Rules for plant care and plant

In many flower compositions, a multi-leaved grass attracts attention, somewhat resembling birch foliage with brushes strewn with yellow or white, sometimes pink flowers. This grass - loosestrife. She fell in love with many florists and gardeners for their unpretentious care and long abundant flowering. Also Loosestrife Flower adorns many landscape compositions and alpine slides.

In this article we will talk about Looter's daygrowing it landing and care.

Loosestrife Plant

Loosestrife - It is a bush-shaped perennial plant. Grass Loosestrife exists in nature in the form of annuals, perennials and biennials with straight or creeping stems.

Verbeinik got its name because of the similarity of the shape of the leaves with verbal leaves, and in Greek the name of the lattice sounds like a lysimachia.Verbeinik finds its description in ancient Greek sources, where, according to legend, it was opened by the commander Lysimah. Today more than 110 species of this plant are known. It is widely used in Europe, and more than 70 varieties grow in China. The Recruitr can grow both in height and travel along the ground, which makes it possible to use it also as an ampelous plant.

The camelite is a relative of such plants as cyclamen, milk grass, primrose, and ambilantus.

In addition, tea has a pleasant aroma and sweet taste. Verbeinik is widely used in traditional medicine, because it has a number of useful substances:

• hyperin;
• rutin;
• phenol carboxylic acids;
• primerase enzyme;
• silicic acid;
• saponins;
• tannins.

One of the most popular types of the recruits in our latitudes is monkeys, or moneywort. Popular varieties - Aurea and Goldilocks.

Monstratin swirler (Lysimachia nummularia) is a common species in Europe, Japan and North America, which grows mostly near water bodies, swamps and rivers. This recruit refers to creeping species, has a lying stem up to 30 cm, oval-shaped leaves. The time of its flowering depends on the light.On sunny sites, it begins in late May - early June. Use the honeycomb in ampella compositions.

The choice of a place to plant

The grass, though unpretentious to the landing site, yet loosestrife requires attention to landing and care. It should be shady or semi-shaded areas, but it can be sunny too. Loosestrife purple feels good on such sites. But the collar will grow in highly shaded places.

Soil requirements

Lullah will feel good on wet, nutritious soil. Planting and caring for the keeper sack is the same as for its other types.

He is not suitable clay soil or soil with poor drainage. Therefore, you need to add gravel to the top layer of soil. Loosestrife is planted in the prepared soil. Pre-fertilized with humus or compost. When planting verbeynika use the same sequence of actions as when planting any other plants.Place the root in the hole or indentation under the hole, sprinkle with earth, tamp the soil around the hole. Liberally pour and loosen the ground. The distance between the verbeynika bushes should be about 50 cm.

Growing and breeding Verbeynika

A distinctive feature of this plant is that all the rookeries are amenable to good reproduction and themselves grow in a short period of time. Recommend every 2-3 years recruit. In practice, use the following methods of growing plants:

• root division;
• grafting;
• through the seeds.

Cultivation of rookery from seeds

Loosestrife from seeds is a very laborious process. But if you still decide on this, then you should take into account a few practical tips. First, before sowing seeds, they must be hardened or stratified. For this procedure, you need to put the seeds for 2 months in the fridge in the vegetable compartment. Better to do it in late May or early June.There is no need to stratify the seeds before autumn sowing, they will be hardened in the ground, and in spring you will see shoots in small groups.

But you can sow the seeds and seedlings. For this, stratified seeds are sown on the surface of the wet substrate. It is made from sand and peat in a 1: 1 ratio. After sowing the seeds, cover with glass or film, creating a mini-greenhouse. The temperature must be kept within +15 ºC in a bright room. In two weeks, the first shoots will appear. When young plants get stronger, we dive seedlings into separate containers (cups or boxes). And in June, after hardening, we land in open ground. The distance between seedlings should be about half a meter.

Vegetative breeding methods

Most species of the rookeller, including the monkeet barracks, reproduce by dividing the shrub and grafting.

In early spring or autumn during transplanting the bushes of a plant, you can reproduce your colony bill by dividing the bush. Having dug a bush, separate the kids. Take the bush itself and divide it into pieces, but do it this way,so that each part has roots and sprouts. Now it remains to plant the whole plant. Take care of shoots, as for an adult plant. Planted in such a way the plants will bloom next year.

But most often, the colony is grown from shoots, cuttings. For this, cuttings of a length of 10–20 cm are selected. Cutting is carried out in the fall, when cutbacks are cut, or in spring. Selected cuttings are dipped in a glass of water until they take root. Cuttings with developed roots are planted in the loosened soil, moistening it before. And do not forget about the shady place on the site.

How to properly care for the recruit

Some kind of special pests or diseases in the recruits were not observed. It is a disease resistant plant. If there is something wrong with the collar bill, you will notice. For example, if the leaves will be eaten on the edge, it is most likely a weevil. Collect beetles in the evenings, as they are active in the dark.

Loosestrife can attack aphid. You can get rid of it with the help of Biotlin or Antytl drugs.It is not necessary to cover a flower for winter. In the ground before the onset of winter, they add a little humus, after having dug around the bushes.

Watering the rostrum

Care should be taken when irrigating the grass of the recruits. The plant itself grows on wet soils, and additional watering can only damage it. If it has not rained for a very long time, then additional watering is needed.

Loosestrife Trimming

Periodically, the plant must be pruned. The procedure of cutting the bush of the Lien is carried out after flowering and for the winter period. In the first case, the shrub of the plant is cut to the bottom, clearing the aprinch from dry branches. In winter, the plant is completely cut off at the root.

Fertilizer and plant nutrition

Verbeinik does not need fertilizing or fertilizing, if all conditions regarding planting and care are met. But it happens that the plant stuck on not very good soil, then it will be necessary to add additional fertilizers to such soil. They are necessary in the period from late spring to mid-summer. Unpretentious in the care of the plant, the drawstring when you follow simple recommendations will delight you with its flowering on the site.Grow loosestrikes and enjoy the beauty.
