“We need to talk with flowers,” said my class teacher – a recognized chemistry teacher, walking along the plants of a class of a class of plants vigorously blooming on the windowsill, “so I regularly talk to them, so you see how they grow up! ”
“Well, you are my good, grow – grow,” she sentenced, smoothing the leaves, “l yuka, carry perchlorgedrosulfate, something he stopped blooming! ” – suddenly she screamed towards the laboratory assistant, from where Lyudka immediately ran out with some test tube.
“Yes, you need to talk with flowers,” I thought, reluctantly with my heart, throwing a storm of faded with stormy color and suddenly a crazy buttercup, who had suddenly been bought as a gift to my mother.
So how to care for flowers? Consider the example of a Chinese rose (hibiscus)
And now two questions have always disturbed me: why are these same representatives of the flora bloom, they fluff and delight the buyer’s eyes, and asking me – well, buy me more likely?
And the second – why, going to the pharmacy, where it stinks of medicines, stuffy, in the very corner in the darkness I saw the Decembrist (oh, God) all strewn with flowers, while in my house, well -groomed with fleshy leaves, standing in the best place , he did not want to bloom in any?
The answer is obvious to the first question – see. The entry of the article, without fertilizer, does not do. You can even make the most persistent and stubborn flower bloom. How many different potions are now sold for them. Of course, you can’t do this constantly, but it will not hurt. And again, do not blindly irrigate your favorite flower with fertilizer, in the hope that it will certainly delight your eye. Otherwise, you can “plant” him on this matter. You need to monitor his behavior. It’s not for nothing that when we buy violently flowering plants in stores, after some time they stop blooming at home. We do not know what and how many they were “fed” there “.
But on the second question … it still seems to me that flowers do not like too much care. So, once walking around the store near my house, I saw such a picture. There were two magnificent roses right in the aisle – one terry, the other with flowers, like bells. And just all completely strewn with flowers. Moreover, there were anyhow, somewhere, in the corner, propped up by some sticks, under strange blue lighting and in the absence of air circulation. And the question is – are they really watered there regularly? Or spray? And no one with them, at the end – does not talk heart to heart! Unless, the bored saleswoman of sweets will want to chat about life.
So I was sure that I would never make a flower grower. Well, the flowers do not obey me. I am to them with all my heart – water, fertilizer, spray and put in the sun. But they do not bloom, wither and even leave the leaves.
I have one rose. True, she came to me by an adult tree. And I decided that the pot in which she came to her does not suit her at all. I chose beautiful and more. And took up the transplant. This was my first transplant of such a large tree. And in vain I hoped for myself. But it was too late. Having tormented myself and the unfortunate rose, I still put her in a new pot. But she was not at all happy about this. Without understanding what happened, she lost her orientation in space, lowered her leaves and went to her senses for a long time. I really thought everything! I walked around her, persuaded, begged. All to no avail. But, having re -clinging me, she nevertheless decided to recover.
Proper trimming of a Chinese rose
And then there was spring on the nose. And I took up reading tips for the care of hibiscus. I really wanted to revive her. Of course, with the minimum use of chemicals. After reading that the rose needs regular haircut, I, remembering the experience of transplanting, was afraid. But, encouraged by the reviews of no more experienced flower growers, decided. I carefully tonsured a rose. Moreover, she was guided by the following principles:
– to cut the branches thin and long, almost without leaves, like thin and clumsy;
– cut too long branches at the ends;
– to form in such a way that the growth is in breadth, that is, from those sides where the crowns are not enough to direct growth in the right direction for a beautiful crown;
– And she spent the haircut itself in this way: at the junction of the sheet and the mother branch, cut the branch above the sheet, so that at the resulting junction – the “branch – leaf” formed a new escape. It is desirable. You can cut and just a branch without leaves. If you do it in early spring (namely, you need to do this in the spring), then the leaves will definitely go. Rose will wake up and come to life after winter hibernation.
Like mine. Quite unexpectedly, she suddenly let the buds. Gently say, I was surprised! I was more surprised (assuming that it would not reach flowering) when they began to bloom one by one by one. Here she stood and posed for almost three months.
So, even the most incapable “flower breeder” can learn something in terms of growing flowers. For example, I decided for myself that it is not at all necessary to rush over flowers with a desire to drink them again and again. It is better to sometimes remember them. They still do not like excessive care. And besides, Rosa generally signals that she wants to drink – she is sluggishly lowering the leaves. Actually, I must say that the flowers, in principle, signal themselves about all changes in their mood. Therefore, to introduce something new carefully, looking at their well -being. Rearranged to another place – looked, applied a new fertilizer – took a closer. Regarding the rose, I concluded that the key to success in:
– proper and timely watering (as mentioned – when she lowers the leaves), it is waterproof, so you can safely water (but still, do not overdo it);
– Rosa loves trimming very much in the spring (it will certainly flush and will probably bloom), but they need to be done carefully with orientation to the appearance and crown;
– Rose needs spraying, simple water from spray (this is done for the prevention of diseases due to dry air, especially in winter).
Nothing, as it turned out, superficial. I hope that this year it will bloom again.
