The healthy fragrant greens of perilla (sudza) deserve the best place in our gardens. We will learn how a wonderful culture multiplies
Breeding types
Sudza reproduces in two ways:
• seeds;
• green cuttings.
The seed direction is most loved by vegetable growers. It is appreciated for its unpretentiousness, easy availability of source material in stores. In the south, plants left in the ground under cover winter well, giving abundant self-seeding.
The latter method requires the preservation of last year's bushes at home in winter. To begin rooting of the shoots in the spring months.
Winter storage
In the conditions of Central Russia, the seeds do not have time to ripen. To provide themselves with planting material, closer to autumn, without waiting for a strong cold snap, they dig up the most fertile plants with a large clod of earth.
Planted in pots of 5-10 liters, depending on the size. Tied to a peg. Determined by the lightest window. To successfully obtain seeds, the duration of daylight hours should be at least 10-11 hours. With less light, the ovaries fall off. In the evening, morning hours, they turn on the diode lamps for additional lighting.
Brown shells around the seeds indicate readiness for harvest. It is carried out selectively. Leaving twigs on the newspaper to dry. Then each fruit is threshed by hand. The resulting inoculum is stored at room temperature for a maximum of 3-4 years.
Cuttings
After harvesting the grain, the tops are slightly trimmed. The plant gives fresh shoots by spring. In early March, cuttings are started. Twigs are cut with 2 pairs of buds. The lower leaves are removed completely, the upper ones are shortened by 1/3 part. So the plant spends less energy on evaporation. The cut is treated with a root root.
At the bottom of a 0.5 liter cup, a hole is burned to drain excess water. A layer of pebbles is poured. The top is filled with a fertile mixture of peat, sand, humus in a ratio of 2: 1: 1. Cuttings are planted to the level of the leaves left.
They compact the soil around the stem. Watered with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. They create a greenhouse effect due to film or cans. Every day the plants are opened for a few minutes for airing.
They are rarely moistened, as the top layer of the soil dries up in small doses. Young stems will appear in a month. The shelter is gradually removed, accustoming the plants to the conditions of the room. Since that time, they begin to feed the perilla 2 times a month with the complex fertilizer "Zdraven" 1.5 g per 1 liter of water.
When warm weather sets in, the pots are taken out to the greenhouse. At first they shade from bright sunlight.
They are planted in open ground in early June, when stable warm weather sets in. To get an early harvest, the crop is grown in greenhouse conditions. Enough 5-6 bushes to meet the needs of the family for the first time, until the harvest ripens in the beds.
Better conditions
Demanding light, prefers sunny areas with protection from cold winds. It is thermophilic, the optimum temperature is 22-28 degrees. With a decrease, growth slows down. Adult specimens do not tolerate night cold less than 12 degrees. Seedlings are better adapted to low temperatures. Intense heat causes the inflorescences to fall off.
Prefers loose, fertile soils rich in organic matter: structural chernozems, floodplain lands. On loams, the introduction of rotted manure solves the problem of providing plants with the necessary nutrients.
It tolerates a transplant at a young age, a haircut during the summer. It is moisture-loving, but does not tolerate stagnant water in the root zone.
We will get acquainted with the cultivation of sudza in the open field in the next article.
