Among the family of daisies there are very exotic specials. Flowers of walney (or as it is also called gazania), in the wild, it is found at the hot African continent. Accordingly, the culture is pretty easily tolerating and the scorching sun and the July stern with a long drought. This plant is ideal for landscaping country sites, where their owners have the opportunity to achieve only on weekends once a week. Under the observance of agrotechnics, their cultivation of seeds by sowing to seedlings does not represent special difficulties even for beginner flower flowers. Right landing And no good care will create favorable conditions for active and prolonged flowering. Look at the photo of Gotania varieties and continue the conversation about the cultivation of this flower culture:

Brief description of culture and photos

First you need to spend at least a superficial acquaintance with an African stranger. Short description Gotania colors includes several important aspects:

• Gazania is the Latin name type;
• different with low growth of bushes up to 40 cm;
• refers to the family of comprehensible;
• the stem is covered with carved, tightly planted foliage;
• color of stems and foliage - rich green;
• part of the varieties is present with silver omitting of all green parts, which gives greater decorative culture;
• bud consists of a middle in the form of pads and framing her petals;
• spectrum of the color of buds - from white to violet.

The flowering period falls at the beginning of July - mid-October. Often you can see the flowering plants even after the first snow falling. This feature of varieties with the downsion, which protects the vegetative parts from the cold. Look at the photo of the Flowers of Gotania in various types:

Basically, the flower is cultivated as an annual, although in fact it is a perennial, to preserve which in our climatic conditions is not possible. At least in the conditions of open soil. Although the rates you like can be transplanted in the fall in the vases and thus maintain them at home until next spring.

Popular varieties of gotsyania and their photos

The group of these plants is so extensive that at first it is divided into varieties and only then to the varietal groups. Popular varieties of gotsyania are currently represented by more than 50 sample names. Select among them suitable for your garden is not very simple. Therefore, we will try to provide all the assistance. The following are some varieties of shops, their descriptions and photos.

A special place in any garden is a snow-white shopping, pleasing to the eye of the boat caps of buds. Gazania Nivea is used in the design of flower and borders. Not demanding in care and has a long flowering period.

One-metering and filament forms are not too common. But the Peacina of Gotania uses well-deservedly popular thanks to the specific color of the petals. Gazania Pavonia is widespread in European cultural gardens. In Russia, the variety is quite rare, grown mainly from seeds eat methodohm.

Hybrid varieties of shops possess terry complex bulk diameter bootons in comparison with simple forms. Gazania x Hybrida boasts a few rows of beautifully rolled tubular petals of white and yellow, red and purple flowers. Compactly assembled socket rosette of pubescent leaves is decorated with constantly updated inflorescences. Their diameter reaches 10 cm. The height of the bush rarely exceeds 25 cm. This is a beautiful border plant for decorating garden tracks and radial circles of flower beds.

Among the varieties are highlighted species with an unusual striped coloring petals. This creates a feeling of rainbow reflected in each separate bud. Raspberry and orange, lilac and white, yellow and purple coloring are common. If you look at each individual flower, then in the middle there are yellow small tubes around which brown or black tubes are located. Then the petals of different colors are attached.

A feature of all varieties of gotsyania is their reaction to the setting sun. Immediately after sunset, all buds are folded and dissolved again only after morning dawn. The only exception is the hybrid Talent variety - it blooms even at night. Buds are framed by bushes with great legislation on green foliage and tables.

The process of growing gating from seeds: sowing on seedlings and subsequent care

There are several ways to reproduce this plant. However, the scattering of gating from seeds is the easiest and most popular area of \u200b\u200bculture agricultural equipment. The seeding process on seedlings begins in mid-February and continues until the end of March. It is in these deadlines that it is desirable to land in the seedlings. In a later date, the period of active flowering is significantly reduced. Although direct sowing to the ground since mid-April is practiced in the southern regions. Sometimes such seedlings even overtake in the growth of their competitors grown by a seaside way. The correct subsequent departure after disembarking in the ground provides active growth and fast blossom offensive.

For gating growing, a lightly well-structured soil is required, which does not suffer from the convergence. Milnage plots and wetlands for this culture are categorically not suitable.

Let's start with the seedlings of Gotania - sowing seeds in mid-March. We prepare the containers with a depth of up to 10 cm. Fill them with light soil and make grooves depth to 5 mm. Unlock pretty large seeds Gotanya, sprinkle the earth and irrigation from the spray gun to miss the entire earthen coma. Then the container is hermetically closed with a polyethylene film and put in a warm place. Shoots will appear after 2 weeks. At this point, it is important to immediately set the containers with the seedl of the solar window, otherwise the seedlings stretch and may die. Watering seedlings is carried out as the soil drying. As soon as the second pair of real leaves is grown, pick up the seedlings into separate peat pots.

How to grow gotsyania at home?

Yes, this culture can be successfully grown as a room plant. And there are two ways. The first is that the seedlings obtained initially leave in a pot or in a vase in room conditions. Although it is also not prohibited by fresh air. The second way to grow gatzania at home is to transplant plants grown in open ground. The main thing is to make it before the onset of the autumn cold. When digging the plant should be carefully wrapped with a shovel so as not to damage the root system. It is located at a depth of about 30 cm.

Another way is the rooting of the cuttings obtained from an adult plant in the open ground or home. Gotanyania is easily rooted in water. After the appearance of the roots should be landing in the pot.

The rules of care at home are not much different from the open soil. It is to ensure a sufficient amount of sunlight, regular watering after driving an earthen lump, making mineral complex fertilizers.

Astrovy colors family numbers about 40 species. Goting or gas is highlighted by beauty from all astes. The birthplace of the flower is Mozambique, South African countries. Many people call the flower of an African chamomile. Gotania can be found on the Australian coast covered with dunes. Gotanya fell into Europe in the 17th century.

People dedicated him to one Italian priest - theodore of Gas background. He did a huge work, gave his life to transfers of the works of theophrass and Aristotle. Gazania blooms on the hot sun at noon, attracting its golden color. In the West of Europe, it was called "midday gold." At night, the African chamomile closes, sleeps.

Description of Gatsania

Gotanyan is annually and, the stem rarely grow more than 30 centimeters, sometimes it does not grow at all. Root leaves form a socket. The flower is distinguished by dense leaves, rich green, sometimes they have a gray-green shade. The shape of the leaves may vary, it depends on the variety. On the inside of the leaves there are villins protecting from cold and dehydration. Therefore, Gotanya will transfer drought. The hot homeland makes itself felt, the flower will pass the test with a strong heat and lack of water.

Flower basket has a diameter of 5-9 cm. The color range of colors varies from yellow, orange to a red shade. The base of each plant has contrast spots. The middle will be resurrected by a variety of tubular flowers of yellow shades. After flowering, the pouring seed makes it possible to get a fruit. Seeds can be planted again.

Goting from seeds at home and in open soil

Many novice flowers are interested in growing an African chamomile. They are interested in how to achieve wonderful flowering. The secret is simple, let's try to figure it out.

If we sow in the ground

Flower of gating in the soil photo of seeds from seeds sown under winter

• When sowing seeds in spring Climatic conditions are taken into account. Cool climate, late spring prevents early landing. But as soon as the soil matures, it is safe to sow: plants will go only when favorable conditions are created.
• Seeds can be sowed under the winter With the calculation to the fact that they will not have time to climb. This may be the end of October - the beginning of November. The garden is better to climb with fallen leaves, which, besides, protect seeds from frost. In the spring, the seeds will give shoots, as soon as the Earth warms.

Grocery before sowing is thoroughly align, make smooth grooves in a depth of about 5 cm and try to sow as much as possible. Later it will be possible to break, if it all goes away. The distance between the rows of 20-25 cm, if you do not reset the plants. After thinning the bushes in the row, also save the distance 20-25 cm.

If the garden is planned as a hotbed, you can make a groove after 8-10 cm and leave the distance in a row of 5-6 cm. When the seedlings rises, it is watered and pulling out with a lore earth. You can use the garden shovel and gently dig up plants for transplant.

If we grow seedlings at home

Optimal time For sowing seeds to seedlings - mid-March or early April. Landing containers must be deep enough. Roots need to give space.

• • Goting does not tolerate heavy soil. It is necessary to choose a lightweight substrate well transmitting water. Acidness rate - 5.5-6.5.
  • Seeds are sowing rarely (2-4 cm between them), the depth of the seal is only 0.5-1 cm, otherwise they will not sprout.
  • For the task of becoming easier, imagine that the land plot is a chessboard. Gazanian seeds place as chess, observing the distance between them - 2-3 centimeters. Just put the seeds, suck the ground.

• The pulverizer will help moistening sowing: so there will be an excess of moisture, and the water is evenly moistened with the entire surface.
• The air temperature should be at least 18-20 degrees.
• Seeds are better to cover with a film, ensuring sufficient humidity. But the film needs to be opened daily. It is necessary to remove the condensate formed under the film.
• Sprouts appear in 7-14 days.
• The shelter is removed, watering as the earth dries, excessive moisture is not needed.
• Thick shoots can be signed in separate cups when 2-3 real leaves appear. You can help yourself with an ordinary fork or toothpick.
• A week before landing, leaving them on the street first a short time, and gradually increasing the interval until full day.

In general, the cultivation of seedlings of Gazania is not difficult, it is enough to simply exercise timely watering. Hardware flowers can show additional attention and feed the seedlings 1-2 times before disembarking in the ground, after 10-12 days a minimum.

How to sow gas to seedlings, tells the video:

Perhaps the most lazy flower and inexperienced beginner will easily cope with such a simple task as gating growing. At the same time, you will get a magnificent planting material and a stunning perennial who is able to decorate any corner of the garden, make it bright and fantastically attractive.

Surprisingly, many flowerflowers can not part with a favorite flower and grow it on the windowsill, in the summer they decorate them balconies. There are also annuals specifically designed for these purposes.

Gazania

Flower of Gotania Hybrid photo seedlings Cultivation of seeds When landing shopping into an outdoor ground

If the seedlings of gotsyania is in a deep container, the dive is not needed. Shallow container will not give freedom to roots. It is necessary to wait for the appearance of the fourth leaves, sear the plants on separate disposable containers. Before planting seedlings in the ground, it is necessary to support her for a while at home. Young pig iron can be on a closed loggia, at a temperature of 12-16 degrees. Start hardening the plants, opening the window for a few minutes. Do not allow drafts. Hardening has a beneficial effect, the plant becomes strong. When you land the gas in the garden or flower, seedlings will not die from the cold.

Goting landing in open ground

Wait warm weather when you are sure that the last frosts are behind, only then plan the Gazan. Optimal landing time - mid-spring. These flowers love the sun's rays, it is better to put them on an open area. The soil must be quite nutritious. Gotania is not afraid of heat and will feel great, even if drought comes.

• Peat pot with seedlings landed immediately to the ground.
• Seedlings in the box should be removed along with the root with the help of a scoop, put in the ground.
• Try not to damage the root system.
• Observe the distance between the bushes - 20 cm.
• Seedlings need 3 months on growth, and it will delight you with beautiful flowers.

Care for African Chamomile Gazania

• This flower will not require special care. The soil is nutritious, well-drained, the sun's rays will give the plant vitality.
• Cooling - not a reason for anxiety, Gotania will withstand a small frost in -5 ... -7 C.
• The soil where gas is growing, you need to loosen, remove weeds, dried inflorescences.
• To avoid problems with weeds, drought, the ground can be mulched.
• Even the most fertile soil can not provide a flower with a sufficient amount of nutrients. Therefore, you will have to feed, once a month. With poor soil, it is necessary to feed the plant every 2-3 weeks. For feeding you need to take a mineral complex fertilizer. 25 grams grabs 1 square meter.

Bloom

After sowing seeds, after 3 months, wait for the flowering. With a timely landing, this will happen in June. The plant will delight with its beautiful colors until November. Life cycle One basket is about 3 weeks. At night, during the rain of gating closes. Goting will not bloom if the sunlight is not enough. With an excess of moisture, the late transplant of gas may also not be disclosed. Provided optimal conditionsYou will enjoy beautiful, numerous colors. But if the conditions are bad, the colors will not wait.

How to propagate gazania cuttings

Cuttings can be chopped at any convenient time: it may be summer, autumn or even winter when the gas is in the house on wintering.

• Cut a cutlery with a length of 10-12 cm, remove the leaves at the bottom of the trunk, we lower in the powder Korninn and the "plant" into the nutrient soil.
• For rooting, we support high soil moisture.
• After about a month and a half, the cuttings will give roots and go to growth. After two or three months will be ready for landing into the ground.

Diseases and pests

Although walzania is not very susceptible to diseases, but sometimes they happen. In bad conditions, the plant becomes weak, can get sulfur with gray rot. Phitosporin helps to defeat the disease. Grease healthy areas of plants, patients are simply removed.

Snails, web tick, not damage to gas, the use of certain means will help get rid of misfortunes. Snails just need to clean your hands, to destroy the phytoofer or acarin. Preparations Aktellik, Fufanon, dutchs will get rid of the spider tick.

Collection of seeds

Gotania rarely lives to fruiting, as the summer in our territories quickly ends. But if summer is roast and long, you can quite wait for seeds. Unfortunately, seeds of hybrid plants do not retain species signs. And in our garden sites, only hybrid varieties are predominantly.

Ripe seeds can fly away from wind gusts like dandelions. If you want to collect seeds from varietal plants, then protect the flower from the wind, wrapping it with gauze. When you see the appearance of a lecture gun, make a basket and leave to ripen for a couple of weeks in a dark dry place. Store seeds are recommended in a bag of cotton fabric or paper bag, be sure to at a temperature not higher than 22-24 ° C. But learning where it is completely cool: 15-18 ° C. Increased humidity unacceptable.

Zimovka Gasanya

Usually, after flowering, the remains of gotsyania are simply cut and thrown away, and on next yearand begin everything in a new way. No need to prepare seeds, sow, wait for good weather. The old plant is able to bloom again, delight with its beauty for the next year. To do this, it can be dug and transplant to the pot.

Then the gasania should be transferred to the cool room, where the temperature does not downgrade to 8-10. This room should be sufficiently light so that the gas can continue to develop. Sleeping plant must be watered, the earth should not dry. In the spring, you can again put a gazan on the flowerbed. New, re-emerged shoots, while you need to cut off to half.

From the cropped gas, new plants are obtained, they simply add them enough to the water before the appearance of the roots or simply immediately put into the nutrient mixture, ensuring abundant irrigation. In winter, shops can be cropped and in the spring to get new full-fledged seedlings.

Types and varieties of gas with photos and descriptions

Gazania Long-told Gazania Longiscapa

Capably blossom only one year. This gazania does not grow more than 15-20 cm. Near the roots are all-round leaves of bright green. They usually fall from below. In the basket, you can find many tubular and tongue flowers. The flowers themselves have a bright yellow color, but the base is brown.

The plant height up to thirty centimeters blooms with tongue colors, whose color can be the most diverse. Buds bloom in the middle of summer and bloom to the most frosts. Stems of gazania are covered with green palphess or linear leaves.

The breeders were derived a large number of gating hybrid varieties, among which you can allocate:

Goting from seeds

Growing in nature perennial In the gardens of our country, they are grown as annual. Seedling Gazania is developing very slowly, so planting seeds should be done in mid-May. The flower has a long rod root for which deep-cutting containers are selected. The soil for crops should be drained and light. Seeds are laid out on the soil with a distance of each other in two or three centimeters and poured with a small layer of the nutrient substrate.

Sowing spray water room temperature Using a spacker and covered with polyethylene or glass. The seating containers are placed in a well-lit, warm place with air temperature within +20 degrees. Caring for crops is in the daily inspection of soil moisture and its ventilation. You can not allow the drying of the soil, otherwise the seeds can dry and will not be processed. If necessary, the soil is moistened with extreme water. It is best to use a pulverizer for this.

In favorable conditions and proper care After one or two weeks, shoots will appear. Seedlings of Flower of Gotanya requires the following care:

With proper care and hardening, strong young plants will grow, which with the onset of warm weather, you can plant in open ground.

Garden landing in the garden

As soon as the positive temperatures are installed, and the last frost will be held, seedlings can be planted into open ground. Flower beds should be located on a well-lit place where straight sun rays can come. Plant drought resistant and light-cuply.

Garden soil for landing should be nutritious. In it, with a distance of each other, twenty centimeters make holes in which bushes are placed along with a peat pot. If seedlings grew in deep boxes, then get plants from them with a long garden blade. In order not to damage the root, the bush on the greater depth is dug up and gets together with an earthen room. After planting the plant you need to not forget to pour. On well-lit plots and in light drainaged soil, blooming will come three months after sowing. Missed in the open soil of gatzania is not terrible, even cooling up to -5 degrees.

Gasania care in open soil

As the annual drought-resistant, it should be watered moderately. If summer roast and rains do not go, then bushes are watering after the soil. So that the soil does not swam, you can climb the planting peat.

After irrigations, weeding and loosening of the soil are carried out. Covered mulch soil is less likely and weeds almost do not grow on it.

Every month flowers are fed by mineral fertilizers for flowering plants. But if the soil in the garden is not fertile, then the feeding should be done twice a month. Otherwise, the plants will bloom poorly.

To extend flowering and to quickly formed new buds, faded flowers are recommended to immediately delete. Grown through seedlings of Gazania will be abundantly blossoming since the beginning of June and before the onset of cold weather. In cloudy weather and in the evening, flowers are closed, and in the morning and in sunny weather they open.

Gasani Care in the fall

An annual plant after flowering and with the onset of cold days you need to trim and burn to destroy the pests settled on it. You can save the flower until the next spring, dig up the bushes and putting them in the pots. Store in the winter of shops is necessary at a temperature of about +10 degrees. The room must necessarily be light. Watering plants rarely, only after a complete burden of soil. Spring flowers are planted on the flowerbed and their shoots are half cut.

To assemble the fall seeds in the fall, gauze piles are put on the beginners to fading the flowers. It is necessary that the ripe seeds do not fall or not scattered. However, the hybrid varieties grown in the gardens of their varietal and species signs do not preserve, so there is no meaning to collect.

Pests and diseases

The plant is resistant to pests and diseases, however, errors in the care and unfavorable weather conditions for the flower can lead to the damage to the flower with fungal or viral diseases and various pests.

Insufficient lighting and excess of moisture can cause the appearance of gray rot. Save the plant is possible only at the initial stage of the disease. For this it is necessary to carry out the processing of fungicidal preparations. Highly affected bushes are removed and burned. The soil on which they grew is processed by phytoosporin.

The lower sheets of gotsyania love to break the snails that should be collected by hand. If the flower began to turn yellow and knit leaflets, you should examine them from below. It is possible that they settled by the web ticks or troubles. Pests feed on the juice of the plant, so the leaves dry and fall. You can destroy the spider tick using dietary, fufanon or accutelica. From Tli bushes are processed by inta-virus, akarin or phytodeterm.

Gasia in landscape design

Making the flowerbed, it is necessary to keep in mind that gotsyania cannot be planted near high plants. They will create a shadow for a light-affilious flower, which in case of insufficient lighting will bloom badly.

It is possible to use low shops of gating in the following cases:

Beautiful will look bright bedspread from Gazania, if you put flowers among lawn grass. The best neighbors for the African chamomile will be: gypsophila, chamomile, Veniding, Ursnia, Arctotis, IBOOIS, Lobelia.

Many gardeners use gas to compile bouquets, as a cut flower stands for a long time in vases with water.

A bright gasania flower with proper care will decorate the flower of the flower with their abundant blossom from the beginning of summer and to deep autumn. Even if you rarely come to your country cottage areaThe plant does not start, because it is distinguished by drought resistance. The main thing is to provide him with a well-lit place, otherwise you can not wait for beautiful flowering.

Gotanya, or Gazania - the low-speed plant of the Astrov family, beloved worldwide for bright colors and unpretentiousness. It was brought to Europe in the middle of the XVIII century from South Africa, so it is often referred to as an African chamomile. The African name of this plant is translated as a "oil flower", since the petals of taste resemble oil.

Gasania is a bush up to 15-50 cm high. Dense narrow dark green or gray-green leaves are assembled into a root rosette, from which flowerca with single inflorescences - baskets with a diameter of 3-9 cm.

Gasy petals are different colors: pink, red, white, but most often yellow or orange, often with longitudinal strips of more dark and bright shades with a dark spot at the base. The outer surface of the petals is often brilliant. At the same time, there can be up to 30 color seals on shopping. Flowers are revealed only with bright sunlight, and under cloudy weather remain closed. Seeds are hairy seeds with a hokholcom.

Gotanyania is a perennial, however, in the northern latitudes is grown as an annual. The flowering period continues from the beginning of summer to frosts.

Gotazania reproduction

Flowers can buy gazania already rescued seedlings. But it is much more interesting and cheaper to grow seedlings on their own seeds or from cuttings.

Goting from seeds

It is hardly possible to assemble your seeds of Gotania, since we have them all over a very hot summer. But it is not difficult to buy them. Seed seed in February with the calculation that at the end of May or beginning of June, 3 months after the appearance of germs, the gas will begin to bloom.

You can grow seedlings in two ways: with picking and without. In the first case, for planting a sufficiently shallow packaging, in the second the box will need a depth of at least 10 cm, since walzany usually has a long rod root.

The algorithm of action is as follows:

• in the box pour lung soil mixture, moisturizes, spend grooves;
• seeds are rare enough, the minimum distance between rows is 3 cm, in a row - 2 cm;
• after landing, the seeds cover the layer of earth or sand not more than 5 mm,
• spray from the sprayer,
• cover with a transparent lid or package and put in a bright place.

Optimal temperature for germination 18-20 ºC. Every day the box with a seedler must be aircraft, removing condensate from the lid. Seeds germinate after 1-2 weeks.

If the seedlings climbed too often or a decomposition box shallow, then when repeated 2-4 real leaves, the seedlings are seedlings and transplanted into separate pots or cassettes. After transplantation, plants need a temperature of 12-16 ºC, with more warm conditions they can stretch out. Watered as the earthen coma is drying, without pouring.

Reproduction of cuttings

Hybrid varieties of gotsyania do not give caused seeds, so they are breeding with stalling. To do this, at the end of the summer, a part of the weed stem is cut off from a well-rated bush and, drinking a cut root, placed in mini-greenhouse. After 1.5-2 months, the cuttings will grow roots, and it will be possible to transplanted it into a pot for wintering, and in the spring it is planted in a flowerbed.

Landing and care

Care for gating is easy, you only need to comply with the basic guidelines for watering, the composition of the soil and placement of plants on the site.

Ready for landing in the garden seedlings of gas

Rules landing

In May-June, when the soil in the garden plot warms, the saplings can be transplanted into open ground at a distance of 25 cm from each other.

This African plant prefers light poor sandy and stony soils. It is necessary to develop normally and plentifully blossoming the gas can only on solar sites, on which water does not cause.

Care for gatzania

The plant is exceptionally drought-resistant, watering is needed only with a long lack of rain. Caring for Gazania is to remove old flowers, as well as a weeding and loosening, which can be replaced with mulching.

On the poor soils, they will not be superfluous to gas jamming with complex mineral fertilizers 1-2 times a month. On fertile soil, you can do without fertilizers or apply them 2-3 times per season.

Diseases and pests

Gotania practically does not hurt and are not amazed by pests. The only possible problem is a gray rot, causing the posting. To save the plant, it is treated with fungicides. To avoid the disease, it is necessary to land shopping only in a lightly drained soil.

Wintering

As a long-term culture, this African chamomile grows only in warm countries, where the temperature usually does not fall below zero. However, a short-term decrease to -5-7 ºC Gotanya will survive. But in the Russian conditions, the cultivation of this plant in the open soil is impossible.

For wintering, the strongest bushes are taken and in October-November transplanted them into pots, which are in a bright room with a temperature of 8-10 ºC. Occasionally water when the soil will dry out. In the spring, overwhelmed gazeds are planted in an open ground, having trigteled the shoots.

Growing at home

Katsyania can be kept as a houseplant. The prerequisite for successful cultivation is intensive lighting. In summer, the plant will feel better to feel on the balcony.
