2. Be sure to make sure that the soil does not condense, and loosen it. It is equally important to monitor the condition of the land after watering - do not allow water to stagnate.
3. In the process of planting campaigning and care, you can collect planting material for the next season. To do this, the boxes after the acquisition of a brownish hue are cut off. Do not wait for the pores to open, as the seeds will simply fall out. In September, all plants are cut to the root.
4. During the care of the campaigning garden you will have to engage in planting, for this purpose it is better to choose early spring or autumn.

Campanula - Care and Reproduction

Reproduction is carried out in several ways: by dividing the bush, by root offspring or segments of rhizomes, as well as by green cuttings and by the seed method. This stage of planting and caring for the garden is directly dependent on the life form of the plant and its specific features.

Annuals reproduce exclusively by the seed method. Before planting, the seeds are mixed with sand or chalk. In spring or autumn they are planted directly in the ground, and in the winter-spring period begin seedling out of seedlings. Under winter, the seeds are sown only in boxes and drop them in the garden until the heat comes, while they cover with a film.

The vegetative method is suitable in case you want to get new shrubs with full preservation of all species features. As a rule, this method is applicable to double or semi-double species that do not bear fruit. The mother plant is excavated and then the entire aerial part is cut off. Then, using a knife or shovel is divided into parts. Planted in prepared wells in such a way that all buds of renewal were at ground level.
