Plants with unusual coloring of leaves always look beautiful in combination with green plantings. That is why very often gardeners planted in the spring geyher, but then do not know what to do with it.
Planting geyheers in the spring
Like other plants, geyher should be planted in the open ground in the spring, but not at the beginning, but at the end. If you bought her seedling before, then you can hold it before planting in a temporary container in a greenhouse or apartment. If necessary, it is recommended to prune excess or old leaves. Rejuvenating transplant should also be performed at this time.
How to care for Geukhera in the spring?
Care for Geukhera in spring is very important for the overall development of the flower. It consists in preventing physiological desiccation and in organizing optimal irrigation.
Very often the Geiker dies precisely in the early spring, due to the fact that at the first appearances of the sun, the non-freezing leaves of the plant begin to evaporate the moisture that they do not have time to compensate, since the earth has not yet fully warmed up. You can avoid this by creating an artificial shadow (for example: by covering with a box) or by wrapping nonwoven fabric.
During the spring drought, the geicher should provide regular abundant watering. To lead it is recommended in the morning or evening. The soil around the flower should always be moderately moist.
Many gardeners, trying to improve the quality of flowering and the condition of geyher, wonder: what to feed it in the spring. To do this, choose a complex mineral fertilizer with a minimum content of nitrogen. You can make it only before flowering.
Proper care for the Geikhera in the spring will allow you to enjoy the beauty of its leaves until late autumn. Best of all, this plant looks in alpine hills and flower beds of geometric shape.
