Phlox fledglings - we grow on a summer residence

The second name "sitch" was given to phlox, most likely because by the number of colors they resemble this fabric. Do on your site a bright flower garden, using this advantage of plants.

Floks paniculate is characterized by a lush blossom from June to October. They come in a variety of colors and shades: pure white, carmine, lilac, pink, blue and raspberry.

An additional decorative effect to these colors is attached to various edges, eyes, specks and strokes. Inflorescences in shape can be conical, spherical, pyramidal and umbellate. On one of them can be from 20 to 100 flowers.

PREPARATION OF A PLOT FOR GROWING AND PLANTING OF FLOXES

It is best to plant phlox in well-lit areas. Then the plants grow strong and brightly bloom. However, they should be shaded in the hottest time of the day, especially dark varieties that are prone to burnout. But in the constant half-shade phloxes are slightly stretched, late with flowering and their color becomes somewhat paler.

The soil for phlox should be nutritious, well-fertilized, friable and moist. It suited sandy loamy or loamy soil, slightly acidic or close to neutral (pH 5,5-7). The development and flowering of plants is well effected by the introduction of decomposed horse or cow manure, composts, sheet humus, ashes in combination with mineral fertilizers and organomineral mixtures.

The root system of paniculate phlox is powerful and penetrates to 25-30 cm, so the depth of the prepared soil layer should be at least the bayonet bayonet. On heavy clayey soils, coarse-grained river sand, compost, low-lying peat and well-dispersed manure are added. Sandy loam soils are made more moisture-consuming and nutritious by applying clay, turf, compost or manure.

Feed phloxes with any complex mineral fertilizers containing nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, or a mixture of ammonium nitrate (25 g / m2), double superphosphate (35-50 g / m2) and potassium sulfate (15 g / m2). When applying organic substances together with mineral doses of the latter should be reduced. It is important to remember that an increase in fertilizer rates higher than recommended leads to depression and even plant death.

THE RIGHT PLANTING OF FLOXES

Phloxes prepared for autumn planting should have 2-3 thick stems, large buds renewed at the base and developed, healthy root system shortened to 10-15 cm. The best planting material is plants obtained from cuttings of the second year of cultivation.

The planting itself is not much different from planting traditional perennial plants. In the excavated hole freely locate the roots, straightening them so. that they were sent in different directions and a little down. It is recommended to powder them with "Korn-wine". fill it with soil and press it gently with your hands. Renewal buds are buried on 4-5, see.

Low-growing and border varieties of phlox are planted at a distance of 35-40 cm. For medium-sized varieties (70-90 cm high), the distance between plants should be 50-55 cm, and for tall (100-150 cm high) - 60-70 cm.

WHEN LEADING FLOXES

You can plant phlox in spring, summer and autumn. Each term of planting has its positive and negative sides and depends on many circumstances. The best time for spring planting is the second half of April, for autumn - the second half of September - the beginning of October, so that the plants have time to take root before the onset of frost.

If you plant phlox in the fall, they develop more actively next spring and blossom in time in the summer. Plants plant with leaves, cutting only the upper part of the stem. When spring planting, they take root well, but their flowering is delayed by 10-15 days. Planted plants must be watered abundantly and then moistened every two weeks for 3-4 days.

Thanks to the summer planting of flowering plants, you can be sure of their grades. After planting, it is necessary to cut out inflorescences, plant plants and, in case of hot and dry weather, water and spray them in the morning and evening. For better survival, it is desirable to use preparations "Epin", "Kornevin", guided by the instructions for their use.

FLOX - CARE SECRETS

Weeding, watering, cultivating and top dressing are the main stages of phlox care. To achieve magnificent flowering, it is necessary to properly feed the plants, taking into account the phases of their development. In spring, during a period of intensive growth, phlox needs nitrogen, and during the formation of buds and flowering itself - potassium and phosphorus.

But during the ripening of seeds and the accumulation of nutrients for wintering, plants are particularly in need of phosphorus.

In total, three top dressings are performed. The first - in early spring, after the snow melts, with any complex mineral fertilizer (for example, Kemira) - 50 g / m2. The second top dressing is carried out at the beginning of budding, and the third - after flowering with the same fertilizers as the first. Phlox should be fertilized after rain or heavy watering in the evening. Extra root top dressing with microelements is very useful. For this, it is better to use ready-made preparations "Uniflor Micro" or "Citovit." In the absence of the proposed drugs, you can use an infusion of ash.

Phloxes - very hygrophilous plants, so watering should be regular and abundant, so that water penetrates to the roots. At the end of October, the stems must be cut off from the ground and burned. To protect plants from freezing, they are mulched with peat or compost with a layer of 5-10,

METHODS OF REPRODUCTION OF FLOXES

Near the phlox of the panicle, almost any part can form a new, young plant. However, most often for breeding use the method of dividing rhizomes. Plants divide when they have grown well. You just need to dig up the phlox, shake off the ground a little and use your hands, knife or shovel to divide the rhizome into parts. If there is a need for a small delenka, it is not necessary to dig out the entire bush. It is enough to cut off and separate a small part of the plant with a shovel, and add nutrient soil to the formed pit.

Also, phloxes can be easily propagated by cuttings taken from various parts: spring shoots, stems, axillary lateral shoots, leaf cuttings and root cuttings (thick pieces of roots).
