Cultivation secrets
Success in growing will be ensured by:
- Well-chosen landing site.
- Suitable soil.
- Timely feeding.
- Periodic watering.
- Weeding and loosening the soil.
- Prevention of fungal diseases.
An open, lighted place is suitable for the lights. The soil is moist, well-drained. The flower will be bad on dry sandy soils. It is necessary to loosen the soil carefully: numerous superficial roots are easily damaged. Pouring nutritious soil to the base of the bush, its active development is ensured.
Fries love frequent but moderate watering. It is especially needed in dry hot summers. With the arrival of autumn, it decreases. A frost-resistant crop does not need additional shelter.
Bathers are practically not afraid of diseases and pests.
Removing old dead leaves - preventing the development of fungi. Rarely does a flower suffer from smut, septoria, nematodes. Early May - feeding time... Prepare a solution: for 10 liters of water - 1 teaspoon of nitrophoska, the same amount of Agricola, 1 tablespoon of urea. The same composition is used before flowering.
The flower reproduces:
- Seeds
- Cuttings
- By dividing the rhizome
The first option is very difficult for amateur gardeners. It is much easier to buy ready-made seedlings in a specialty store or use dealerships.
The flower can develop in the same place for up to 10 years. He does not like frequent transplants. The best time to "move" to a new location is the end of flowering. This is a dormant period when the plant is not demanding on growing conditions. The flower is dug up very carefully. With a sharp knife, the rhizome is divided into small parts. Each has 3-4 kidneys.
When working with a bathing suit, you do not need to shake off the ground too much.
The soil is a protection that protects delicate roots from drying out. If this happens, they will die off and it will be difficult for the fry to take root. Already in the second year, a large flowering bush grows from young plants. Proper care of a swimsuit is the key to its beauty and longevity.
Zharok is the hero of many fairy-tale legends. The flowers burn with a magical orange flame, arousing the genuine interest of amateurs and professionals of garden art.
