Elegant colorful and spectacular plant one planters planted as an annual, others - as perennial. Your task is not just to find a suitable variety for yourself, but also to correctly approach the seeding process. It's then that you get that lush flowering bush in the flowerpot. As a rule, flower growers and summer residents try to master the cultivation of ampel catarrhatus from seeds, since this form is most effective in plantings of different types.
Technology of growing cataracts from seeds
Before we turn to the issue of growing from seeds at home, once again remember that every part of the catarrhtum is poisonous and always worth working only in gloves. So, let's try to grow a cataract:
- The first stage in the process of growing from seeds will be soaking the planting material of catarrhtus flowers. We will use the classics and make a pink solution of potassium permanganate. There the seeds will spend about forty minutes, then dry a little on a napkin.
- While the seeds of the ampel catarrhatus dry, we will prepare the soil consisting of a mixture of leaf and sod soils, there also we will add peat and humus for cultivation. All we take in the same quantity and mix. To prevent fungus and pests, use the same solution of potassium permanganate.
- According to the technology of growing cataractaceous flowers from seeds, the latter will be sown in furrows about one and a half centimeters. Next, the landing will be sprayed with water from the spray gun, and covered with glass. Ideally, the seeds should germinate at a temperature of about 25 ° C.
- The last stage in the issue of growing from seeds - care for the cataract after the emergence of seedlings in the home. If you did it right, they will appear in a week. We transfer the already open planting to a sunny place and after reaching the height of the seedlings 8 cm we dump into separate pots. In each pot we plant up to three plants.
