The charm of sisyurinhia bushes increases over time. Adult specimens amaze with an abundance of flowers at first sight. I would like to increase the number of favorite "pets". What breeding methods are used on a unique plant?

Reproduction methods

Miniature bushes of sisyurinhia are propagated in two ways:

• seeds;

• dividing adult specimens into parts.

The first option allows you to get plants adapted to the conditions of a given area. The second method is the simplest in execution, it does not require large physical costs, a long time for the preparation of seedlings.

Seed method

The starting material is grown through seedlings or direct sowing in open ground. The choice depends on the actual conditions of the growers. For summer residents who rarely appear in suburban areas, the first option is suitable. Private gardeners will be able to try both methods.

Let us consider in more detail the technology of growing planting material from seeds.

Seedling method

At home, blue-eyed is sown in early March. Prepare wide containers 6-8 cm high. Mix garden soil, peat, sand in a ratio of 1: 2: 1. Fall asleep in bowls, spill with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

Sow seeds, trying to evenly distribute them over the surface. Sprinkle with peat with a layer of 2-3 mm. Compact the soil by hand. Cover with a plastic bag. Placed in a warm place with diffused sunlight.

As it dries, the containers are moistened with a fine spray from a spray bottle. After the emergence of seedlings, airing begins, leaving the film ajar at one end, first for 10-15 minutes. Gradually accustom the plants to the conditions of the dry air of the room.

After 3 weeks, the plants are fed with a liquid complex fertilizer for flowers "Agricola", according to the instructions. Clean water in irrigation is replaced with a weak solution of potassium permanganate (prevention of black leg).

In early May, seedlings are taken out for hardening in the open air, leaving in the afternoon under the shade of shrubs. In the evening, they are removed to the greenhouse or a canopy is made of non-woven material with a density of 60 units.

At the end of May, after the onset of steadily warm weather, they are planted in a permanent place in a flower garden.

Direct sowing in the ground

No stratification is required for blue-eyed seeds. If desired, you can sow the seeds directly onto the flower bed in early spring.

Immediately after the snow melts, the soil is dug to a depth of 20 cm. The roots of malicious weeds are removed. Add humus and sand for looseness. Mix the components. Level the surface with a rake.

Cut grooves every 20-25 cm with a depth of 0.5 cm. Small seeds are evenly distributed in a row, leaving 3-5 cm between groups of 5-6 grains. Sprinkle lightly with humus. At the edges of the sowing, containers with water are installed, arcs made of improvised material (iron rod, raspberry, willow stems) 0.5 meters high are inserted. Cover with foil to maintain comfortable conditions, stimulate rapid germination. Shade from above with a non-woven fabric from the sun.

The soil under the shelter is kept moist, preventing it from drying out. Young shoots appear in 2-4 weeks, depending on weather conditions. Delicate sprouts resemble iris or gladiolus leaves.

After 2 weeks, the young are fed with a weak solution of complex fertilizers "Zdraven", "Kemira" 0.5 tablespoons per ten-liter bucket of water.

They monitor the cleanliness of the soil. When weeds appear, they carry out a neat, superficial loosening of row spacings, weeding of "competitors" in the "thin thread" phase. In the middle of summer, I gradually remove the film, leaving a shade of non-woven material for 2 weeks. It is advisable to time the procedure for rainy weather, increasing the resistance of plants to open ground conditions.

With friendly seedlings in the phase of 3-4 leaves, the plants are thinned out. Leave in the "bundle" 2-4 copies. Seedlings bloom in the second year.

Division of bushes

Sisyurinhiy quickly builds up a lush vegetative mass. At the age of 3-5 years, they begin to divide the adult bushes. Dig up the plants completely. With a sharp knife at the base, they separate the rosettes with 2-3 shoots, a good root system.

They are planted in a permanent place, observing a distance of 20-25 cm. Updated specimens after 3 years restore their previous size. The division procedure is carried out in early spring before flowering.

Settle the celestial stars of the sisyurinhia on your site. They will add charm to flower beds, fill empty spaces in the foreground. They will create a fairy tale at the beginning of summer.
