Growing bobovnika (laburnum): from seeds, cuttings, layering, dividing the bush

In this article we will tell about the reproduction of an ornamental garden plant bauber (lat. Labúrnum) or broom. It is also often called the Golden Rain for its beautifully hanging long yellow buds. We will understand how to care for young plants, consider the features of different methods of cultivation. And also tell you why you need to be careful when caring for a broom.

From seed

Growing a bobovnika from seeds is not a difficult task. To do this, it is better to choose large mature seeds that have ripened on large, abundantly flowering plants. Ripening occurs in September. Bogovnik multiplies in several ways:

seeds;
cuttings;
layering;
division of the bush.

Timing

It is possible to sow the Golden Rain in the fall by planting not very deep (1-2 cm) in a container with garden soil. Shoots appear after 2-3 weeks. When the seedlings grow up (after 2 months), they should be seated in separate containers. Planting seedlings bobovnika in open ground need in the spring (as soon as the snow melts). It is necessary to protect young plants from wind and cold.

Did you know? By Feng Shui broom is considered a symbol of well-being.It activates energy, maintains good spirits and optimism.

Training

In order for the seeds to germinate better, they are damaged. This process is called scarification. You can treat the seeds with sandpaper, nail file. Another method of preparation is to pour boiling water or acid over the seeds. When the shell is damaged, the sprout develops faster. Seeds will come up earlier if they are kept in the fridge for 1 month before sowing.

Before planting plants such as castor, cerce, mirabilis and hawthorn also apply the process of scarification of seeds.

Sowing and aftercare

In spring, golden rain is sown after the snow melts. Seeds after planting in the ground to a depth of 1 cm covered with cellophane.

For good growth it is necessary to weed the seedlings, while being careful - all parts of the plant are poisonous. Watering is not required, as the cobweb is drought tolerant. Mulching is useful for root development. Plants grown from seeds, bloom in 3-5 years.

Seed bovobnika seed reproduction can occur without your participation - ripe seeds that fell into the ground in the fall, can survive not very cold winter and climb in the spring.Grown up shoots can be carefully dug and planted in a new place.

Important! When pruning, transplanting, harvesting cuttings should work with gloves. It is unacceptable to hit juice on the skin, mucous membranes. All parts of the plant are poisonous. Wash hands thoroughly after use with soap and water.

Cuttings

In this way, hybrid varieties are propagated, which allows preserving their decorative characteristics. The cultivation of bobovnika cuttings begin after completion of flowering, which ends in late June.

Preform

For grafting choose an adult plant that tolerates wintering well. Cut thick shoots that grew this year. On each handle should be two nodes with large leaves. It is better to cut half of each sheet to reduce evaporation. The lower cut needs to be made oblique.

Rooting

Suitable for rooting shady place with moist soil. The seedling is buried in the hole, tied to a support and well poured with water.

For better rooting add humus, lime and compost. Land in the hole must be compacted and sprinkled with leaves and grass. In winter, the seedlings are transplanted in containers and transferred to the greenhouse.

Did you know? Cyzine alkaloid, which is contained in the broom seeds, is used in the manufacture of preparations "Tabex", intended for smoking cessation.

Landing

In the spring before planting, seedlings should preferably be treated with growth stimulants. It is better to plant shoots in groups protected from the wind, this contributes to abundant flowering. Before planting, the soil must be cleared of weeds, organic and mineral fertilizers should be applied to the prepared soil. Young shoots for the winter must be covered. In the first 2-3 years, Golden Rain shoots are very vulnerable to low temperatures.

Layering

Young shoots in early spring pressed to the soil. To form roots, you need to cut the bark or make cuts on it before prikopat a branch. The use of growth stimulants will accelerate the formation of roots. Next spring, vertical shoots will appear on the rooted branch. The subsidiary plant is separated from the parent in place with the ground, trying not to damage the roots.

Important! The plant does not tolerate stagnant water; it grows better on poor calcareous soils.

Dividing bush

A multi-layered bush is divided into parts without digging it out of the ground. The following spring, a part is separated along with an earthy clod and transplanted to another place. When planting, a new plant is treated with growth stimulants for good root development.
