of hybrids invariably attracts attention in any garden and leaves few people indifferent to the touching holiday of "fluffy bells". Many Heycherellas are distinguished by abundant and long flowering.

Geyherella ‘Rosalie’
Unfortunately, the abundance of flowering does not bring joy to hobbyists who are passionate about growing plants from seeds. Hybrids do not set seeds, their flowers are sterile. And this is another of the main differences between Heycherell and their parents.

Mr. Tail recommends: varieties

Gyrinoheilus as a species include many varieties, but in modern aquarism there are usually only 5-6 of the most popular.

Ordinary Girinoheilus

Gyrinocheilus aymonieri mostly lives in the Chinese northern rivers, as well as in some other bodies of water in Southeast Asia.

The body of the fish is long and elongated, with a flat stomach and an arched back. The color may contain yellow, gray, olive, brown colors. Moreover, each scale has an original edging, and there are dark spots on the main background.

Siamese Girinoheilus

SAE is found in the waters of Thailand, in nature it grows more than 30 cm in length. Coloring is most often in yellow-orange tones, there may be dark markers, a longitudinal carbon strip on the body is required. This species of Algae Eater has a slightly different mouth shape and has a pair of black spine tendrils.

Chinese Algae Eaters

Chinese Algae Eater is often confused with SAE, but these species are quite different from each other and, first of all, in nature they live in different habitats.

The color of the Chinese variety is dominated by olive, brown and gray tones, dark spots are scattered around the background, there are two holes on the gill covers.

The original shape of the sucker allows the fish, feeding on a mixture of algae, bacteria and detritus (periphyton), as well as insect larvae and zooplankton, to grow rapidly and gain weight.

Moreover, the juveniles are completely herbivorous, the need for protein food appears from the period of adolescence. If the pets in the aquarium are not given live food, they can attach their suction cups to the bodies of their neighbors.

Golden Girinoheilus

They are yellowish or pinkish, with a golden tint. There is no longitudinal black stripe on the body, but there may be dark spots, which are sometimes arranged in a line-like scattering.

Girinoheilus Albino

This is the color (melanin-free) form of the main natural species of the Algae Eater. The white body has a pinkish tint without markings.

Marble Girinoheilus

Also color variation of natural isomorphs. The background color can be different (usually milk chocolate), and the dark markings are arranged in a bizarre way, resembling a pattern on marble. The tail is most often lyre-shaped.

Planting and caring for heuchera in the open field

In order for the Heuchera seeds to retain their germination, they are stored in a closed container in a cool place (in the refrigerator, cellar). Planting Heuchera seeds for seedlings is carried out in the second half of March or in April. The soil is preliminarily prepared - the earth is mixed with sand or perlite. The grown seedlings are hardened before planting in open ground. Seedlings are planted in flower beds in June.

Heucher bushes gradually grow and fall apart, and in the center of the rhizomes protrude above the ground, which leads to the fact that the plant suffers from frost and bright sun. Mulching helps to counter this. In the fall, it is recommended to sprinkle the heucher bushes with compost so that the rhizomes are at a greater depth and many shoots appear in the spring. Also, the leaves of overgrown bushes become smaller, and the number of shoots decreases. These are signs that it is time to separate the bush. Planting geychera and caring for it in the open field in the future is not difficult, since the culture is not particularly demanding on the soil and environmental conditions.

Seedlings dive when 2-3 true leaves appear in boxes or ridges. They are planted in the ground in late May - early June, with a distance between seedlings up to 20 cm. They are covered with foliage for the winter. Young plants bloom in the third year.

It is better to divide the bushes in the spring, in May, but it is also possible in late summer - early autumn. On clay soils, during autumn planting, plants can freeze out in winter, especially with a significant division of rhizomes. Each division should have at least five well-developed buds and roots. It is recommended to divide the bush by hand, without the use of tools.

The stems are cut before flowering or immediately after it, using rooting stimulants.

Watch how the Heuchera planting is carried out in the video, which shows the whole process:

For distillation, well-developed 2-year-old plants grown from seeds are selected. In September, they are dug out of the ground, planted in pots with sod-humus soil, watered and left in a shaded place. With the onset of a stable cold snap, they are transferred to a cool room or cold greenhouse. After freezing, the soil is covered with tree leaves or spruce paws and left in a greenhouse until the end of December, then brought into a room with a temperature of + 10 ° and begins to water and spray with warm water. After a week, the plants start to grow. On a sunny window, they bloom in March, throwing out 3-4 openwork panicles. After flowering, heuchera is planted in the ground, and for subsequent distillation, the material is prepared from seeds.

Application of Heuchera.

The rhizomes contain tannins.

The Cherokee tribe uses the plant for dysentery.

Powdered roots are sprinkled with malignant ulcers, the infusion is washed with difficult and long healing ulcers. Infusion of rhizomes with roots is taken for complaints in the intestines, hemorrhoids, excessive menstruation.Infusion of the underground part rinse the oral cavity with sores. Many Indian tribes use the roots as a powerful astringent and also as a tonic. A decoction of rhizomes and roots is used for pain in the stomach. Raw roots are eaten for indigestion. Crushed leaves are used as a healing agent for wounds and ulcers.

Garden blue-eyed

Sisyurinhiy will complement a flower bed or become an independent decoration in any front garden. The height of the flower reaches 20 centimeters, and it blooms in late spring - early summer. Duration of flowering is a month. Susirinhia stems grow as high as leaves, and at the top they bear bunches of blue-blue flowers, with a yellow center. Flowers up to two centimeters in diameter.

The main color of sisyurinhia is blue, but there are specimens that are white, yellow and purple. There are annual relatives of this flower, as well as variegated species. Inflorescences can be in the form of an umbrella or an ear.

The main growing area is North and South America. Later, these flowers were seen in European territory and spread in Russia. The flower does not tolerate the cold, but under cover it may well overwinter. Frosts can withstand short-term, no more than -8 C.

Diseases and pests

If the conditions of detention are violated, some diseases common among the representatives of birds may develop.

The poultry farmer should pay attention to the following signs so as not to miss the first symptoms:

• decreased or complete lack of appetite;
• unusual behavior, discoordination of movements;
• loss of activity, the bird is standing in one place, the head is lowered or retracted, in younger individuals, wings may drop;
• lack of response to external stimuli;
• swelling of the crest and earrings;
• shortness of breath, coughing, sneezing;
• change in the consistency and color of stool.

The most common chicken diseases:

• Infectious. The cause of infection is microorganisms, which multiply secrete toxins, thereby poisoning the host's body. Chicken can become infected from wild birds and animals, people, infected poultry. Diseases should be treated under the supervision of a veterinarian. Only a specialist will be able to determine the nature of the disease and prescribe the necessary drugs.
• Non-infectious. Caused as a result of improper conditions of detention or mechanical impact of external factors. Such diseases include:
  • trauma;
  • exposure to heat, cold, electricity, atmospheric pressure and precipitation;
  • avitaminosis;
  • baldness - loss of feathers due to pecking or lack of vitamins.

    You can get rid of these diseases by improving the living conditions and balancing the diet, supplementing it with vitamin and mineral complexes.

• Parasitic. This group includes diseases caused by the defeat of poultry by small parasites, such as:
  • Helminths. Internal invasion is accompanied by loss of activity, diarrhea, and deterioration in appearance.
  • Ticks. Small insects that feed on the bird's blood, draining it. The disease is manifested by restless behavior, refusal to lay in the usual place, small wounds can be discerned on the skin. Control includes the use of insecticides (Pyrethrium, Ecoflees) and disinfection of the chicken coop.
  • Puff lice and lice. Less scary than ticks, but also bring inconvenience to the bird - it becomes restless, egg production decreases, it constantly itches. With severe damage, anemia develops. You can detect it visually - by carefully examining the bird and nests. To get rid of, Beafar, Frontline, Bars are used. The litter in the hen house and nests is replaced with a new one, the old one is burned.

Landing

Due to the fact that this type of pine is considered frost-resistant and unpretentious, it is well suited for growing in garden plots. Experienced gardeners advise planting pine trees in the spring (April - May) or autumn (September - October). It is best to plant grown three or five year old seedlings in containers with a closed root system, although you can sow the plant with seeds.

Planting seedlings is carried out in this way:

1. It is necessary to choose a spacious, bright place, remove all weeds on it, along with the roots.
2. The soil should be well-drained, lightweight, with good air permeability and moderate humidity, with the occurrence of groundwater no higher than 1.5 m, because with stagnant water, the root system of the plant rots.
3. At the chosen place, dig a hole 80-100 cm deep and 60 cm wide, there should be a distance of 4 m between the holes.
4. It is necessary to make drainage about 20 cm thick, add gravel and crushed stone to the bottom of the depression, then add fertile soil with compost (15–20 kg), superphosphate (150 g), pour plenty of water (10 l).
5. Lower the seedling together with a lump of earth into the hole (the root collar should be at ground level), sprinkle it with dug soil, lightly tamp it, water again. When the liquid is absorbed, you can cover the near-trunk circle with mulch (sawdust, hay, bark).

Seed planting is carried out as follows:

1. First of all, the seeds must be prepared (stratified). To do this, they must be soaked in water at room temperature, kept in it for about 3 days, then drain the liquid, let them dry a little (to make it easier to sow). Mix sand, soil for conifers, peat in equal proportions, place seeds in a container, sprinkle with soil (about 1 cm), moisten, cover with a plastic bag, place in a refrigerator or basement with a temperature of 0 ° to + 5 ° C for two months ... From time to time you need to remove the package, ventilate a little, and moisten the soil.
2. In the spring, seeds can be sown.
3. In the open ground, you need to make a moat at a prepared place with a depth of one and a half bayonets of a shovel, fill it with a mixture of fertile soil and sand (2: 1), make a small groove 3-4 cm deep, sow seeds, cover with sand, water. For the first 7–10 days, it is necessary to frequently irrigate the sowing in order to avoid drying out the soil, after watering it is reduced.
4. Young shoots should be protected from direct sunlight: they can be shaded a little artificially or covered with agrofibre.
5. After two years, the pines can be planted in a permanent place.

Types and varieties of heuchera

The genus Heuchera has about 70 species. Many of them grow naturally in the forests and woodlands of the highlands of Mexico and the United States. Conventionally, the types of geychera are divided into mountain and forest ones. We will introduce you to the most popular species and varieties among gardeners, which are used in landscape design and for breeding new varieties.

Heuchera blood-red (Heuchera sanguinea)

Refers to mountain species. She has green leaves and bright red flowers. Americans call it a red bell. The leaves of blood-red heuchera, forming a rosette, are much denser than other species, they are round and jagged. Some varieties of this species are distinguished by beautiful white or creamy specks on the leaves. Peduncles reach a height of 50 cm. This type of cold-resistant, therefore, is so popular with our gardeners. The most famous varieties are Monet, Variegata, Hercules.

Heuchera hairy (Heuchera villosa)

Differs in large leaves with a velvety surface and pubescent peduncles and cuttings, which is why it got its name. The Bronze Wave variety has the largest leaves up to 20 cm in diameter, bronze in color, and Rachel has not only flowers, but also peduncles of a pale pink color.

Heuchera cylindrica

Also a mountainous look, it has not only spectacular leaves, but also tall peduncles with a cloud of small flowers that seem to soar above the bush during flowering. This species is larger than others, and this attracted breeders who, on the basis of cylindrical heuchera, bred new varieties. Peduncles reach 90 cm in height, they bloom large flowers of white, pink, green and coral color on short pedicels. Leaves are heart-shaped, rounded, green in color with a silvery pattern or veins of a contrasting color.Varieties: Greenfinch with greenish-cream flowers, Hyperion is a compact bush with a peduncle height of only 50 cm and red-pink flowers.

Heuchera micrantha

According to many gardeners, this is the most spectacular of the geyher. Its leaf, resembling a maple leaf, is covered with silvery spots, and some specimens of those found in nature have a purple tint of the leaves. Paniculate inflorescence on a peduncle 60 cm in height consists of small creamy pink flowers with orange anthers. Of the popular cultivars, the best known are the Dark Purple Leaved Palace Pearl, the best perennial of 1999, and the Bressingham Bronze, the bronze brown leaves.

American Heuchera (Heuchera americana)

Growing on the shores of the Great Lakes. In the United States, it is called mountain geranium. It attracts with its leaves, forming a rosette about 20 cm high. On the underside, the leaves are brown-lilac, heart-shaped, rounded, petioles are long. Panicles on peduncles 50-60 cm tall consist of yellow-green flowers. Green Spice is one of the most beautiful varieties of American Heuchera with green leaves and contrasting silvery spots on them. During the growing season, the leaves change shades of green from more yellow to darker, the silver spots increase, and a purple hue appears around the veins.

Heuchera hybrid (Heuchera hybrida)

It includes interspecific hybrids of American and blood-red heuchera with the participation of small-flowered heuchera. The flowers of this species resemble those of the blood-red heuchera, but they are somewhat larger, as well as the leaves with peduncles. Flowers of white, coral, red or pink color bloom for more than two months. The color of the leaves is mostly green, but with contrasting veins and cream-colored specks. The only drawback of these hybrids is that the stalks can fall from strong wind and rain. Varieties: Cancan, Cappuccino, Beauty Color, Ruby Vale and others.

Gooseberry Heuchera (Heuchera grossulariifolia)

This plant is so cold-resistant that even after wintering in the garden in severe frost it can completely retain its leaves, and it is this rare quality that attracts both flower growers and breeders in it.

How to grow sisyurinhia in the garden

Growing a plant is not difficult, and caring for it is even easier. Such a flower will decorate the yard, and everyone will like the simplicity.

Seed propagation

Sowing a plant directly into the ground can be done in two ways:

1. For the winter - sow seeds to a depth of 20 centimeters, in prepared furrows, they need to be laid less often. The ground should not be frozen, but cool enough so that seedlings do not appear. As soon as the weather is warm in spring, the plant will rise;
2. In the spring, seeds are sown after the ground has warmed up enough. If the soil is dry, then be sure to moisten it before sowing. The garden bed should be watered periodically and no crust appears on the surface.

When planting in open ground, a distance of at least 30 centimeters should be observed between the plants. After flowering, the plant ripens and self-sowing propagation occurs. So you don't need to mess around with the seedlings every year, otherwise the wilted flowers need to be cut off.

Growing with seedlings

Sisyurinhiy reproduces by seeds. But gardeners believe that it is better to grow this flower through seedlings. To do this, sow seeds in nutrient soil in March. It is best to immediately plant 3 seeds in separate cups. It is not worth waiting for the top layer to dry, the sisyukhindry loves moisture, watering should be carried out as the soil dries out.

Growing from sisyurinchia seeds will not create much difficulty.After sprouting, after 20 days, you can start hardening the plant. You need to take it out into the fresh air gradually, first for one hour, then for two, and so increase until full daylight hours, and then up to a day. Seedlings should be planted in the ground in mid-May, so that possible frosts do not damage the seedlings at night.

Division of bushes

Sisyurinhiy can reproduce by dividing the bush. To do this, you need to carefully dig it out, the roots of the flower are compact, not long. Then carefully cut into several pieces, depending on the volume. Each division must have two or more growth points. Place immediately in the holes, water well.

Gumaria hemispherical (Humaria hemisphaerica)

Synonyms:

• Helvella albida
• Elvela albida
• Peziza hispida
• Peziza labellum
• Peziza hemisphaerica
• Peziza hirsuta Holmsk
• Peziza hemisphaerica
• Lachnea hemisphaerica
• Sepultaria hemisphaerica
• Scutellinia hemisphaerica
• Sepultaria albida
• Mycolachnea hemisphaerica

Before us is a small cupped mushroom, which, fortunately, is easily identified among the many similar small "cups" and "saucers". Gumaria hemispherical rarely grows more than three centimeters wide. It has a whitish, grayish or (less often) pale bluish inner surface and brown outer surface. Outside, the mushroom is entirely covered with tough brown hairs. Most of the other small cupped mushrooms are either brightly colored ("Elf's Bowl"), or smaller (Gnarled Dumontinia), or grow in very specific places, such as old fireplaces.

Description

The fruiting body forms as a closed, hollow ball, then bursts from above. In youth it looks like a cup, with age it becomes wider, cupped, saucer-shaped, reaches a width of 2-3 centimeters. The edge in young mushrooms is turned inward, later, in old ones, it is turned outward.
The inner side of the fruiting body is dull, light, often wrinkled at the "bottom", in appearance it is somewhat reminiscent of semolina. With age, it becomes brownish.
The outer side is brown, densely covered with brown fine hairs about one and a half millimeters long.

Stem: absent Odor: not distinguishable Taste: no data Flesh: light, brownish, rather thin, dense.

Microscopy: Spores are colorless, warty, elliptical, with two large drops of oil, which disintegrate upon reaching maturity, measuring 20-25 * 10-14 microns.
Asci are eight-spore. Paraphysis threadlike, with bridges.

Season and distribution

Gumaria hemispherical is widespread throughout the world, grows in moist soil and, less often, on well-rotted wood (presumably deciduous). It occurs not often, not annually, singly or in groups in deciduous, mixed and coniferous forests, in thickets of shrubs. Fruiting time: summer-autumn (July-September).

Edibility

Some sources categorically classify the mushroom as inedible. Some write evasively that the mushroom has no nutritional value due to its small size and thin flesh. No data on toxicity.

Similar types and differences from them

Despite the fact that Gumaria hemispherical is considered a fairly easily recognizable fungus, there are several species that are considered similar in appearance.
Geopixis coal (Geopyxis carbonaria): it is distinguished by ocher color, whitish teeth on the upper edge, lack of pubescence and the presence of a short stem.
Hemispherical trichofea (Trichophaea hemisphaerioides): it is smaller (up to one and a half centimeters), more extended, saucer-shaped, not cupped, in shape and lighter in color.

Notes:
The list of synonyms is huge. In addition to those listed, some sources indicate a synonym for Humaria hemispherica, just like that, without the "a", this is not a typo.

Brief description of cultivation

Heuchera (lat. Heuchera) is a perennial herb of the Saxifrage family, widely cultivated in many countries of the world. It owes its name to the German botanist Johann Heinrich von Heicher, who lived in the years 1677-1746 and wrote a description of this spectacular species.The native land of the plant is considered to be the mountainous regions of North America, where it is better known as the purple bell or spotted geranium and is widely used in folk medicine.

However, heuchera did not always look spectacular; even at the beginning of the 20th century, the plant was a nondescript bushes that did not stand out in anything special among other decorative greenery. The situation changed radically after the work of French specialists - the Lemoine brothers. Their work has resulted in numerous hybrids resulting from the crossing of different types of flowers.

Today, the perennial is considered one of the most spectacular and unusual plants and is able to transform even the most dull landscape beyond recognition. Any flower garden or flower bed on which heuchera is present acquires a unique charm and stands out noticeably against the background of the garden variety. Geuhera is so unpretentious that it grows even in the deserts of Arizona and California and is able to adapt to rocky soils, completely devoid of soil. Outwardly, the plant is a compact herbaceous shrub about 50 cm high.

• There is no central stem as such, but leaves with petioles 30-40 cm long have a root arrangement. Each leaf consists of 5 fused lobules.
• The plant has a taproot system, with a fleshy central root up to 50 cm long, and one bush often has several roots.
• Paniculate inflorescences consist of small flowers of red, white, pink and even green colors. Interestingly, in one variety, they may look rather ordinary-looking, while in the other they simply “burn with fire”.
• The capsule fruits contain several thousand extremely small seeds, which are much smaller in size than poppy seeds (one gram contains up to 20,000 seeds).

1. Landing. In springtime, more precisely, in March – April.
2. Bloom. Observed in June – August.
3. Illumination. Grows well in shade or in bright, but diffused light.
4. Priming. It should be moisture-absorbing, well-permeable to air and water with a pH of 5.0–6.0.
5. Watering. Water the flower systematically as the soil dries out 1 time in two to three days. During a long hot dry period, you need to water the flower twice a day.
6. Fertilizer. They begin to feed the Heuchera from the second year of growth, they do this before it blooms and after flowering. For this, liquid complex mineral fertilizers are used in half the dose recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Reproduction. Green cuttings, dividing the bush and seed method.
8. Harmful insects. Weevils, leaf nematodes, butterfly caterpillars, snails and slugs.
9. Diseases. Gray rot, spotting, rust, powdery mildew.
