This plant belongs to the annuals, gardeners love it for a beautiful spectacular view. Cleom is called a "spray of champagne" or "spider's flower". This plant is characterized by a peculiar flowering: it begins to bloom from the bottom up, gradually the brush extends upwards and at the end the seed capsules are sprayed in all directions.
Cultivation of Cleoma
Seeds, as a rule, begin to be planted in March. Preliminary they should be soaked in Epin. In warm regions it is excellent to carry out sowing glands for the winter. The entire process of growing clover from seeds takes place in several stages.
Experts advise sowing in several calls at intervals of a week. Although the seeds of this plant are distinguished by their high germination, but almost always the first attempts to grow clover from seeds fail. It is slightly better for the germination performance when using peat tablets.
It should be borne in mind that planting seeds into the soil gives a much later flowering, and the seedling method will greatly accelerate it. Plant the seeds to a depth of about 2 cm.
Some growers do not dig in seeds when growing clay from seeds, but simply cover them with a layer of compost. Another great way to ensure high germination - sprinkle crops with ashes.
An important point in the cultivation of clover from the seeds is also a timely dive. The plant does not tolerate transplantation. So you can start changing the flower pot not earlier than two or three real leaves will appear on the seedling. At the same depth, the depth is approximately the height of the cotyledon leaf.
As for irrigation, the stagnation of water carries a real threat to the flower. The signal of excessive watering will be the so-called black leg syndrome. About two weeks later they begin to feed seedlings. For these purposes, mineral complex fertilizers are perfect. Do not forget to pinch the top to get a lush bloom.
Cleom's flowers - planting and care
Next, you should carefully follow all the tips for growing clover in the ground. Plant the finished seedlings only after warming, when the temperature does not drop below 15 ° C. Choose a place protected from the wind. It is best to look like a clover or a "splash of champagne" in group plantings either in the center or on the periphery of the flower garden.
It is desirable to find a well-lit place, and a good flowering will ensure a prepared and fertile soil. Watering in the future saplings better with warm rain water, do not forget to loosen the ground and in time to weed the planting.
