Make the site bright and joyful enough simply - you just need to plant asters on it. Thanks to relatively simple farming techniques, care for asters will not be difficult for experienced florists, and for novice florists. But it is correct to collect the seeds of asters, while retaining the variety, as it turns out, on the shoulder is not much at all.
How to collect asters seeds at home?
First, let's figure out why it's so difficult to collect asters seeds at home. The thing is that the time for collecting seeds from different varieties of asters comes 45-60 days after the beginning of flowering. Depending on the weather conditions, these terms can be stretched and the seeds do not have time to ripen before the onset of cold weather. Or the heads with seeds simply rot in the garden because of the prolonged rains. Cut the asters from the beds and send them to the vase to dozarivanie, as many do, not the best option, because in such conditions, the seeds may not ripen.
Therefore, it is necessary to dig out the whole bush and carefully transplant it into a flower pot. Astra fairly tolerates such movements, and home heat will allow her to calmly bring the seeds to the required state.
On an average for the seeding of seeds transplanted in this way, an astra will take about 15-20 days at a temperature of 15-20 degrees Celsius. Throughout this time, the pot with the astra must be carefully rotated around its axis, so that it receives uniform lighting.
When the flowers of the asters fade, they carefully cut and placed in a paper bag, in which they are stored until the spring in a dark and dry place, at a temperature of 3-5 degrees of heat. Such storage conditions not only allow to save the seeds of aster until the spring, but also ensure its germination for 3 years.
