Dolphinium flower - features

Dolphinium Growing - Difficult, it requires knowledge and labor. First, the landing site should be necessarily sunny in the first half of the day and closed from a strong wind, as well as on the site where water is not stored, otherwise the dolphinium just rotates. After landing mulching peat or humus. In one place, dolphiniums grow no more than 5-6 years, and Pacific species, less durable, not more than 3-4, then the bushes should be divided and disassemble.

Dolphiniums require repeated garters so that their hollow stems are not broken by the wind. In addition, the dolphinium is sometimes affected by the torment and some kinds of pests. But if you are ready to fulfill all the whims of Dolphinium, he will reward you with a magnificent long blossom in June and another, shorter, but not less beautiful, in August or September.

Growing Dolphinium from Seeds

Sowing Dolphinium

Rail a long-term dolphinium from seeds - the occupation is not only profitable compared to the purchase of planting material, but also fascinating. The dolphinium is multiplied not only by seeds, but also by the division of rhizomes, kidneys and cuttings, but in this section we will tell how to grow a dolphinium from seeds. Dolphinium sowing is carried out at the end of February.

Remember: When storing seeds in a dry warm place, the germination is lost. Fresh seeds need to be sown immediately or keep them until the desired time in the refrigerator.

Before sowing it is necessary to deal with seed disinfection: Having placed them in a gauze bag, omit for twenty minutes into a solution of mangalling of thick-pink color. Instead of manganese, you can use a fungicide, prepare a solution according to the instructions. Then, without removing the seeds from the bag, rinse the seeds thoroughly cold water And for a day, soak in a solution of epine (a pair of drops per 100 ml of water). After that, dry the seeds so as not to stick.

Prepare the soil for seeds: Take the rovel peat, garden land and humoring (compost), add half the rolled sand, seek. In order to increase the moisture intensity and the ferility of the soil, add perlite to it at the calculation of the half-table per 5 liters of the soil mixture. Now warm the mixture for an hour on a water bath to destroy the seeds of weeds and the disputes of mushrooms. Fill containers for planting seeds with a mixture and slightly seal it.

Landing Dolphinium: Distribute seeds on the surface of the soil, immediately fixing the labels with the name of the variety and the dates of the sowing. From above, suck the seeds by the soil mixture with a layer of 3 mm so that the seeds are not surfaced at the first irrigation, and slightly compact the top layer. Carefully pour or spray the surface with cold boiled water. Cover the capacitance with a transparent lid, and then with a black film or underfloor material, as the dolphinium seeds are better at the dark, and place the container on the windowsill closer to the glass.

The optimal temperature for germination of seeds is + 10-15 ºC.

To enhance germination, after 3-4 days, place the container in the refrigerator or on the glazed balcony and do not be afraid if the night temperature is lowered to -5 ºC. After two weeks, place the container with seeds on the windowsill. After this procedure (stratification), shoots should appear in a week or two, and try not to miss this moment to immediately remove the film. Do not forget to ensure that the land does not drive, spray it from time to time and ventilate the container to get rid of condensate.

Healthy sprouts are dark green, strong, their seedlies are characterized by pointed. When the plants appear in 2-3 sheets, it is possible to dive plants in a pot capacity of 200-300 ml, followed by the essentialness of them at a temperature not higher than 20 ºC. The soil must be loose, breathable, watering - very moderate so that the "black leg" does not appear, which will lead to the death of seedlings. From the beginning of May, gradually teach the seedlings to fresh air, without removing from the windowsill during ventilation. Let us be on the bright sun for a while.

Dolphinium seedlings are fed Before disembarking in an open ground 1-2 times with a break in 2 weeks, agricolus or soluble in such a way that the solution does not fall on the leaves. Those who had aged seedlings can be planted in an open soil when the land in a pot is already all braided with roots - seedlings are easily removed along with a room without damage to the root system.

Landing Dolphinium

In the open soil, the dolphinium seedlings are planted when the threat of frosts is passed. The place, as already mentioned, should be solar to lunch and without moisture. How to plant a dolphinium? For planting it is necessary at a distance of 60-70 cm from each other to dig a pits with a diameter of 40 cm and a depth of 50 cm, pour into each of them by half a hockey (compost), two tablespoons of complex fertilizer and a glass of ash, mix with the ground so that fertilizers are not They hit the root of the plant, then make a deepening, put a sighter into it, the land around it is sealing and pouring a bed. At first, it is better to cover with a plastic bottle or glass jar, while the plants are not rooted as it should, but as soon as the dolphiniums go into growth, the shelter needs to be removed.

Dolphinium care

When shoots grow to 10-15 cm, their feed A solution of cow manure in proportion of 1 bucket of manure to 10 buckets of water - on 5 large bushes. The garden after removing weeds and soil loosenings should be closed with a three-axis layer of humus or peat. TO thinning bushes Start when the stems become 20-30 cm high: Leave in a bush you need 3-5 stems, which will allow you to get larger and more beautiful inflorescences. Remove the weakest shoots of the inner part of the bush, lazy or cut them from the earth itself. This will protect the plant from disease and will circulate air.

Cutted cuttings, if they are not yet hollow and cut with a heel (part of the root), can be rooted.

Scroll is treated with a mixture of charcoal and a pushed heteroacexin tablet, pushed in a mixture of sand with peat and placed under the film. After 3-6 weeks, the stalks starts the roots, and in two weeks it is planted in an open ground - this is the answer to the question, how to grow a dolphinium in a vegetative way, in this case - stalling.

When the plants reach 40-50 cm in height, near each bush, trying not to damage the roots, there are three supporting rods (rails) with a height of up to 180 cm, to which take the Dolphinium stems Ribbons or strips of fabric so that with strong wind they are not crashed into the stems and did not parse them. The following leakage is made at a height of 100-120 cm.

During the growing season, each dolphinium "drinks" to 60 liters of water. How to grow a dolphinium in a dry summer? It takes every week to pour 2-3 buckets of water under each bush. When after glaze The earth will dry up, it is necessary to break it down to a depth of 3-5 cm. Especially the dolphiniums need watering during the formation of inflorescences, and if the heat comes at this time, then the "gaps of the brush" will appear in the inflorescences, that is, sections without flowers. To avoid this, we need abundant watering and podkord Potash-phosphoric fertilizers at the rate of 20 g fertilizers on the water bucket - one liter of the solution under each bush.

In the second half of summer, mildewing dew can appear on plants - a fungal disease that covers the leaves with a white bloom, which then becomes brown. If it does not take action on time, the entire above-ground part of the plant will die. At the first signs you need to double the dolphiniums with a solution of the preparation of topaz or foundazole. Sometimes on the leaves of the dolphinium appear black spots, sprinkled from the bottom of the plant to the top. it black spottyfrom which you can only fight on early stage, twice spraying the leaves with a solution of tetracycline in proportion of 1 tablet per 1 liter of water.

Amazes Dolphiniums I. ring spottedness, Coloring leaves with yellow spots. This virus disease is impossible to cure it, and the affected plants will have to be removed. But with a carrier of the virus, aphid, it is necessary to fight: spray plants with a carbofosoma or accomplish for prophylaxis. From pests a plant is terrible a dolphinium fly, laid eggs in buds and slugs. With fly struggling insecticides, and slugs scares the smell of chlorine lime, which can be placed in the jars between the Dolphinium bushes.

After flowering inflorescences cut off, collect seeds, but new shoots appear, and the autumn dolphiniums bloom again. At the end of the summer or early autumn, between the first and second bloom, you can make a division of three or four-year dolphinium bushes. The bush needs to dig, carefully divided or cut the knife so as not to damage the kidney of the resumption, sprinkle the cuts wood ash and sear separated parts. This is another method of vegetative reproduction of the dolphinium.

Dolphinium after flowering

When leaves are dried after flowering, the dolphinium stems are cut at an altitude of 30-40 cm from the ground and for reliability the top of the tube (hollow stem) is shrinking the clay. Do this in order for the autumn rains and melting water to be accepted through the cavity to the root neck and did not contribute to the death of the plant from getting the root. Almost all Dolphiniums frost resistantlike adult plants and seedlings. If the winter is cold and mad, beds with dolphiniums need to be litter or straw. Only frequent and sharp temperature differences can destroy the plants, because they lead to an excess of moisture, from which rhizomes can be contrary. The best way It is avoided - to fall asleep when landing on the bottom of the Poam Polesa Pesk, so that the extra moisture could go deep into it.

You may immediately seem to deal with this plant, especially growing a dolphinium from seeds - too troublesome things, but if you don't beat trouble and spend some time and effort, the results will exceed your expectations.

Some varieties are dense flowers. there is dwarf varieties, such as Dwarf Hyacinth-Flowered, up to 30 cm high with terry flowers of purple, pink, raspberry and white colors. Flower Dolphiniums Ajax since June to the most frosts.

Dolphinium hybrid

Growing a long-term dolphinium In culture began in the XIX century: breeders based on the first perennials Delphinium Elatum (Dolphinium High) and Delphinium Grandiflora (Large-flowered Dolphinium) The first hybrids were obtained by crossing (Delphinium Barlowii - Dolphinium Barlow, Delphinium Formosum - Dolphinium Lovely and Delphinium Belladonna - Dolphinium Belladonna), and then French Victor Lemoan brought the terry forms of perennials of purple, blue and lavender, which were named Delphinium Ornatum (beautiful) or "Hybrid" (Delphinium Hybridum), and then renamed "Cultorum" (Delphinium Cultorum). Today, the dolphiniums are perennial in their color palette up to 800 shades! Among them there are tall, medium height and low-spirited varieties with simple, semi-grade, terry and supermarket flowers in size from 2 cm to 9 cm in diameter.

Hybrid perennials are divided into groups at the place of origin. Most of the most popular Scottish (F1 hybrids), new Zealand Dolphiniums (New Millennium Delphiniums, or New Zealand Hybrids) and martinian hybridswho called in honor of the state farm Marfino. Each group has their differences and dignity. Martinsky, for example, have excellent frost resistance and high decorativeness, they have large seminal flowers with bright contrast eyes (blue lace, morphor, spring snow, pink sunset). But to grow the Marfinian long-term dolphinium from seeds is problematic because the seeds do not preserve the varietal signs.

New Zealand Group, Created not so long ago, differs in high height (up to 2.2 m), large semi-grade or terry flowers (7-9 cm in diameter), in some types of corrugated petals. These frost-resistant hybrids are resistant to diseases, durable, perfectly cost in cutting and that is why are today the most popular. Growing New Zealand Dolphiniums is a grateful and profitable occupation if you earn the sale of colors. Popular varieties: Sunny Skies, Green TWIST, Pagan Purples, Blue Lace, Sweethearts.

One of the bright representatives of tall perennials is a spectacular flowering dolphinium. It attracts attention to its unusual shape and rare shades of flowers: pink, blue, gentle white. Growing from seed will require experience and knowledge. In general, the requirements for the care of the dolphinium are the same as for other subtropical colors. You can sow it in the open soil in the fall, but most gardeners recommend planting seedlings at the end of winter, at home to inspire flowers from unstable snow cover and protracted spring.

Short description

Dolphinium from the Lutikov family is different called sprack. There are both annual and perennial species. Flowers like a plant for very beautiful flowering and increased stamina. The dolphinium grows perfectly even in the darkened places, silent frosts in painlessly. However, the cultivation of this culture is laborious, so to meet it in the gardens, it is infrequent in the flower beds.

Important! Dolphinium is herbate plantwhich, all parts are poisonous. Finding into the human body, toxin oppresses the central nervous system, disrupts the work of the cardiovascular system and the gastrointestinal tract. All the care activities of this exotic flower are recommended to be produced in special protective gloves!

Where better to acquire seed material

Only experienced gardeners And breeders can properly store seeds of exotic plants. It should be known that it is impossible to keep them at room temperature because they lose their viability. The best landing material is placed in the refrigerator or special chambers in which the temperature does not exceed the zero of degrees.

Dolphinium seeds sold in stores or in markets, in most cases (60-80%) do not give germs. And the fault here is not a gardener who landed them in the wrong substrate or applied the wrong fertilizer - the case in the seeds themselves. In non-specialized outlets Sellers do not adhere to the technology of storage of exotic colors. Putting the seeds on paper sachets, they simply put them in a warm place. As a result, there are no applications, the money spent disappear.

There will be a good option if the Dolphinium seeds acquire people who are engaged in their breeding. Cut brown boxes are necessary with healthy and fairly developed bushes. A pronounced dark-brown color indicates the maturity of the planting material. You can break the boxes that brought brown spots began to manifest itself, but then they need to be put into the cool room and to withstand to the complete change of the shade.

From the ripe boxes, the seeds must be carefully pouring onto a sheet of paper, dry and put in a glass container. Bank must be put in the refrigerator or freezing Camera Or take on the veranda / balcony. Thus, seeds can be stored for 15 years. Then it will be necessary to "wake up" the dolphinium, i.e. Conduct stratification.

When to plant on seedlings

You can sow these exotic flowers:

in the fall, as soon as floral seeds are collected;
under the winter - on the open area (after the freezing of the soil);
if the dolphinium is grown from seeds to seedlings at home, then it is better to plant it in the second half of February.

Preparation of materials

In order to grow seedlings, seeds and soil of a certain composition will be required. Also, growth stimulants will not be prevented, which will make the stratification process more successful.

Stratification

So that the plants have grown well developed, luxurious colors, it is recommended to properly prepare seeds. For this:

Prepare a disinfectant solution from potassium permanganate or fungicide ("phytosporin", "Maxim"), diluted with water according to instructions in the instructions.
Lay seeds into a tissue bag and immerse it in a working solution for 20 minutes.
Remove, wash the remnants of the disinfecting fluid under running water.
Put on a small plate and soak in estimated water. The fluid should not be too much, it is necessary to add 2-3 drops of the growth stimulator ("zircon", "epin").
Through one day, lay the liquid, and put the sowing material on a wet cloth with a thin layer.
Roll fabric into a roll and place in a plastic container.
Put the tank in the refrigerator and periodically add to it 10-20 ml of water. It should cover only the bottom of the tissue roll. With excessive amounts of fluid, the seeds will be installed.
An alternative to water is a wet moss, which are shifted by fabric rolls with seeds, after which the material is placed in the refrigerator.
Stratification lasts a week, and when the embryos are proceeding, move the workpiece on the windowsill and hold a couple of days under the phytolampa.
Skip the grooved dolphinium on the open area or in the container filled with fertile soil.

The described method is suitable for planting seedlings in February and is designed for cultivation at home.

Another way to prepare seeds:

Soak the sowing material in early spring and wrap in gauze.
Lay in a plastic bag.
Scroll into the ground.
After 1-2 weeks, get and land in the ground.

The best time for such a way - April, when the snow began to melting. Temperature can vary from -5-10 to + 3-6 ° C.

Priming

Landing a long-term dolphinium requires preliminary soil preparation. It is necessary to take garden land and mix with peat and humus in equal proportions. It is recommended to add a small amount of perlite to the mixture (0.5 glasses per 5 liters of earth) to make the structure of the soil more loose. It will also allow to keep moisture in the soil.

Pre-preparation of the soil includes not only the creation of a fertile substrate, but also its steaming to disinfect. The procedure is carried out with a steam bath for one hour. Such a soil will be completely safe for sowing material.

Sowing

Spread uniformly divinely seeds on the prepared ground. Surrounded flowers need to be sprinkled with fertile soil, the layer height should not exceed 3 mm. After that, slightly compact the soil so that when watering the seeds did not raise water. In conclusion, it is necessary to evenly spray the dolphinium warm water From the pulverizer.

Tip! In the case of planting granular seeds, use tweezers for convenience. And in the future, do not forget where which variety has been sorted, it is recommended to stick labels with the names of colors to containers.

Considering that the exotic giant is better growing in the dark, then crops are desirable to cover with the help of a special covering material, a black film or a conventional polyethylene package. It is allowed and simply place containers into darkness until the first searches appear.

In order for the seeds well sprout, it is not necessary to maintain a high temperature in the room, it is quite enough + 10 ° C. It is not necessary to increase the temperature to +20: the probability of destroying future shoots. Flowers are recommended to harden to increase their level of endurance to negative factors. ambient. The procedure involves an alternation of temperature regime - cold / heat.

Expect sewwits after landing follows 7-10 days. As soon as they appear, you will need to remove the conditioned material. After the advent of real leaves, the dolphinium must be divened.

Features of dolphinium dolphinium

You can use the same substrate for the settlement of sprouts as when landing, but it is desirable to add 1 spoon of complex mineral fertilizer to it.

Piking process:

Mixing fertile soil with fertilizer, spread it on a little capacitors, pots.
Moisten the Earth and make a deepening in the center.
Gently separate with a small spatula seedlings from a seaside container.
Move them into prepared containers.
Put the roots of the plants with fertile soil to the root neck.
Watering Carefully, so that young roots are not taken off. If necessary, you need to sprinkle their land.

After the plants are slightly fixed, they need to handle outdoors. Two weeks of such events, flowers are ready for a transplant to an open area.

Dolphinium - unusual flower From the Lutikov family, which is a favorite of gardeners. This plant is often referred to as sprouting or bias. Making a mixture, various dolphinium varieties planted together with large groups. Due to the high shoots (up to two meters), the spur will become an excellent background for low colors: carnations, daisies, phloxes.

Types of bellyness

This herbaceous plant has more than 400 varieties. There are perennial and annual types of delphinium.

Perennial grades of springs are distinguished by the fact that there is no need to plant seeds every year. Putting a plant once, you can enjoy his beauty for five to seven years.

The pyramidal dolphinium was brought from Himalayas, where he grows on the rocky shores of the stream. Therefore, this species easily transfers freezing. Lilac shade patterns are composed of pyramid shape, hence the name of the variety.

IMPORTANT! Further Dolphinium Seeds from Bright sunlight. Box with a soil should be put in the shaded place.

By shifting. When choosing this method, the shoots are cut for further reproduction. When separating the cutting, it is important to separate the root particle. The shoots are planted on the shaded plot, they are abundantly moisturized, and after the appearance of the rhizomes (after 20 days), the dolphinium plant is planted in an open ground.

The method of dividing the bush can be used when working with the abdomen, which is more than three years. The plant digs out of the soil and gently divided into two or three escapes, while each of them should remain root.

Cutting sections are sprinkled with activated carbon in order to avoid infection. The shoots are first sitting in the pots, and after adaptation is transferred to a permanent place.

Split dolphiniums in vegetative and seed. Vegetative method is used in the reproduction of particularly valuable varieties. The most appropriate for the dolphinium is seed reproduction. However, it should be borne in mind that with a close joint landing of two or more varieties, the purity of the grade is not preserved - seeds gives a wide variety of hybrid plants. But under the conditions of isolation at 100-150 m, the progestion is quite clean.

In the second half of summer, after the first bloom, watering should be carried out only under the root, so as not to cause root rotting. Careless irrigation leads to the penetration of water inside the rhizomes through the pile of the hollow cut stem. Therefore, experienced flowers advise after flowering plants to cut only the top of the stalks with yellow leaves.
