Pulling Petunia for Winter - How to save your favorite petunia variety to spring and what way is better? Save the winter old bush It's not easy, but collecting seeds and sow the next year there is no possibility, because the biggest, terry flowers - hybrids.
Petunia by the type of growth is divided into ampel and bush.
Ampel petunias grow greatly and become a real decoration of the house and the site. Busta petunia bushes are not so magnificent.
There are two ways to store petunia in winter - in the form of a uterine plant and cuttings.
In order to not buy the seeds of the petunia hybrids you like again, which are not at all cheap, and grow seedlings on a new one - it is preferable to carry out the drawing of the petunia varieties and keep rooted cuttings until spring in the apartment.
In the spring, the cuttings are very quickly growing and become beautiful bushes.
One more cause of Petunia Shooting for Winter - Very often there are spontaneous mutations, especially in terry hybrids. The bush of a certain hybrid is growing, suddenly one whipping on it gives completely different flowers, they can change the shape, size and even color. Thus, there was a surfing, it is multiplied with only stalling, there is no seed in sachets.
Packaging with seeds, which say that this is a surfing - rather seeds of ordinary ampelnaya petunias, at best.
In order to prepare the cuttings that you liked the varieties of petunias you can cut or the tops of the twisted, about 4-6-men, cut off the number of cuttings you need. You can cut off the whole and home to cut the number of cuttings you need.
Cherenci It is possible to root in disposable, plastic, stagma cups. Cups use transparent to be seen when the Chenkov will have roots.
For rooting, much soil is not necessary, you can pour a little more than half into the glasses. Priming Must be very loose and breathable. You can add coconut fiber to the soil, perlite, vermiculite - the ground will be loose and can keep moisture.
The ground in the cups to rush to water and prepare cuttings for rooting. On the cuttings remove all the unspoken buds, flowers, boxes with seeds, old, patients, yellowed leaves.
Next, the cuttings plant in the cups with a soil, just stick to the lower end into the soil. After landing, seal the land around the cutter. So that there were no overflows, do not forget to make drainage holes at the bottom of the cups.
Glasses with cuttings put into transparent plastic bags without holes and tightly tie. So will be supported opening humiditySo that plants without roots do not died.
Put the cuttings under the lampThey will be rooted will be 1-2 weeks, it all depends on the variety.
For the northern regions, there is a better studge from the end of August, the southern regions begin shilling a month later - in September.
To root the cuttings on the light, the sunny window will not come out - this is not seedlings. Remember that the cuttings do not have a root system - use racks with lamps (luminescent or LED).
Optimal temperature for rooting Petunia cuttings - + 15-20 degrees, not less.
After about 1.5 weeks after you put the cuttings for rooting, you can already look into the bags or look through the transparent walls - whether your roots appeared.
All cuttings with roots can be removed from the packages. Let's give 5 days to adapt to dry air and then the cuttings can be filtered. In the soil without roots, they fed mainly at the expense of their leaves.
Fingering the cuttings makes sense only in the first month so that they increase the good root system.
All rooted cuttings transplant in 0.5 liter plastic cups They will grow in them until mid-January. Soil Use water and moisture permeable to winter the root system does not start.
Petunia cuttings better put in place so much, especially if you cannot provide sufficient backlight plants.
Watering in winter is very moderate.
At the beginning of January cuttings to transplant in 2 liter pots And Petunia during the month will increase the root system, and then the leaf mass.
Already in midfield You can start the shilling in the lovely plant for the new summer season.
In the spring, shine just as in the fall, although the cuttings are rooted in the spring much better.
Thus, from one preserved and rooted plant, you can get a huge amount of seedlings, and not reversal, namely those grades that you liked.
Whitenia's bush does not make sense - Seeds are cheap, in bags of their many seeds, seedlings of bush petunias are very easy to buy in spring.
Ampel Petunia Sold in packages usually 5 seeds, you need to choose carefully - the seeds are quickly losing germination.
If you decide to grow ampel petunia by seeds, then to multiply them in the spring with the help of the shilling will be very simple. After seaming seeds early, at the beginning of January, Petunia will grow up for 1.5 -2 months and they can cut the branches and draw the branches.
The cuttings quickly root, and you will get out of 5 plants, the number that you need.
The main advantages of the storage and shilling of Petunia for the winter are to obtain early flowering.
Petunia (Petunia) is one of the most common colors adorning vases, flower beds and hanging baskets. This plant was first found in Uruguay in the vicinity of Montevideo in 1793. A little later in South America, several more dozen Petunia species opened. This flower was a find for breeders, and in 1834 the first hybrid petunia flung. To date, there are several dozen species and many varieties and hybrids of Petunia, so it is easy to get confused in the complex systematics of this plant.
Petunia is a perennial. However, in culture, it is more often grown as annolete plant. Every year, the spring seeds seeds, and in the fall, the flowing petunia is sent to a humus bunch or thrown into the garbage. Many amateur flower products believe that in the middle strip, this is the simplest solution. In the southern regions of Petunia gives Samosov.
At the beginning of autumn, I regretfully look at the continued bloom of Petunia, which is soon destined to be in the humus heap. They are poorly adapted to autumn cold and frost, therefore their life is predetermined. Beautiful plants for the summer do not have time to fully work out their potential. Even in the fall in them there is a lot of vitality. Petunia is capable of becoming a mortgage plant from which you can cut strong stroke cuttings. Or a flowering room plant competing with exotic flowers.
In Nature Petunia is perennial plantsWhat can be used in its cultivation and reproduction. For this, in the fall, the cooling and frosts have not yet begun (the petunias that fell under them more often die), we select several copies, we release them from long shoots and cut off all the pitched leaves. The remaining bush should be compact and low. Not more than 15 cm high. Better below. Before making petunia to the room, you need to spend a thorough inspection of its leaves (especially their lower part) in order for the white bold and the testicles pending in her house. The end of summer and the beginning of the autumn is the time of the mass presence of this pest on cultural and weighing plants, but often we do not pay attention to a small small white barrel. As long as she does not find themselves on our room colors.
If white throat or eggs are found on petunia leaves, then urgent measures need to take urgent measures before bringing the pot with a plant to the house. The best place for it is a cold light windowsill, a veranda, a glazed loggia (balcony), a light basement, and the like. We are not talking about specially equipped places and greenhouses, in which casting materials are grown with additional illumination and the desired humidity.
It seems that Petunia is at first thinking about how she will behave further. Sometimes it is unexpectedly awakened, gives new shoots and even blooms. Or suspends growth, falling into the hibernation until the end of winter. It is important to create petunias such conditions so that young shoots do not weaken the plant. No growth and fertilizer stimulants are used during this period. The exclusion is zircon and epin (only if necessary).
In March (sometimes from the end of February), the container with petunias needs to be moved to the lightest place. It should be cool (not lower than + 6 ° C). Build watering and feeding. Such a regime allows the uterine plant to grow so much so that in April it is possible to cut full-fledged stalks.
In winter, the state of the petunia is sometimes sharply deteriorated. There are several reasons: either it is a milder dew and its consequences, a whitebird, etc. Often, the plant loses its forces in not enough light and warm room. Many troubles are associated with the mooring of the soil. If the leaves dry out and fall apart, and the stalks are black or dry, then this is a clear sign: Petunia feels very bad. Normally only partial yellowing of the leaves.
Petunia shovels perfectly. Many times in the summer I stuck broken into the soil blooming escapeAnd he continued to live. This property uses professionals and flowers lovers, collecting "tribute" from the Musicians to continue to multiply the variety. The cuttings are cut with a heel without it. Minimum cutting size - 2 - 3 pairs of leaves.
There are no special tricks in roaring cuttings. They are planted on a depth of about 1.5 - 2 cm into the container filled with loose fertile soil, covered with a can and keep into the light. In order for the cuttings less losing moisture, it is enough to leave everything in a pair of leaves. The bottom pair of leaves should be completely removed, the upper leaves are better to shorten on ½.
Care is reduced to watering and ventilation. It is impossible to make condensate formation. Comfortable mini-greenhouse is obtained from the top of the transparent plastic bottle, in the cover of which holes are made to a hot nail or drilling. As a cap, you can use high transparent plastic glasses, at the bottom of which there are holes. But to spraying cuttings with water, you need to take care of caution. Often this procedure appears excessive dampness, rot and mold. Some amateur flower flowers root the cuttings of petunias in jars with water.
The temperature at which the rooting occurs is about 22 - 23 ° C. Well, if there is a lower heating. For example, the battery located close to the windowsill. The first leaves of young shoots appear very quickly. Without additional backlighting or sunlight, they grow weak. Rooted cuttings pinch, which causes further adhesive. For the winter, the stalk, which began to root in August - September, turns into a beautiful blooming bush. It is careful for him as a light-affiliated room plant.
You can try another way of winter petunia content. I mastered it completely by chance. It turned out that I had a petunia for August in such huge bushes that they closed other flowers and occupied too much space in the flower bed. I rooted them, and the bouquet of the tops "shoved" in a flower pot with a garden soil. The pot put near the house and from time to time watered the "Bouquet" from the watering can. Petunia quickly rose, began to grow and continued to bloom. In September, I put the pot on the glazed loggia. In winter, several times sprayed petunias a strongly diluted solution of cheap (!) Washing powder. It can be replaced with soda calcined. I did not want to use chemistry. This preventive measure made it possible to avoid the torment, which is often appearing in the autumn-winter period and ruffles petunia. Most Buds I broke up not to loosen the plant. Separate flowers remained "for beauty." It would be possible to leave all the flowers and buds, but for this it would have to organize a strongest illumination.
In May, I rooted a part of the elongated shoots of the "bouquet", receiving a lot of fresh cuttings. Ombrella petunia (former "bouquet") divided into several parts and transplanted into the flower garden. Petunia quickly grow up and does not like tightness, so it is better to plant her rooted cuttings "on the grow out".
IN winter time Petunia can be preserved as a uterine plant for further rooting of its cuttings. Grown from rooted cuttings (pavement is carried out in August - September) Petunia becomes an elegant beautiful-circuit room plant, which can be transplanted in a flower garden, a flower bed or a hanging basket and shut down his shoots. The main problem associated with the health of petunia in winter, I consider me mildew. But this is already a consequence of some squashs in agrotechnology.

Cold is approaching, and petunias on your plot or balcony continues to please lush color. Soon this beauty will come an end, and sorry ... Well, there is nowhere to go from the cycle of seasons, but Kestiki Petunia can be sought for the winter. Petunia, in its essence, a thermal-liner, so, creating "southern" conditions for him, we will be able to extend your life. So, now we will open the secret, how to keep petunia in winter.
Petunia wintering - action for selected
We are in a hurry to warn you right away: the content of Coccics Petunia in winter is not a simple matter. Although, this is the best way out if you wish to keep a particularly expensive, a luxurious variety that does not give seeds or in subsidiaries does not retain all its properties. For example, it is advisable for Surphinia, Supernya and many other F1 hybrids.
There are 2 preservation options for the winter:
Option number 1. Preservation of uterine bushes in the winter
Adults of Petunia bushes can be saved until spring, if you transfer them to a bright and non-breaking room. There should be light, quite humid, optimal t \u003d 10-15 ° C (but less, the main thing is that the temperature does not fall below 0 ° C). Suitable conditions are on closed verandas, insulated or southern loggias, on the windowsill of the entrances.
Petunia bushes are digging, transplanted into the pots and enter the room. You need to have time to do it before frosts, that is, in September-November. The plant cuts dry leaves damaged, fired branches. A cardinal haircut is practiced: all branches are trimmed up to 10-15 cm.
Kuste Petunia can be turned on cold windowsill
The main conditions for care of the bushes of Petunia in winter:
In such conditions, Petunia is safely worried about winter and already in mid-February bloom! Then, in the diet, you can "enter" more frequent watering and feeding.
Survived Winter Kuste Petunia sitting in open sad or in balcony containers. Or are coming differently: spreading petunias with cuttings and young Petunia plants grow. The last option is more common in the flower water environment. It is considered (and harmoniously!) That young petunias bloom better than New Year.
February flowering petunia of the second year of life
In the spring with a overwheeling bush, Petunia cut cuttings of 5-10 cm - green, unreserved. The lower leaves on the cutlets are broken so that at the base there is a bare stem 1-3 cm long. It is important that at this site there is at least 1 pair of intersals. In the upper part of the cutter should remain 2-3 leafs. If they are large, their plates are cut off by half - to reduce the evaporation of moisture.
Petunia cuttings are planted in a loose ground, preferably - with bundles. Can be used for rooting pure vermiculite or peat
The bare part of the stem deepen into the wet, loose soil.
Cherenkov leaves can be cut off halfway to reduce moisture loss through leaf plates
Top are arranged the parobararier to preserve the high humidity around the cuttings. For example, cover the planting capacity by a plastic cup, glass jar or glass. Every day, the "Greenhouse" is ventilated - to prevent the appearance of mold, rot, black legs on a stalk.
For ventilation in the bottom of the plastic cup, the "guy" make holes
About 10-14 days later, young shoots will appear in the sneakers of Chenkov - this means that rooting took place! The greenhouse is cleaned, the cuttings continue to fight the same way as the seedlings of Petunia: watered, fertilize, spray. Over 5-6 leaves, young plants pinch for a bunning.
After 2 weeks, new shoots appear in the sinuses of the leaf of Petunia
How to shine petunias told in the video plot:
In March-April (depending on the region), when stable positive temperatures are installed 10-12 ° C, rooted cuttings are planted on permanent residence - in open ground or in balcony containers.
The flowering of Petunia cuttings grown from the royal bush is "New Year" version number 2. Preservation of petunia in winter cuttings
In residential premises, more chances for survival are not in adult petunias, but in rooted cuttings. They do not need special conditions and care for them is also needed as at room colors. This method will also help those flowers that do not want to clutter the veranda in winter, balconies and loggias with large containers with petunias. Cuttings in cups on window sills occupy quite a bit of place!
For winter storage, Petunia is pile in late August-September. In this petunia, the cuttings multiply easily, as the life processes in it are not slow. 5-10 days after planting, the plants appear roots.
With petunias, cuttings are cut with a length of 5-10 cm, they plant them into the cups, cover the "carpet." After rooting, they are put in a cool, bright place. For example, on the windowsill, closer to the glass. To increase the moisture content of the content, near young petunitions you can install a jar with water.
Young petunia cuttings in winter require as much attention as and ordinary indoor flowers
The main conditions for the maintenance of rooted cuttings in winter:
In the spring of the cuttings, which have already arranged in young bushes of petunia, can be transferred to balcony containers or planted in a flowerbed. Also, they can be drawn again and already from new cuttings grow the right amount of planting material.
The overwhelming cuttings bloom already with the first rays of the warm sun - in February or the beginning of the MartaPreatest property of preservation of petunition in winter (cuttings or adult plants)
The main advantages of preserving petunia for the winter:
Do not know how to decorate your balcony, loggia, garden or just notice the windowsill of your apartment? Then this article is for you. We will tell about Beauty Petunia, which is perfect for the decoration.
Petunia is a grassy perennial semi-staple plant of tropical origin. Attracts attention to its large and bright colors. Harmoniously combined in other garden plants. Therefore, it is often used to decorate a garden or terrace. Quite often, flowers choose it to decorate balconies, loggias and even window sills of apartments.
It is believed that adult petunias are very good, and young sprouts are those still arrogants. But, despite this, if you correctly approach the process of cultivation and care for Petunia, everything will turn out and you will admire it for a long time, so we will look at how to grow a plant without errors from "A" to "I" .
The best cultivation technology of Petunia is:
it the plant loves a loamy soil, but also good lucky in ordinary garden land, and individual varieties are even in simple soil. But it is best to grow a beauty in fertile, which consists of peat, turf, river sand, leaf land. Another one excellent option For growing is the addition of nitroposki in an earthen substrate.
In the garden land, the greens of the plant becomes juicy and accelerates its growth, because They love the weakness very likely.
Petunia cultivation requires special light conditions. It prefers well-lit sections for cultivation, however, on a fluttering flowering sun can burn out. Also need small blackouts.
Lighting is one of the main conditions for growing petunition. Therefore, well-lit areas with dimming is the perfect place.
The soil in which Petunia grows should be wet, but not flooded. The oversuet of moisture will suspend its growth. It is also important to carry out the soil in which the plant grows. The cultivation of these colors will not be difficult if you simply observe the conditions of lighting, watering and the composition of the soil.
Is it possible to grow this plant in room conditions? Yes, but it is more difficult than just in the soil.
Note! The most important thing is that the soil in the cultivation containers should be light and moisture.
Therefore, great attention should be paid to the soil. To do this, it will be enough to mix simple garden land with a banging soil on a peat base. You can also plant in the purchase of soil, but after adding hydrogel to it. Hydrogel needs to be prepared in advance. It should also be considered that such a substrate holds moisture for quite a long time and you need to be extremely neat with watering plants. We water only as drying, especially a newly planted plant.
The cultivation of petunitions in a pot or container also implies the correct selection of the tank for growing. Kustov and terry petunias need 3 liters of earth on one plant. So, 3 plants can be planted in the ten-tier capacity. In large moisture containers, it remains longer, so it is better to plant several plants into one large capacity. But ampel, cascading petunitions and supports need 5 l per plant.
In the container, there must be holes for leakage of excess moisture. If the container is wrong, then you can achieve beauty, but not long. Petunia will first embarrass, and then survive in such conditions. And they will not please you with long and magnificent weaves and abundant bloom.
It is important to overst the gland flowers from the plant. Petunia Growing Secrets:
You can multiply in two ways: grow seeds from seeds and shilling.
This is the most common way to breed the plant, including at home. Purchase seeds in the shell - they are easier to plant them and they are much larger. To begin with, we prepare the soil and maintain the desired temperature in 22-25 ° C. Look at the container in which you must eat drainage. Before planting drainage to disinfect the weak solution of manganese. The same procedure is carried out with soil, for its disinfection use special drugs.
Drain seeds in a slightly wet, but not raw soil. Seeds before this is better mixed with river sand. Further, the container with seeds is closed with glass or film. We grow seedlings at 22 ° C. So that the soil does not raw, constantly remove the condensate from the glass or change the film.
On a note. Do not forget about good lighting. As soon as small bushes appear and fix the roots, you can land it in an open soil or continue growing in a greenhouse.
Watch the video about the cultivation of petunia. Sowing seeds to seedlings:
It allows you to grow a plant much faster. It assumes the presence of an adult plant. To do this, cut the side shoots of Petunia. Then the cuttings are disinfected and planted in small cups with light soil. We put in a shaded place. Do not forget about the moistening of the soil and feeding with mineral fertilizers. Thus, the plant is prepared for wintering. In the spring, planted into the open ground.
Watch the video about the reproduction of petunia cuttings:
Important! Seeds do not fall asleep soil, so that the light falls on them. We also provide additional lighting.
We germinate at a temperature of 22-25 ° C. The required air humidity is 95-98%, to maintain it, cover the crops with glass or polyethylene. The substrate should not be filled, so often water from the sprayer. Waters should be slightly warmer substrate. After germination, we reduce the temperature to 18-20 ° C.
Care for Petunia will not require much effort from you. It is enough to simply control watering and feeding the plant. Watering is needed under the root of the plant so as not to damage the delicate flowers. The next day after watering the day you need to break the soil so that the crust does not form. Remove weeds. Finger in a week, after disembarking into the ground. We combine watering and feeding. We feed fertilizers with potassium.
Sometimes you can encounter such a problem as yellowing or drying petunition. If you do not comply with the rules of care, the plant may get sick:
With them you need to fight special drugs. But it is easier to prevent their appearance to the right departure. If these rules do not observe, then in addition to these diseases, Petunia may be affected by viral diseases. There are no drugs from them - your plant will die. From pests are the danger of a web tick, wave, slugs and trips.
Follow the simple rules for care for petunias, then you do not have to worry about the health and beauty of your plant. It will always delight you with beautiful bloom.
Petunia in winter - in room conditions, is it possible to achieve flowering?
Everyone knows that Petunia is an annual plant. But few people know that it is possible to grow at home in winter. To do this, it is necessary before the appearance of frosts to transplant petunia. It is necessary to cut all the pitched leaves and remove high shoots. It is better if the bush is up to 15 cm. At home, Petunia behaves with caustic, can give new shoots, and maybe there is some time to silend. You can use zircon and epin dust. In February - Mart placing the pot on the brightened place. At the same time, we begin active watering and feeding. Conclusion - in winter petunia can be grown only in order for it to give beautiful flowering in the summer, then you can transplant it in a beautiful vase or garden.
Yes it is possible.
Petunia - A beautiful and not a whimsical plant, essentially undemanding, lying in care, therefore loved to many flowers, can grow on any plot, that is, on the flower beds; along paving tracks in many cities, as well as on the balconies of apartments and even in room conditions, proper care Abundant flowering is the same guaranteed.
Most often, petunia is multiplied by seeds, as well as stalling, the choice is not large, you can use two methods for reproduction.
Yes, petunia can also be grown in room conditions, for this will suit the eastern and western windows.
After all, Petunia is a light-loving and thermal-loving plant, it is from bright lighting - the abundant flowering of petunia in room conditions depends on the room conditions, or otherwise stretched shoots - they will not be able to give the resulting flowers, the bloom will be rare, as well as high air temperature.
And of course, by the way, watering, the most important thing is that the soil does not save and was not overwhelmed, in hot weather - it is recommended to water abundantly, in the evening day.
Good luck to you cultivation and beautiful flowering.
Petunia is a beautiful-flower perennial, preferring heat, but in the context of the Russian climate, this plant is not able to survive the winter. Save the flower until next year you can with the way of shifting. This simple and effective method of cultivation of young crops is especially good for hybrid terry petunias, which cannot be raised from their own seeds without losing parental varieties.
This plant is distinguished by beautiful and long blossoms. The first buds are blown on the branches in the late spring and decorate the garden or balcony to the middle of the autumn. Since the flower blooms already in the first season after landing, most often it is grown as an annual. When cultivating rare or hybrid varieties This method is not very convenient, since the next year you need to re-buy seeds for growing capricious seedlings. It is possible to simplify the task if you save petunia for the winter in the form of cuttings.
Compared to the annual seeds of seeds, the following advantages of this method are distinguished:
If necessary, this procedure can be carried out not only for the winter, but also round year. In this way, ampel varieties and calibero are usually stored. Terry varieties of the plant shine in the winter months and spring.
Maternal cultures from the fall must be transplant to a pot and save when favorable conditions. Optimal temperature mode For petunition in winter, it is +16 degrees. The illumination should be moderate, indoors - increased humidity. It is not necessary to increase the temperature, since then for comfortable existence, plants need a greater amount of light. Watering is preferably carried out rarely and not plentifully.
In the urban apartment, suitable conditions are very difficult to organize. Therefore, to keep petunia in winter is only cuttings. They do not need special care, he does not differ from the maintenance of ordinary room colors.
The cuttings in the winter months are cut off only with healthy, well-growing plants when young leaves are formed on the stems.
For winter storage, Petunia is pile in the last few days either in early September. At this time, the reproduction of cuttings occurs easily, since all the vital processes in the plant are still with the usual speed.
The planting material is taken from healthy, unreserved stems of sufficient length. They are cut off from the maternal plant by defect, leaving the pecks from 5 to 7 cm long. Then, from the cut branch, all buds are broken and blooming flowers. The resulting workpiece is cut into fragments with a length of 5-10 cm. Top is made on top, retreating from the leaf assembly by 1-1.5 cm. Bottom cuts the blank of the neglection. As a result, cuttings should turn out with one or two interstices and 2-4 pairs of leaves.
Strenches for landing
The lower oblique cut is powder with a powder stimulator of the root formation or a few hours are placed in a liquid solution with similar properties. To rooted the prepared cuttings can be in fertile soil or in water.
To plan the planting material immediately in the soil pre-prepare small containers with the soil. It is recommended to add perlite, vermiculite or coconut fiber to give greatercy. In the bottom of the package, several holes make it before filling it.
Small processes can be rooted in peat tablets. They have all the necessary nutrients for rapid growth, the right development and early flowering of young plants. Before boarding the leaves on cuttings should be cut off halfway to reduce moisture evaporation.
Rooting in the soil
The cuttings are planted, blocking the lower cut for 1-2 cm. Then the soil is watered with warm water. Capacities are covered with a polyethylene package to simulate greenhouse conditions. So far the planting material is not rooted, they are kept in a well-lit place. Every day the shelter is cleaned for several minutes for venting and watering. After 10-15 days, roots appear.
Creation of greenhouse conditions
The appearance of small leaflets in the sneakers of cuttings is evidenced by the successful rust of the roots. Then the package is removed and growing plants as well as seedlings: regularly moisturize the soil, spray and make periodically feeding. When 5-6 young leaflets appear, the top pinch to stimulate the side branch.
Rooted cuttings Petunia
Petunia shilling material is harvested in the same way. The length of the sliced \u200b\u200bblanks should be from 10 to 12 cm. Each of them is left by 5 or more sheets. To reduce the area of \u200b\u200bevaporation, leaf plates can be half shortening.
Plastic cups with boiled and cold water prepare in advance, and immediately after cutting, the prepared material is placed in them. For faster development, the cups put on a darkened place or use an opaque container for tanks. To create cuttings for greenhouse conditions, they close them from above cut plastic bottle either polyethylene package. Water in cups will gradually evaporate, so it is poured from time to time.
After 10-15 days on the lower cuts, the first roots will notice. After that, the cuttings hold in the water for about seven days, and then they are recommended to plant a fertile soil.
At home, care for cuttings is easy. It consists in fulfilling several mandatory events:
For spring, young severe plants are formed from planted cuttings. They should be transplanted by transshipment into more spacious pots, suspended porridges or disembark with the onset of spring to open ground. Petunia's blossoms obtained in this way begin in March or in April.
When growing terry varieties of petunias from seedlings of plants differ in slow growth and a small length of shoots. Therefore, the shilling in the winter is performed later, by giving the branches to grow on sufficient length. Landing material of terry petunia is rooted exclusively in the soil.
Ampel varieties are silent throughout the vegetative season. You can start this procedure 2 months after the seedlings shoot. If the branches grow quickly, then the pavement can be carried out twice a month. So you can get a lot of new plants and rejuvenate maternal. It enhances the growth of lateral processes and encourages petunia to active flowering.
Few flower flows think that Petunia is perennial in nature. In the harsh conditions of our country, it is almost all grown as an annual. I propose to consider ways to preserve the gorgeous plant in the winter.
The cultivation of petunia from seeds is troublesome. Not every amateur has enough patience to picking microscopic seedlings. Very often seedlings in the first stages amazed by a black leg. Before the adult, the units come in. Therefore, it makes sense to "try happiness" and save you liked the specimens at home.
In recent years, several types and varieties of Petunia are derived, which do not give seeds. But they perfectly breed vegetatively: Surfinia, Calibaho, terry hybrids. In order to cut the spring cutter from them, it is necessary for the winter storage of royaltics.
Ideal conditions of content in winter:
increased humidity;
low temperature (not higher than 10 degrees);
rare Polish (1 time per week);
lack of feeding;
good lighting.
How to create these conditions and keep plants to spring?
The attacked uterine bushes are cut at a height of 18 cm, removing dried leaves and branches. Replanted into separate capacity with a volume of at least 3-5 liters, depending on the size of the plant.
At the beginning of autumn, without waiting for a strong cooling on the street, they first enter the veranda or glazed non-jarny balcony. A month, they move into the house, selecting the coldest place, but with good illumination.
In private homes fit: a warmed veranda, a window in the basement, the gap between wooden Ramami (If the distance allows). Apartments have on a warmed or heated balcony, on the windowsill closer to the glass. To reduce heat, a thick blanket is thrown on the batteries.
Colors engaged in the cultivation of seedlings for its implementation, equipping heated greenhouses or greenhouses in the garden. If possible B. unheated premises Support the temperature from 6 to 10 degrees.
There is a second embodiment of the planting material in the form of cuttings. In early August, branches with three interstices are cut from garden specimens. The two top sheets are left, and the bottom is removed.
Rooted in two ways:
1. In an aqueous solution with the addition of activated carbon tablets for disinfection. Thoroughly inspect the sprigs every day to prevent their posting. Leaves should not fall into the solution. When the roots appear, transfer to the pots from the ground.
2. After treatment, Kornvin is immediately planted in Kashpo 2-3 pieces. For 3 weeks are covered with banks to enhance humidity. Planting 1 time per day is ventilated so that condensate and mold do not form. Cover from direct sunlight.
After 3 weeks, the kidneys begin to grow. The shelter is removed. Over the 4 sheet, the growth point is pinching for greater tissue. So that the plant turns out a lush, this operation is repeated several times with each new escape. Such bushes at the end of August are stored. They better tolerate the conditions of wintering than the uterine plants. Caring for them is the same as for ordinary room colors. During this period, there is a boss in the evening and in the morning, feeding with complex fertilizers 1 time in two weeks.
Petunia from Chenkov continues flowering until December. True, inflorescences in winter are becoming smaller. Then the period of rest comes, and in February a new wave of buds is formed.
In March, kidneys wake up in the uterine bushes, the stalks begin to grow. If there are greenhouses from glass or cellular polycarbonate, then plants are entered there. There is enough light here, and the temperature holds at least 5 degrees at this time. Self perfect conditions To obtain a strong planting material.
In April, the cuttings are harvested. Rooted the same way as described above. Unlike plants grown by seeds, blooming on them begins much earlier. After 1-1.5 months, the first buds appear.
The color of the inflorescence of modern Petunia varieties is so diverse and unpredictable that even on one bush is difficult to find 2 equally painted instances. Therefore, I want to keep for yourself the most beautiful plants and admire more than one year.
Petunia is a plant of southern countries, even in autumn she continues to bloom in a flowerbed or a vase, without guessing that cold will come very soon, and she will die. That this does not happen, the plant should take care of a flowerflower about the plant, this is especially important if the grader who you who loved you does not give seeds, and to resume it with the arrival of spring with nothing.
There are two ways to preserve petunia in winter - cuttings or uterine plant.
To preserve the uterine plant, it is removed from the ground with a lump of land, placed in a spacious container and enter the room - it should be light and at an acceptable temperature not lower than + 10-15 degrees.
When transplanting, which is carried out with the autumn, remove damaged and dried leaves and shoots. Healthy branches are cut up to 10-15 cm. If the petunias grew in a vase, it is not necessary to dig it - it remains easy to put it in the room, and create the necessary conditions.
The cultivation of petunia from seeds at home necessarily provides for a pickup. The exception is the method when cropping seedlings are used. peat tablets. After the sprouts come to force, they will acquire five - six full-fledged leaves, they can be searched on separate containers. This process is called pickup, it is necessary to produce it very carefully, so as not to damage the fragile root system.
From this time, seedlings need to teach to periodic hardening. At first, there will be enough 10-15 minutes of staying plants where cool - 10-15ºC - with the subsequent increase in time.
If you want future petunia bushes to be lush, densely branched, then be sure to make (not once). To do this, it is necessary to trim the growth point of the stem at the level of the approximately 5th sheet - this technique provoke the growth of new shoots out of the remaining leaves.
When seedlings gain strength, it may even give first flowers, petunia can be planted on a flowerbed.
Watering should be minimal, whatever the soil does not swap, and the drawing shoots should be segged. At the end of February, you can already start shining.
From the plants, the strongest shoots are taken and cut into cuttings with 2 - 3 interstices, the lower leaves are deleted. The cuttings are processed by a means for the root of education (rhizomes or green) and planted into the substrate with the top layer of river sand 3 - 4 cm thick, it will prevent possible dropping of cuttings due to overflow.
Further care as an ordinary seedler with a subsequent landing in the ground.
Water drinking abundantly, so that the water began to get out of the drain holes. In this case, there will be confidence that the earth was in full swing. Usually in summer petunias watered 2 times a day - in the morning and in the evening. An important rule: never start watering if the hot sun shines on flowers. You will achieve the fact that the roots in wet soil Start "boiling", and this can lead to the death of the plant. In accordance with the focus of your balcony, work out your own irrigation schedule. For example, if the straight rays of the Sun fall on it from 8 h. Up to 14 hours, then water the landing in 7h. And at 15:00 (or a little later, for example, immediately, as soon as you come in the evening from work).
Please note that in May - early June, when Petunia is already at night on the balcony (Street), at night is still cool enough. So try not to water the plants in the late evening to avoid the hypother of the roots. The same can be said about autumn - September and October. In summer, such precautions are irrelevant.
In dry summer days, Petunia should be sprayed with warm water from the spray. It will be good prevention against custom tick And the plant will be saturated from the outside. Evening abundant spraying perfectly affects the state of petunia, makes them healthier and strong. Spraying should be carried out when the sun goes from your balcony. Otherwise, on plants will definitely remain sunburns - the rays will pass through water drops, like through the lenses and burn the sheet plate.
The hauling is an excellent, non-idle way of reproducing this flower. High percentage of rooting, simple care of bushes - pluses of this method.
To do this, cut off from a full, strong plant the upper cuttings, approximately 10-12 cm long. It is worth mentioning that about this, the opinions of the experienced gardeners are divided, as some advise the side shoots to take over the root of the plant. It is worth noting that both options work well, they subsequently give a positive result.
The reproduction of Petunia cuttings produce closer to autumn (end of August - September). From the sections of the stem, the lower leaves are removed, and they themselves are briefly immersed in the container with a solution of a biostimulating drug, for example, rhizomes. After that, the cuttings are cleared around the cups, correspond to them. Soil (or sand), where the cutlets were placed, should always be moistened. You can also use pure vermiculite.
Frames at the shoots are formed by 7 or 10 days. After rooting the cutlets, you can transplant - the small pot of diameter 12-15 cm is just suitable. Here Petunia can survive winter. Undercantling with complex fertilizers of rooted cuttings is very important.
To the root system of the plant well formed, the cuttings need to be lowered for some time into a solution with phytohormones.
Since the root system in Petunia is very powerful and thick, then you should not neglect the care of it, since it is the roots that will affect the further development of the flower.
After that, the cuttings are planted into drawers with wet sand or loose soil, the depth of planting is 4 cm. The cuttings need to plant close to each other, literally 2-3 cm apart.
Then the land can be pressing with hands and pour.
The box should be put in a bright place, pre-enchanted with a film or glass.
Terry Petunia I transplange in early August so that the plant would still have a good to root, the transplant is tolerated rather simply, it is advisable to dig it with a large lounge.
And the varieties of ampeline petunias, I still sit in the spring in some pots and with the onset of cold weather I put into the house. You can also transfer them in the middle of summer, but I noticed that non-transplanted ampel varieties are preserved better.
If you do not want to touch the plant on the flower bed in the summer, in late June - early August, cut cuttings from it, root them and, already rooted petunia, keep it for the winter. According to my observations, such plants easier tolerate winter in the apartment.
Petunia is rooted easily. FROM blooming Plants I cut the cuttings with two interstices, cutting leaves. It is better to use not the top pieces of shoots, and the sidelords of the long-range siblings are 7-9 cm. Bottom cutout cutting in the most interstilia, drying up in the rhizomes, land in the cups and put in the shadow. The main thing is to carefully ensure that the soil does not drive. After 7-10 days, roots appear. The root cuttings transplant to the pot in a diameter of 12-15 cm, in which they will winter. Plants necessarily feed the complex fertilizer.
There are 2 preservation options for the winter:
Adults of Petunia bushes can be saved until spring, if you transfer them to a bright and non-breaking room. There should be light, quite humid, optimal t \u003d 10-15 ° C (but less, the main thing is that the temperature does not fall below 0 ° C). Suitable conditions are on closed verandas, insulated or southern loggias, on the windowsill of the entrances.
Petunia bushes are digging, transplanted into the pots and enter the room. You need to have time to do it before frosts, that is, in September - November. The plant cuts dry leaves damaged, fired branches. A cardinal haircut is practiced: all branches are cut to 10-15 cm /
For winter storage, the petunia is stupid at the end of August - September. In this petunia, the cuttings multiply easily, as the life processes in it are not slow. 5-10 days after planting, the plants appear roots.
With a petunony, a cutlets are cut with a length of 5-10 cm, they plant them into the cups, cover with a "pyric". After rooting, they are put in a cool, bright place. For example, on the windowsill, closer to the glass. To increase the moisture content of the content, near young petunitions you can install a jar with water.
Sufficient irrigation - after drying the top layer of the soil;
In the spring of the cuttings, which have already arranged in young bushes of petunia, can be transferred to balcony containers or planted in a flowerbed. Also, they can be drawn again and already from new cuttings grow the right amount of planting material.
In order to save the beauty begonia until the next season, it is necessary to properly organize the rest period. In most cases, with the arrival of summer and the onset of warm verses, flower days are trying to make their plants on open air. Even Begonias, living in room conditions, feel much better on the street. They are actively gaining green mass, form new shoots and buds. In anticipation of cold weather, a pot with a plant from the street must be transferred to the room. Now it's time to prepare it to peace, which means that watering needs to be cut. In principle, watering the bush less often begin while in the fresh air, and when the flower "moves" into the house - the soil does not need to moisturize. After all, tubers should be able to dry before placing a storage. If there is an opportunity, the plant for the winter can be left directly in the pot. Previously all shoots will have to cut. Pot to put in a dry room with a stable positive air temperature, such as a basement. In the absence of basement, tubers must be stored in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf. Before laying a storage, begonia should be removed from the vase and free from the substrate. Next, hold such events:
In the package to lay peat and place the begoniaballs there. Instead of peat, use and moss - sphagnum.
The ideal temperature for wintering is 10-15 ° C, if less - not scary, most importantly, not lower than 0 ° C. For this plant you need to dig up, put in the pots before the onset of the first cold (September - November), the most optimal term for this - mid-August. All dried, torn leaves must be removed. You can do more radically - crash all branches up to 10-12 cm. To comfortably survive the winter, petunia is enough to water 2 or 3 times a month.
Petunia's adult plant has a strong, well-branched root system, therefore, a large capacity is needed to grow a plant (5-6 liters per plant).
Petunia loves regular feeding. How do you remember for the first time it began to feed it two weeks after the dive. At a young age, feeding nitrogen fertilizers prevail. To bookmark buds and abundant flowering, potassium and phosphorus needed. An adult plant must be fed every 5-7 days.
Regular removal of the seed flowers and boxes with seeds will extend the total blossom of the bush. To obtain a bushy magnificent copy, petunia needs when tweaked over the third - fifth leaves.
