Kobeya is a perennial tropical liana of the Sinukhov family.
At home (Mexico and Peru), it is represented by 9
views. However, in floriculture, only one species is cultivated –
kobeyu climbing This name she received in honor of her
the discoverer of Barnabas Cobo, a Spanish monk –
naturalist. It is also called the Mexican
ivy
Kobeya is growing rapidly (her whips reach 6 meters in length),
therefore often used for vertical gardening. Large
The flowers of this “tropican” (can grow up to 8 cm in diameter) have
bell-shaped form. Hence the other name of this plant –
�”Monastic bells”.

Planting Kobe seeds (photo)
It is possible to grow this beautiful vine from seeds and method
grafting. Seed method has its own feature – seeds are bad
are coming up. Therefore, proper preparation of seed material is important.
It should start in early March.
Kobei seeds have a hard shell, which creates
certain difficulties in their germination. To remove it,
the seeds are put in a bowl, filled with water at room temperature and
Cover with a lid to reduce evaporation of moisture. When seminal
the shell will begin to limp, it is mechanically removed. Peeled seeds
laid out on gauze soaked in a solution of potassium permanganate and folded
in several layers. They are then placed in a plastic bag.
(it is convenient to use zip-packages for this) and leave them in a warm and
lighted place. Seeds begin to hatch after 2 weeks. AT
during the whole process make sure that the gauze is always wet.
Soaked and cropped Kobe seeds
The sunflower seeds are planted in one flat side.
individual cups. Planting tanks are placed on the warm
window sill and grown at a temperature of + 20 ° C.
To create high humidity they are covered with a film, which
open daily for airing and moistening landings. Sprouts
begin to appear after 2 weeks. If seeds have been sown
without soaking, then the expectation of germination will stretch to
3-4 weeks.
Dive seedlings
Dive seedlings in phase 2 leaflets. New landing capacity
They take much more than the previous ones (about 3 liters). This is needed for
in order for the plants to land in the open ground
formed a powerful root system and began to actively build
deciduous mass.
A dive is performed when the seedling has grown 2 true

Before diving, seedlings are watered abundantly. When transplanting
try to keep the earth com as much as possible so as not to damage
the roots.
Planting Kobei cuttings
ATырастить эту тропическую лиану из черенков проще, чем из seeds.
In the autumn, before the frost, Kobey is dug out and planted in a large bucket.
Green mass is cut at a height of 30-40 cm from the root. Store the plant
in a cool dark room at + 8-10 ° C. until spring.
At the same time, the soil is moistened once a month to prevent the roots from drying out. AT
the end of February and the beginning of March, the kobey is transferred into the house, gradually
increase watering. After the start of active growth can be cut
cuttings.
They are pre-dipped in a stimulant before planting.
rooting (for example, Kornevin) and put in cups with
wet sand or perlite. Rooting cuttings within 2
weeks.
Further care of them is no different from seedlings grown from
seeds.
On a note! Kobeyu can immediately be planted
in large capacity, and not planted in open ground: in the fall is not
have to dig it, and just put it in storage.
Landing Kobei in open ground
Kobeya grows well in open sunny areas with fertile
loose earth (loam and sandy loam). AT тени она отстает в росте и
bloom. This should be considered when choosing a landing site for this
creepers. The acidity of the soil at the same time affects the color
flowers: reddish shade observed at elevated pH
�”Bells”, with an alkaline reaction – dominated by blue tones.
Young Kobe seedlings do not tolerate even minimal frosts.
Therefore, they are planted in a permanent place in early June. If everyone
after disembarking, nightly temperature drops are predicted,
saplings cover 2-3 layers of lutrasil. Landing pits digging on
distance not less than 0.5 m from each other. At the bottom of their stack
drainage from rubble, broken brick or large expanded clay. Planted
plants fall asleep fertile soil (equal portions of peat, humus
and sod land) and watered. Kobeya needs support. Therefore, if
it is planted for landscaping the walls of the building, it must be near
install metal or wooden bars, tighten the ropes,
on which the plant with the help of their antennae will “climb”
up.

On a note! If you pinch the tops
Kobei shoots, the bush will be more lush and compact.
Kobei care
Although Kobeya is a tropical plant, caring for her is not
will work. He will be in watering, dressing, removal
weed and pest and disease control.
Watering
Kobei as a native of the tropics is moisture-loving. Wateringать ее нужно
regularly, especially on hot summer days. But it’s not important
prevent excess moisture, otherwise the probability of development
root rot. Regular watering is carried out after drying the top
soil layer.
Top dressing
As with any plant, Kobe since the appearance of the first leaves
and before the beginning of budding needs nitrogen fertilizers. AT качестве
They can use ammonium nitrate at the rate of 25 g per 1 m2
landings.
When the buds begin to appear, the vine is “transferred” to
potassium phosphate fertilizers. They stimulate enhanced budding,
give a more intense color to flowers, prolong flowering. On 1
m2 contribute 30-40 g of superphosphate and potassium salt, dissolved in
10 liters of water. You can also make the usual wood ash (250-500g / m2)
in dry form or as an aqueous solution.
Feeding is carried out every 2 weeks, alternating mineral and
organic (mullein infusion 1:10) fertilizers.
Kobei pest and disease control
One of the worst pests Kobe has a reputation for spider mites.
Colonies of these sucking insects live on the underside of the leaves.
They multiply quickly (several are born in one season
generations). You can notice ticks on yellowish points (places
punctures) on leaf plates. With a large accumulation of pests
characterized by the appearance of a thin web between the leaves. AT результате
activity of spider mites, the plant is oppressed, the leaves turn yellow
and fall off. Fighting this pest should begin immediately after
detection. For this plant is sprayed with acaricides.
(Актеллик, Санмайт, Фуфанон).
Kobe and aphids, which prefers young
shoots, leaves, from which it sucks the juice. Damaged
leaves deform, turn yellow and fall prematurely.
Против тли применяют инсектициды ( Актара, Конфидор,
Фитоверм).
With improper care (in particular with excessive watering) Kobe
prone to root rot. ATнешне это проявляется черными
necrotic spots on the leaves and flowers. If the defeat is not
strong, then you can try to cure the plant. For this you need
dry the soil, poryhliv it. After that, the ground under the bush
проливают раствором фунгицида (Фундазол, Топаз, раствор
медного купороса).
