Astilboides lamellar is one of the plants of the family called Saxifrags. In Latin, the name of this plant is as follows: Astilboides tabularis.
Description of Astilboides
The optimal light regime for growing this plant will be partial shade. Astilboides lamellar is rather low tolerant to possible droughts. In terms of soil selection, this plant prefers highly fertile soil. According to its development cycle, this plant is perennial. In terms of the texture of the soil, Astilboides lamellar will prefer loams.
This plant reproduces both by seed and by dividing the bush. It is recommended to plant seeds for seedlings in the spring. However, it is recommended to plant Astilboides lamellar seeds outdoors in winter. For seedbed preparation, cold stratification will need to be performed for at least one month.
Among the features of the reproduction of lamellar alstilboides with the help of seeds, it should be noted that the seeds are small. It is recommended to germinate seeds at a relatively low temperature, while the thermometer should not show more than twenty-five degrees of heat. The seedlings of the plant are small, they develop very slowly, but at the same time they remain unpretentious in care and also very easily tolerate all possible transplants. It should also be remembered that the seedlings will bloom only in the third or fourth year.
As for the vegetative propagation of Astilboides lamellar, then by dividing the rhizome, reproduction should be carried out simultaneously with the beginning of the spring growth of the plant. Astilboides lamellar is propagated by means of parts of the lateral branches, on which the presence of kidneys is observed. Despite the fact that the growth of the plant is extremely slow, it will not be necessary to carry out subsequent division for many more years. The same circumstance will also apply to the absence of any need for plant transplantation.
When growing astilboides lamellar, it should be remembered that young leaves will be able to freeze very significantly from those frosts that can occur during late spring. At the same time, the plant's resistance to the winter period of time is very high, and no shelter is required for the winter.
Among the possible problems with cultivation, it should be noted that astilboids lamellar can be very badly damaged during summer droughts. In height, this plant will reach about one and a half meters along with a peduncle. The plant is endowed with a white color scheme. Blossoming of Astilboides lamellar occurs in the period beginning in late July and continuing until early September.
Both the leaves and flowers of this plant differ in decorative properties. The flowers themselves will be quite small, and the inflorescences are panicles, the length of which can even reach twenty-five centimeters. It should be noted that closer to the end of flowering, the panicle will begin to droop.
The leaves of the plant will be tough, springy, and also corymbose. The leaves are arranged on rather thick and long petioles, which can even reach more than one meter in length. In diameter, the leaf blade reaches seventy centimeters, this plate is funnel-shaped, its outlines are almost rounded, and there will be large teeth along the edges of the leaf blade. It is noteworthy that this plant is able to grow under the canopy of very large trees. Organic fertilizers should be applied to the soil approximately several times in one season. It is also important to cut off both old peduncles and leaves of Astilboides lamellar in a timely manner.
