When growing this spectacular plant will have a little sweat, as it tolerates frosts very difficult. If you live in the southern latitudes, the problem is solved by itself, but residents of northern latitudes will have to carry containers for the winter in a warmer place. It is worth saying that all your efforts and patience will not be in vain, since brugmansiya with proper care pleases abundant and spectacular flowering.
Methods of growing brugmansii at home
As a rule, brugmansiyu grow from seeds . It is clear that this process is lengthy and will require certain knowledge, but you can get strong and quality young seedlings. However, we must also take into account the fact that this method does not guarantee the preservation of all species qualities. The process of growing brugmansii from seeds is divided into several stages.
- The first step is to prepare the planting material. The seeds are rather dense, so they should be soaked for at least a day. It is desirable to add a growth stimulant such as corn root. Another effective way to awaken the seeds a little is to lightly scratch with a knife or a blade to damage the shell.
- Seeds have awakened, now we will prepare the ground for their planting. It is enough to use a neutral garden land. When planting the depth should not exceed 1 cm.
- We landed, then we follow the conditions for successful germination. Temperature of about 28 ° C, all boxes must be covered with a film. Do not forget about the quality of lighting. About a month later, the first shoots will appear.
- Next, the finished seedlings are dived into their own places in separate pots. With this method of planting and proper care in a couple of years, the flower brugmansiya will please you with its flowering.
If it is difficult to work with seeds or if you really want to get the chosen variety, it's better to turn to cuttings. You need to work early in the spring. We will take root only in pure perlite or water.
Planting and caring for brugmansia: basic tips for gardeners
To make the plant feel good, you should choose a place with partial shading and completely protected from wind and drafts. It is equally important to competently approach the issue of irrigation. If the summer is hot and arid, watered daily and only with warm water. Never water from afar with a hose, do not allow water to enter the blossoming flowers.
When planting brugmansii and caring for her do not forget about feeding. The entire period of vegetation and up to the very beginning of autumn we introduce complex fertilizers about once a week.
