Cleom - growing from seeds

Cultivate the plant can be one of the methods: the cultivation of the clover through seedlings or sowing seeds in the open ground. Collection of seeds is made in autumn from the flower, which began its flowering first. In a ripened state, the pods open well. It is important not to allow the self-seed to gather seeds from the boxes already dried, but not yet flung open. Store the seeds in the coolness and darkness in a paper bag.

  1. Seeds should be soaked for 12 hours in a growth biostimulator to increase their germination capacity ( Epin , Zircon - 2 drops per 1 glass of water).
  2. On the loosened site, furrows with a depth of 1.5-2 cm are made with an interval of 25-30 cm. In them it is necessary to plant seeds and sprinkle them with soil. Podzimnie beds are covered with fir paws.
  3. In the spring, the bed is covered with cellophane or agrofiber.
  4. When the seedlings form the first pair of leaves, they should be planted less often - at a distance of 50-70 cm, since soon the plants will turn into spreading bushes.

This is normal - as soon as the first two leaves appear, the flowers will move into growth and begin to build up mass. By the time the threat of spring frost passes, and the glue needs to be planted in the open ground (late May - early June), it will already look like a developed plant.

Seed sowing seed from seed to seedlings

Planting the seeds with seeds on seedlings is carried out in a fertile soil consisting of 2 parts of vegetable garden, 2 parts of humus, 1 part of sand. The substrate for the seedlings should preferably be sterilized in a preheated oven for half an hour. It will be good to soak soil with sodium humate or " Energen " preparation to improve the germination of the material. Soaking seeds before balancing in growth biostimulators such as "Epin", you can not only provide them with better survival, but also help to adapt more quickly, to tolerate possible diseases. After preparation, they begin to seed the seeds.

How correctly to plant a seedling on seedlings?

How to properly plant a seedling on a seedling:

  1. Pour soil into a seedling box and compact it.
  2. Prepared seeds should be planted at a depth of 1.5 cm and lightly sprinkled with earth.
  3. It is best to seal them with compost - this will have a positive effect on shoots.
  4. The crops are irrigated from the spray gun.
  5. The box is covered with a film or glass and put in heat (+ 20-22 ° C).

Germination of seeds of Cleoma

The emergence of sprouts takes about 2-3 weeks. Clay from seeds - care, difficulties of cultivation:

  1. Boxes must be placed in a bright room and provide them with light for a few hours in the evenings with fluorescent lights or aglamps.
  2. Seedlings in order to avoid decay and the appearance of the fungus are watered abundantly, but rarely - as the soil dries.
  3. Once seedlings need to be watered with a weak solution of potassium permanganate for the prevention of root diseases.
  4. With the advent of the first pair of these leaves, seedlings are planted along peat pots, deepening them to the cotyledons.
  5. 12-15 days after picking, the seedlings are fertilized every 2 weeks with a complex mineral composition.
  6. In order not to turn the bush bollocks, they periodically need to turn to the sun.
  7. In open ground seedlings should be planted together with peat pots with a distance of 60-70 cm, so that the planting does not thicken.
  8. In order for the young clerics in the garden to adapt quickly, they are sprinkled with a nutrient solution before planting: growth stimulant + micro fertilizer "Citovit".
  9. After planting, the soil under the plant is mulched with compost or humus.
  10. Watering planting only in extreme heat.
  11. A weak and diseased shrub bush can be sprayed with fertilizer type Fertica Lux (1 ts per 3 liters of water).
  12. The plant blooms from June to September, the lower inflorescences immediately bloom, then the upper ones.
  13. Autumn bushes are subject to recycling. The site needs to be dug under the spring planting or to make podzimny seed seed.
