Godetia - cultivation
Flower godetia allows the cultivation of seedlings or seeds, but with seedlings, even experienced gardeners do not always cope. The fact is that the state is very poorly tolerated by transplantation and picking - most of the plants die at the same time. The smallest losses will be only if the seedlings are moved to the main site very young and its roots are shrouded in a large clod of earth. Cultivation of the state of the seeds is a more easy and effective method, so you can call it the main one. To seedlings resorted only in the event that in principle to get early flowering.
Rules for growing the state of the seed
Since it is quite easy to grow a state from seeds, it makes no sense to look for other ways. In a mild climate, you can sow seeds even for the winter - if there is no severe frost, the plants will grow strong and resistant to diseases and pests. If the usual spring planting of the year from the seeds is planned, then it is necessary to wait for the end of April or the beginning of May. Sow the seeds of the plant in the open ground, which before it is dug and moistened. To cover the landing with a thick layer of earth is not worth it, just sprinkle it lightly with soil - a few millimeters. It is correct to make sure that the adults live at a distance of at least 20 cm from each other, so if the shoots are thick, they need to be weeded out. After planting, it is important to water the area with water at room temperature, so that the shoots soon appear on the surface, usually in two weeks.
Care for the year and create comfortable conditions
Godetsiya - landing and care for which do not require excessive effort, yet will be grateful for some care. First, it is necessary to choose the right place for planting, the soil must be loamy, sandy will not allow the plant to fully develop. Also the site should be sunny, but it must be said that the heat does not suffer under the direct rays of the sun. In the process of growth, the flower will require additional fertilizing with complex mineral fertilizers, when the state of seeds or seedlings bloom, fertilizing can be stopped. The fact is that if you continue to "treat" the plant with fertilizers, it will grow more actively, but at the same time it will lose the abundance of flowering.
Special attention is required for watering - the measure is important here. Godetia blossoms equally badly both on dry and overly moistened
Pests and diseases do not bypass the year. Most of them can be prevented by proper care. For example, fungal diseases of the roots are not terrible, if watering is moderate, and the probability of pests will be significantly reduced if time to get rid of weeds in the flowerbed.
