Growing Aubriets
Reproduction and planting obriety
Aubriet is propagated by seeds, cuttings and division
rhizomes.
Seed propagation obriyeta
Easily propagated by seeds that are sown in early spring on
permanent place. In the southern regions can be sown under the winter.
Such plants bloom in the second year.
Seeds are small, so they are simply sown in prepared
the ground, not sprinkling or mulching with a thin layer of sand. Can
cover with a film for a couple of weeks.
Sowing is carried out in the fall or spring.
To get a flowering shave in the year of sowing, it is grown
through seedlings.
Planting seeds, seedlings.
• Sow seeds in early February in shallow containers on
substrate surface.
• Top mulch sand.
• Plates with crops cover with a film or transparent
lids.
• Emerged seedlings periodically air and monitor to
the sand was constantly wet, avoiding overwetting.
• Small plants are kept on a sunny window.
• When pulling out seedlings, gently sprinkle it into the bowl
sand.
• After two true leaves grow back, the seedlings swoop.
• If in the future they become crowded, you can once again
Seated at the age of eight leaves. Next transplant will be already
in open ground.

Planting shaver cuttings
Cropped after flowering twigs are used for grafting.
They are first planted in a shady greenhouse or light box.
soil, moderately moistening the substrate. Top drawer covered with glass
or film. Periodically air, removing condensate.
Substrate rooting options:
• sandy land with admixture of peat;
• a mixture of sand and peat in equal quantities.
For permanent place rooted cuttings are determined at the end
August Between plants maintain a distance of about fifteen
centimeters. Before the onset of cold weather, they have time to settle down and
prepare for winter. Rare and especially valuable specimens are better.
leave in a greenhouse until spring comes.
To guarantee the safety of plants recommend their cuttings
Every year. This is due to the fact that with age obriety become
capricious and less resistant to frost. Young copies
more resistant and beautifully hibernate.
Bushes division
This method is used in exceptional cases, since
the division procedure is very painful for obriety.
A landing place
Обриета — неприхотливое plant. However, on well lit
plots and with regular watering flowering much more abundant. AT
the shadows bloom weakly, shoots are stretched and thinned.
Therefore, for obriyeta choose a sunny place. Excessive moisture
harms the plant (you can provoke excessive growth of foliage and
sparse flowering), so watered only in drought.
The soil
Preferably light, sandy, lime-containing earth. Plant
undemanding to the quality of the substrate, grows well in a small
amount of soil.
Planting obriety in the cleft between the stones
It prefers loose, air-permeable soils, but not very
fertile, does not grow on acidic clay soils.
He likes mulching with sand by about 2–3 cm.
Care of obrieta
• Peduncles with faded flowers are regularly removed. This reception
preserves the decorativeness of plants and contributes to abundant autumn
bloom.
• After flowering, the plants are cut. This stimulates the growth of new
shoots and creates a beautiful compact form of bushes.
Top dressing, watering, weeding
Young plants obriyeta need to weed and water regularly.
Over time, the need for weeding disappears. Aubrecia grows
dense carpet, suppressing weeds trying to break through it
thickets.
Watering is carried out, if necessary, in dry weather.
Feed in the spring before flowering and after pruning complex
mineral fertilizer.
Care of obrieta зимой
An interesting feature is obriety is that in the period
rest she does not shed leaves. Their color is bluish in summer,
cold weather becomes bright green. If winter is too harsh and
snowless, to keep the bushes better to cover them dry
leaves. Young plants are more winter-hardy than adults.
