Daylily – growing and care

Daylilies – plants, very unpretentious in the care. But still,
it’s better to choose nutrient-rich plantations for them
humus soils. Heavy clay soils will contribute

plants will not be sufficiently supplied with water and
nutrients.

Abundantly and continuously daylilies can only bloom at
plenty of sunshine. When it is cloudy, they are generally generally
do not open, and if summer is cold, then flowers
grow smaller, and the plant may stop flowering.

These plants are tough thanks to their powerful
a root system that allows water to come from a great depth,
therefore, they do not like frequent irrigation, especially surface watering.
the time which water drops falling on the flowers can damage them
petals. Watering daylilies should only be a long drought,
and it should be done at the root.

In the spring, during the beginning of the growing season, daylilies
fed with full complex mineral fertilizer. Him
should be scattered between the bushes, and then water the plant to
ensure fast and high-quality assimilation of fertilizers. In a month
after flowering, at the onset of a short period of rest of the plant
before the start of the new growth and budding of the next year, its
should feed again. This feeding will increase
daylily size and get the maximum number of flowers in the next
season.

During flowering, regularly pluck withered flowers,
so that the plant does not waste their resources on them. After
the end of flowering is necessary to cut off the flower shoots, and before
wintering – the entire aboveground part. Daylilies react very positively
on soil mulching between bushes, wood chips, crushed
bark or dry peat (but not fresh sawdust).

winter cold.

The distance between daylilies during planting should be from 60
up to 100 cm, as they, growing up, expand greatly, and when
close accommodations will not have room for free
accommodation in the flower garden.

If there are good garden soils at the site, then just
a hole dug 30 cm deep, where a mix is ​​poured by a mound,
which includes humus, sand and peat with an additive
potassium phosphate fertilizer, ash and superphosphate. On poor or
heavy soil planting pit is filled with a nutrient mixture. Then
bush intended for planting, you need to shake off the ground and
wash with water to examine the roots for their condition, availability
diseases and pests. By cutting old, dry,
damaged roots, their cuts sprinkled with ashes, and lower the plant
into the hole, gently spreading the roots on the surface of the hill.
Pouring on top of the nutrient mixture, the plant is watered abundantly and
properly compressed roots. Root neck when planting need 2 cm
grind dry humus or peat.

Daylilies are propagated in a vegetative way with seeds. With
vegetative propagation using young bushes, whose age
no more than 5-6 years. They should be carefully separated by hand or knife
taking care not to damage the fragile roots and rosettes of leaves at the base.
It is best to engage in the division of the bush in the spring, so how if
this later, the daylily this year may not bloom.

Seeds that quickly lose their germination are best sown.
freshly collected under the winter to a depth of 2 cm. However, they can
sow and spring of next year. Plants that are grown
from seeds, usually bloom for 2-3 years.

The most dangerous of daylily diseases is root rot.
cervix which can lead to the death of the plant. Withчиной ее

can be on the yellow color of young foliage and its softness. With
detecting signs of damage to rot root collar plant
excavated and, cutting out damaged tissue with a sharp knife, washed
cuts with potassium permanganate solution. After этого, просушив лилейник на
air, it is planted in another place.

Daylily can be affected by such a dangerous pest, like a mosquito
daylilies, the larvae of which gnaw the flower buds. Because of this
their deformation occurs, the plant loses its decorative effect.
Usually, damaged buds are simply gently removed.

they deliver a little, and even a novice gardener without difficulty
will hold all the necessary activities that will help support
