Mirt ordinary is an evergreen plant. Care at home is not difficult, but there are many nuances. This article describes the rules of growing seeds and cuttings, given recommendations to combat pests and are described all possible problems that may occur at a novice flower.

Before considering the care at home behind the Flower of Mirta, you need to get acquainted with the technology of its reproduction. It is necessary to grow a tree on a special mixture of humus and sand taken in equal amounts.

You can add perlite (there will be 10% of the entire mass). This is an earthen mix that is sold in any flower shop. It is needed in order to regulate the soil moisture. Perlite absorbs an extra moisture in excess, and in the dry medium gives it.

Seeds

The cultivation of mygo from seeds at home is better to spend in the summer-spring period. It should be sowing in a 10 cm tank length. They are not deeply planted, you just need to sprinkle them with a layer of 5 mm. After that, the potted seeds are covered with glass and leave to germinate at a temperature of about 20 degrees.

Tip!When buying seeds should pay attention to the production time. If they were kept for more than a year, their germination decreases half.

The first shoots usually appear in 7-14 days. After that, it is necessary to wait for the first leaves and immediately sear the Mirt on different pots. If you do it in the summer, the plant should be protected from overheating in the sun, it is best to put it in the shadow. A month later, you can make feed, for this any fertilizers containing nitrogen are suitable. He takes part in the formation of the Hrolofilla substance, which protects plants from the effects of sunlight. Dosage and method of use in each fertilizer is different, it is indicated on the labels. It will save myrtle from drying, because it is more difficult to reanimate the flower than ensuring proper care.

Cherenci

Cuttings allow you to clearly stick to a certain variety. They are desirable to take with healthy plants that have active growth and development. It is best that the donor was for more than a year, and he managed to warm at least partially.

It is necessary to plant for 1-2 cm deep into the depth, in the warm room at a temperature of about 25 degrees. Any growth stimulants are suitable, which is sold in stores in large quantities. A few weeks later, the cuttings are rooted.

Rules of watering and care

– indoor plant, growing and care for it takes not much time. Place the pot with a tree is better near the window, for flowering the plant must be occupied periodically in the sun.

In the summer, the peace should be watering often, the frequency should be such that the soil does not drive. In winter, you can less often, on the same principle. As soon as the Earth begins to dry, you need to pour. Excess water accumulated in the pan must immediately pour.

Tip! It is impossible to allow the abrasiveness of moisture in the pallet so that the roots do not occur.

Summer temperature is suitable for a flower. He calmly transfers to 18 degrees of heat indoors. In winter, it is not easy to ensure the necessary temperature at home, it should be around 10 degrees. If the plant is located in a warm room, it will reset the foliage until the appropriate mode is established.

Crown Circumcision

Care at home for mygt room suggests and adjusting its shape. In the natural state of Crohn, it looks like a pyramid, but you can give her a pomp. It is best to do this after the plant will flash.

Important! Immediately after transplanting, it is impossible to perform trimming, because the flower needs time to adapt in the new soil.

Methods Trimming:

• you can cut the top of the plant, which will lead to a small bush;
• if you work with shoots that are located below, the result is a tree in bonsai-style (Japanese style, which is small copies of trees).

The sprigs on the sides of the Mirta are not worth cut. This is due to the fact that the main stem is not quite dense.

The pruning of myrtle perceives perfectly, which allows you to implement any fantasy at home. The only problem is a slow flower growth, your crown design will have to expect at least two years.

Transfer

Newly minted flower flowes are often interested in the question of how to transplant myrtle. It is necessary to do it every year if the plant is young, then you can less often. The lands should be enough to make the moisture in it and did not disappear. If you notice that the Earth becomes dry during the day, the container should be changed. The trunk should be visible, it is impossible to fully immerse in the soil. But do not choose too large tanks for transplant, there is no need.

Possible diseases and problems in growing

With incorrect care, the foliage is possible or its fond. Faced with these problems, you need to know how to reanimate myrtle at home.

Fall and dry leaves

Mirt Sokha, what to do in this case? No need to panic in the dedifications of foliage. This is a completely normal reaction to change temperature mode. Myrtt subtropical plant, so our climate does not always tolerate well. When cooling and reducing the light day, the plant may not have time to bust all the necessary useful elements. However, their consumption is not reduced, which leads to fading and dedifications of foliage.

This reaction occurs during the cold season. Therefore, in the fall and winter should stick the desired temperature - 10 degrees. This will reduce the consumption of useful trace elements, and the leaves will remain in the same form.

Leaves yellow

The yellowing of foliage is a more serious problem, because the prerequisites for this there is a huge amount.

This may happen for the following reasons:

• insufficient amount or abrasiveness of moisture;
• dark room;
• lack of nutrient elements in the soil;
• location near the battery;
• pests.

To stop the yellowing of the leaves, you need to eliminate all possible prerequisites for this. You can try to buy a feeder or increase the existing, which also sometimes helps to restore the Mirt. Growing at home has a little rules, remember which is not difficult. Try to follow the care instructions.

Slow Rost.

Some novice flower trees panic because of the slow growth of the village, but this is a normal state for a flower. At home, the flower is necessary for about two years to finally grow.

Tip! The perfect place for the Mytovo Treet is a half.

If you are confident that slow growth is still present, then the reason for this is a lack of useful trace elements. It is necessary to change the fertilizer for soil in this case or increase the feeding of the midmost tree.

Do not bloom

Mirt may not bloom at home. This happens when the cultivation technology is violated.

• circumcision of the crown in the spring;
• the room is not ventilated;
• dry air;
• no sunlight.

The elimination of all these reasons will help to cope with the problem.

Resets leaves

This may happen when the Mirt is in a dark room or when the temperature is disturbed during the cold season. Try putting a plant closer to the sun.

Love leaves

This problem is also the consequences of improper care of the pool. The presence of the presence of a paouth tick on a flower:

• white web;
• gradual drying of foliage.

The shield can also lead to the death of the plant. It is located throughout the Mytov Trop.

Signs of plants lesion to the plants:

• drying of leaves;
• focusing;
• small brown spots on leaves.

The failure is located at the bottom of the midmost tree. It feeds with a flower juice.

Signs of the presence of TLI on myrtite:

• twisted leaves;
• yellowing and dedication of leaves.

In addition to creating favorable conditions for growing plants, you can still prepare a special solution at home. To do this, you will need 0.5 liters of water, 50 grams of tobacco (loss in powder) and 50 GB of household soap. All ingredients need to be mixed and sprinkle with a mytt tree with a solution three times a day.

You can also use manganese, 1 tbsp. A spoon must be dissolved in a liter of water. Sprinkle the flower with this composition follows 2-3 times a day.

Considered the symbol of peace, youth, love and marriage, has long been revered and grown in various countries. And today there is no flower to see the Mirt in your collection, care at home for which the newcomer can master.

In pot culture, you can most often meet two varieties of this evergreen plants. This is myrtol ordinary, or Myrtus CommunisAnd Myrtus Microphylla Myrtus MiCrophylla. In nature, the variety of species is much wider. Today, botany has about a hundred species of this culture found in subtropical and tropical regions on both sides of the equator.

Evergreen Mirt in pot culture

Special respect for Mirt from ancient times used in the countries of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Respectful attitude has been preserved and today. But if in the regions with the warm climate of Mirt - one of the favorite garden and park plants, then in countries with a temperate climate, shrub or small, up to 2 meters of the village are planted in greenhouses or indoor pots.

The care of the Martit tree at home will not be much labor, and to take care of the plant gratefully responded with blossoms and even fruiting. Mirta flowers resemble Chinese camellia flowers. Thanks to large, sticking stamens, they seem fluffy and perfectly decorated with a house in the first half of summer.

If in the process of the care of the Miro to carry out artificial pollination, the shrub will be covered with blue berries to autumn. Seeds located inside ripe fruits give germs and can be successfully used to breed a room culture.

The culture is valued as a source of essential oil, the aroma of which is easy to feel, swaying in the fingers a couple of small leathery leaves, densely covering shoots.

The cultivation of evergreen Mirta will bring a lot of interesting observations and pleasant moments. But how to care for the pool at home? What content requirements makes this Mediterranean species?

How to care for the pool?

IN room conditions Mirt has shown himself as a rather noncain, gratefully responsible for the care of the plant. With competent care for the peace, regular formation of the crown and the correct selection of space, the pot culture pleases a thick greens, a compact shape and lack of disease.

The plant is light-cup, perfectly belongs to watering and spraying, but the pot with the Mirt is not desirable to be placed in hot stuffy rooms. In the cold season, a green pet is needed cool wintering.

The best place for myrtle is where the plant will be under a bright, but not the scorching sun. If the pot is set on the south window, the bush is useful at midday clock. But on the north side, the plant feels uncomfortable, foliage loses brightness, growth is slowed down, and flowering in conditions of lack of light can hardly wait.

How to care for peace at different times of the year? From spring and up to the middle of autumn, there are no frosts, a pot can be kept on the balcony, loggia or in the garden, only slightly covered by the wind and the sun. Here the plant is watered, and protected from pests, because the risk of their attack outside the room increases significantly. In winter, home care at home is changing, which is caused by a natural cycle of plant development and a change of season.

Seasonal changes in peace care

How to care for the Flower of Mirta with the onset of autumn and winter? At this time, the plants slow down the growth, rests from active vegetation and lays the foundations of future flowering. Optimal temperature The content of Mirta in the winter is 6-10 ° C. Cooling does not contribute to the rapid evaporation of moisture and its consumption by the MirThe himself, so watering is reduced by tracking so that the soil com and roots do not move completely.

The bay of the soil in winter is extremely dangerous due to the risk of losing the entire bush, which in cold wet ground is inevitably rotted roots.

If the plant remains wintering when ordinary room temperatureIt needs a conventional watering and mandatory crown irrigation. Such a measure will help myrtle to cope with the stay in dry room atmosphere. A sign of lack of moisture and discomfort experienced in this case are fading and falling leaves. If you do not take urgent measures and do not establish the care of the pool, the homemade pet until spring will remain without foliage, and in the summer will give up blossoms.

Undercaming, Pruning and Transplanting Room Mirt

Mirlet's indoor clouds are carried out in two weeks and combine with ordinary irrigation. Maintain mineral additives and organic plant should be in spring and summer. In winter, such a measure is no longer needed.

To get a compact, smooth crown, as in the photo, in the care of the pool at home include cropping and segments of shoots.

An evergreen plant has long earned the love of flower water, which is fond of growing bonsai. The melligent form of the plant is ideal for these purposes, allowing for several years of painstaking care to get the most bizarre outlines.

Myrtle easily transfers pruning. But it is best to spend it in the spring, when active growth has not yet begun. IN summer time The cardinal change of the shape of the bush is not carried out, but during this period the tip of a young rigor, forcing the stalks to busy.

Early spring is not only the optimal time for trimming, but also for transplanting the indoor scene of the Mirta.

The root system of this culture is not distinguished by rapid growth, but once every 3-4 years old, an adult plant is still transferred to a potential of greater capacity, and young seedlings are useful to transplant annually. Myrtle feels well in light loose soil of moderate nutrition. For him, the universal mixture is suitable for decorative cultures, and homemade substrate from the turf, peat, sand and humus. With the proper care of the Mirt at home, it grows and pleases the owner over the years, becoming a living symbol of well-being, love and peace.

Every year the popularity of Myrtit is increasing. We bring it to seeds and cuttings. Beginner flower products can choose any of these methods.

Methods of breeding

Cherenci For breeding it is better to harvest in May, August and November. This is due to the wave-like growth of Mirtit. Green cuttings are rooted better than half-hearted. Cutting them with a length of about 10 cm, from the bottom of the leaves from the bottom.

There are two ways to root:

1. I put a cutlery into a vessel with water room temperature to a warm light place (but not under direct sunlight). With a regular change of water, the process will take about a month (perhaps more). As soon as the roots grow up to 3-5 cm, transplant myrtle into the ground.

2. Looking out the cuttings in a loose wet substrate or sand. We definitely cover the film or glass and put in the bright (not solar) place with a temperature of 20-23 ° C. Soil sometimes carry out so as to prevent zaksania.

Plants obtained by stalling bloom for 2-3 years.

Another reproduction option - seeds. If they are fresh, then the germination is quite high, but two-year-old it decreases sharply. Optimal time For landing - Spring (March).

The substrate is prepared from the sod soil, peat and sand (2: 2: 1). Seeds lay out on the surface of a wet soil, slightly sprinkle with the same soil and, styling with glass, put in warm (not lower than 18 ° C) and light, but without direct sunlight place. After about 7-10 days, shoots appear.

In the rustling of two real leaves, seedlings dive. In the future, as it grows, myrtle turns into larger pyro. Plants obtained from seeds bloom only for the 5th year.

Subsequent care

Soil mixture I am preparing from a humus, turf, leaf land and sand in equal parts. Young plants annually in spring replancing In more spacious pots. At the same time I follow not to burst the root neck. Adult plants transplanted every 2-3 years.

During the growth period, Mirt is demanding lightBut does not like direct sunlight. Earth kom must be constantly moistBut not overcooked. And stagnation cold waterAnd the drying of the soil lead to dropping foliage and even the death of the plant. Kronu Mirta Advanced spraying water, especially this is relevant on hot days and winter when the air is dried heating systems. In the summer of Myrtle, you can take a balcony or take to the cottage. During this period, the plant is actively developing.

In winter because of too dry air It often happens that the leaves dry and fall out, the shoots are faded. In this case, the plant must be put in mini-greenhouse, spray the growth stimulant, occasionally and gradually water and ventilate. If the roots are alive, young leaves will appear after some time. The dead shoots can be trimmed in March.

Flower School How to Protect Home Flowers From Sun

Even despite the fact that the light is needed by all plants, in large quantities he can not only damage, but also fully ...

Mirt (Myrtus) belongs to the genus of evergreen shrubs and trees of the Mytrent family. Grows in North Africa, Western Asia, on the islands of the Caribbean Sea, in Florida, in the Azores, in Europe. Mirt in Greek means "balsam".

Mirt - evergreen wooded shrub with straight, abundantly branched stems. The leaves are dark green, leathery and dense, are attached on short stiffs, oblong and pointed to the edge. The leaves of the Mirta possess numerous small glands, which can be seen in the light, it is they distinguish aromatic substances and essential oils. White or pink flowers, fragrant, are located alone or in brushes on thin blooms. Fruits - edible black berries, on which a cup of flower is attached.

Buying myrtle, you need to understand that the plant has a pronounced rest period. This means that it is necessary to care for my peace in summer and in the winter. Because of this feature, Mirt may be located in different places depending on the temperature in the house and season. Most favorable time For the plant is summer. Mirt loves fresh air very much, so the plant can even be picked together with the pot into the ground, for example, in the garden. Before king, you need to think and decide on the place where Mirt will grow.

Mirt is in great demand among flowers lovers. But quite often, during the cultivation of Myrtit, various problems happen. For example, myrtle dumps the leaves. This may occur due to improper content of the Mirta. Something similar can be observed in the cultivation of such famous plantslike either. The care of mygit is quite simple, but still has its own nuances.

Location and lighting

Mirt loves bright scattered light and easily transfers straight sun rays. But it is worth considering that the plant should be dialed against direct sunlight during the hot season. If you want to get flowers from the plant, then you need to consider that myrtle should be in a well-lit place. In summer, Mirt can be taken out on open air.

If Mirt grows in the room on the windowsill, then the most optimal option Western and eastern windows will be. If the Mirt is located in the south, then it can get sunny burns. In the north, the most unfavorable place for flowering: Flowers will be faded and fast will disappear. It can also be noted that the light acts on the Mirt as a signal to awakening.

In winter, it is necessary to give the plant as much light as possible. If Mirt will stand in the south, then the rest period will last only a month if in the north, then all three. If I had to change a permanent place, then you need to do it gradually. After all, there will be another level in another place. Mirt can lose light or on the contrary to get it over, so you need to approach the rearrangement of the tree gently and gradually. A sharp change of place of residence does not like the plant. It is worth starting with the fact that we can gradually put a little further from the window, so it will get used to new content conditions faster.

Temperature

In the summer, room temperature is quite suitable for mygt. In general, the plant loves coolness or moderate temperature. The most favorable air temperature is 18-20 degrees. In winter, the Mirta Tree is better to move to a cool room with a temperature of air 6-8 degrees of heat. Under such conditions, Mirt will be abundantly blooming in the summer. Of course, it is possible to arrange the mirnet wintering and at room temperature, but in this case there will be a rich watering and constant spraying.

With warm and dry air in the winter, the Mirat often falls out of the leaves, although it is not necessary to despair. If you continue to moisten a tree, in the spring it sees again, but the blossom of myrtle, which moved warm wintering, most likely it will not be.

Air humidity

Mirt loves moist air, so needs regular spraying. Usually in winter, with a cool content of myrtle, they do not spray, but in the summer or in the warm season, the plant must be constantly sprayed. This is especially true of autumn and spring when the plant is just in the active phase of growth.

Watering

In the spring-summer period, Mirt is watered regularly and abundantly, as soon as the upper layer of soil dries. In winter, of course, Mirt must be watering less often, but still to allow soil drying cannot be, otherwise the plant will die. Watering the Mirt should be warm and, if possible, soft water. It is important to ensure that the land in the pot never swam. Regardless of the season, there should always be wet soil in the pot. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the water is not stood in a pot.

The soil

The optimal composition of the soil for the cultivation of the Mirut: the hardening, humus, peat ground and sand in equal proportions or clay, stern, peat and humus ground with the addition of sand in the ratio of 1: 1: 1: 0.5.

Feeding and fertilizer

From spring to the autumn Mirt you need to feed every week. Depending on what kind of tree you want, you want to get and choose a feeding for myrtle. If I want the plant to please your bloom, you need to use a fertilizer with a high level of phosphorus. If you like the miniature tree, it is better to use nitrogen fertilizers. In general, conventional liquid complex fertilizers for decorative and deciduous plants can be used.

Transfer

Adult Mirut transplant is best to spend 1 time in 3-4 years, and young plants transplant annually in spring until flowering. When transplanting the Mirta, the root neck of the plant can not be plugged, it can lead to various diseases or to the damage to rot. At the bottom of the pot surely lay out a good layer of drainage. The pot for mygt should not be too big enough to fit root system. For transplantation and transshipment, you need to pick up such a pot, which in volume in two smaller than the volume of the plant crown.

Trimming and pinching

For myrta, pruning is the ability to drastically change the form of the plant and it is best in the spring. If you quit young twigs in time, then you can increase the thickness of the crown, it is possible to quit as needed at any time of the year.

On trimming and pinching of the Mirut, you need to pay special attention and pay more time. After the purchase of myrtit, you should decide what kind of tree you want to see at home. For example, if you do nothing, the pool tree may eventually take a pyramidal form. If you crop the top of the tree, then it will acquire a shrub type. If you cut the sides, in the end it will turn out a lush tree. In any case, how not to crop myrtle, he will still bloom and delight his master. But it is important to remember one thing: if the Mirt often pinch, then the colors will eventually become much smaller than before.

In general, if so sort out, the pool tree is one of the plants that are submitted to their defragmentation. It can always be cropped in different ways and this most gives him a unique look. But no need to overdo it. When the plant is small to consider, the fact that the trunk is still young and can not be able to hold a proudly lush bush. It is only necessary to wait a little bit and the Mirt will strengthen and after three years will manifest itself as a beautiful busta.

One remark in the transplantation of mygo, it is necessary to ensure that the trunk remains on the surface of the earth, and so the entire transplant algorithm is suitable, as well as for other plants living in the rooms at home. Landing immediately in a big pot error. For a tree, which is just three years old, a pot must be a diameter of at least 12 centimeters. Earth for myrtit is bought in the store.

Reproduction of Mirta

Predit Mirt with cuttings and seeds. For beginners, it is recommended to breed a plant with cuttings.

Reproduction of cuttings

The reproduction of cuttings should be carried out no more than two times a year. The first time you need to do in winter (in January-February), and the second time to focus on the spring or middle of the summer (July). Cuttings should be taken from the bottom or middle part of the tree. The length of the cutting should be 5-8 centimeters. To prevent the evaporation of moisture, the leaves can be removed from the cutken, the remaining can be simply shortened. So that the rooting is rapidly, you can use stimulants.

Samoa suitable mixture For rooting serves a mixture of sand with moss. If there is no such, then you can use a conventional leafy land in which major sand. The temperature at which the root procedure will occur should be within 16-20 degrees.

Most best time For rooting - winter. The light at this time does not need a cutlery - on the contrary, you need to take this place. The utensils for rooting should be strictly not deep, after rooting you need to cover with a cutlery with a cap. Sometimes the plant needs to be tired so that it does not get intimate at its early age. Usually the root takes about a month. After that, it can be safely put in a small pot of approximately diameter of 7 centimeters.

In reproduction with cuttings, bloom occurs on 3 or 4 years.

Seeds are uniformly distributed over the surface of the soil and topped with a thin layer of the substrate. Capacity with seeds are covered with film or glass to create greenhouse conditions. Temperature must be maintained within 18-20 degrees. Capacity with seeds must be periodically ventilated. Soil is all the time maintained in a wet state.

Seedlings usually germinate after 1-2 weeks. When the seedlings appear two full-fledged leaves, they can be transplanted into separate small pots. Transplantation is carried out by transshipment. IN further care For young plants the same as he for adults. Change the transplant when the roots fully fill the pot.

With the reproduction of Mirt, the flowering seeds occurs approximately 5 years.

The Mirt may be affected by aphid and a shield, and during dry air and insufficient moisturizing by a bypass tick.

Shield on early stage It is practically not noticeable, but quickly multiplies, covering the stalks and leaves of the plant with dark spots. The shield is removed by a wet tampon, but at the same time it is still necessary to treat the entire plant insecticide or soapy.

The trouble is often settled on the bottom side of the sheet and feeds on the juice of the plant, which leads to drying and folding the leaves. Till insecticidal means is destroyed.

The web tick appears on the underside of the leaves and envelops them with thin white cobwebs. It is destroyed by spraying and kneading leaves, especially on the bottom, water or weak tobacco infusion. Also the Mirt can be treated with ready-made universal insecticides.

Difficulties in growing

• The stalks are pulled out, the leaves are minced and pale is a lack of lighting.
• The leaves dull, yellow, edges twisted - excess lighting.
• Feed leaves - insufficient lighting in winter or warm wintering.

In conclusion, we can say that Mirt - amazing plant. Except for the fact that myrtle blooms, and the flowers perfectly fragrant, he still has medical properties. Even the smallest tree can protect against diseases and viruses in the house. As you know, mytov oil is very appreciated by the people and has many indications for use.

The tincture of the midmost tree gives the energy to man and vigor, the effect is almost like coffee. Myrtit leaves boiled and used to treat gastrointestinal diseases. Even in the cooking of Myrth, I found myself an application. Very often, leaves or even the shoots themselves are used in the manufacture of fish or poultry dishes. If you throw the sprig of the Mirta on the corner, then the kebab will succeed in simply: the fragrance will simply not compare any other. Even bay leaf Not so popular will be in this area.

Several peoples of Myrt are considered almost a cult tree. From it make wreaths and bouquets. A gift from myrta is given to the brides, so the plant was given a name - the "Bride Tree". Another mytov tree is called "family well-being and happiness", which personifies a friendly and strong family.

Rules of growing and care of the Mirt (video)

Flower-lovers manage to grow on their windowsills the most exotic, the birthplace of which are hot tropical countries. Many evergreen trees in pots, pleaseing the eyes of their bright foliage, look very beautifully.

Mirt is a representative of the Mytov family. Its branch for a long time is considered a symbol of peace and silence. The tree obtained its name thanks to the aroma, the resulting leaves containing essential oils. These oils are used to prepare church incense.

Mirt was revered by the ancient Greeks and Jews. The plant is often mentioned in biblical legends. The global branch is a mandatory attribute of the bride's wedding bouquet belonging to the British royal family.

Shrub is distributed in Southern Europe, North Africa, West Asia. It can be found in the Caribbean and in Florida.

Myrtle flowers with small white or pinkish flowers sitting alone. After blowing on shoots, small white or black with blue berries are formed. Each fruit contains up to 15 seeds.

A scientist is known three types of peaceful, including Myrtle Sugar and Mirt ordinary.

The plant prefers bright scattered lighting, so placing it on the windowsill, it is desirable to choose an eastern or west side. But from direct sunlight, the tree should still be protected.

Myrtle grows well in a dringed fertile. For landing, you can buy a finished soil or mixed in equal proportions of turf, sand, peat, humus.

Shrub has a pronounced period of rest, which falls on the winter. These days it is required to be placed in the room with a temperature of air 10-13 ° C and occasionally water, not allowing the drying of the soil coma. Such wintering will provide more lush flowering next summer.

The rest of the time the Mirt requires a more careful care. The land in a pot with a plant should not rehabilitate, but also the stagnation of moisture should not be allowed. With a low humidity of air in the room, the shrub should be periodically sprayed with soft water. In the summer, a tree can be taken out on the street and leave in a container or to stick together with him in a well-lit place protected from drafts.

During the period of vegetative growth, the Mirate is required. If bloom is required from wood, phosphorus and potassium must prevail in fertilizers. For the growth of deciduous mass you need nitrogen. You can use a universal fertilizer for decorative deciduous plants.

Silence reproduction

One of the popular and simple ways Receiving new copies - reproduction of Mirtit with stalling. This method is most effective at the end of summer and spring. In the fall, the chances of rooting sprouts are reduced.

From one of the shoots of an adult tree with a sharp knife, a green or semi-resistive stalk is cut 12-15 cm long, from the bottom of which leaves leaves. Green shoots are rooted faster. The cuttings can be stored in a damp rag during the day, if there is no possibility to immediately implement.

The base of the process is treated with a root formation stimulator and placed in a container with a mixture of perlite and vermiculite.

For a successful rooting of the sprout, it is necessary to create almost absolute humidity. To this end, you can use a glass or plastic container, which is covered from above. The container must have drainage holes to exit excess moisture.

The cutlets are planted on a depth of 3 cm. The substrate at its base is compacted. The container is placed in a warm place. In the hot time of day, it can be tired, removing the upper part for a while.

Within a month subject to required conditions The cutting of the roots. In this case, the plant can be planted in a constant container. At its bottom, the drainage of various sizes is embanked - first large, then smaller. Ceramizite, gravel, broken brick, foam can be used as a drainage material.

From above, the drainage layer is tightly poured - a mixture of biohumus, deciduous soil and perlite. The plant is planted vertically, tightening the base of the trunk. The soil is abundantly moisturized. Surplus water is drained, and the sucking grounds are packed with a new layer. Top distribute a small amount of vermiculite.

Over the first time, running is needed to provide greenhouse conditions, covering it with a glass jar or cut upper plastic bottle With a lid. Periodically, the greenhouse opens for the time that the plant is gradually starting to tempt. A month later, the bottle (bank) can be removed.

Cuttings can be rooted in water. Capacity with escape is put in a privided warm place. For 1.5 months, the root system will develop. After that, the plant can be planted into the container with the soil.

Myrth, obtained from the cuticle, will begin to bloom in 2-3 years.

Reproduction of seeds

Another method of division is the reproduction of the Mirta. This method is more laborious and uses smaller demand for amateur flower.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the seed storage period. If their age is more than a year, the germination is significantly reduced.

To increase the germination, stratification is carried out - artificial creation of a rest period, after which the plant should get out of hibernation. For the implementation of the procedure, a small container and a polyethylene package takes, pour sand or vermiculite and moisturize. Then stirred it with seeds.

Self-collected seeds need to be moved by manganese (1 g of substance on a half-table of water) during the day. The sand used as a soil should be carried out or also shed by manganese or drugs for disinfection purposes.

The mixture of sowing material and substrate is placed in a refrigerator for 2 months at a temperature of from 0 to + 4ºС. Capacity should be periodically ventilated. Some gardeners recommend alternating cooling periods with heating - to keep the seeds in the refrigerator at night, and leave them on the windowsill.

After the specified period, weathered on the cold, the seeds of the MirTa are planted into light soil or peat pills. From above, you need to pour a thin layer of soil with a thickness of 1-2 mm. Myrtit is very light and germinate with good lighting.

The soil moisturizes, a container with crops is covered with glass or film and placed on the windowsill at a temperature of +20 to + 25ºС. Seeds periodically require ventilation. After 1-2 weeks, shoots will appear. After the appearance of the first sprouts, they need to provide additional lighting.

When the seedlings are thrown over 2 of the present sheet, they conduct their pickup. The top pinch, and each sprout is transplanted into a separate container. After 1-1.5 months, seedlings can be planted in constant containers.

Mirt, grown from seed, usually blooms only for the fifth year of life.

Transplant and cropping

Young plants need to transplant every year. This procedure is performed before the flowering period. The container is selected for planting, in size a little more than the previous one. The optimal width of it is 2 times less than the diameter of the crown.

MIRTA transplant is carried out by transshipment. Soil moistened. The plant is neatly taken for the trunk and pull up.

Together with an earthen room, it is installed in a new container. The soil is sucked and slightly compacted.

Adult plants transplant less often - every 3-4 years.
