Good afternoon dear friends!
Another early spring began blooming my most favorite home flower of Gloxy. I love him even more geranium!
.
In fact, all the flowers are good, each in its own way, but Gloxinia with its stunning terry bells - a special flower.
I want to share with you uncomplicated landing and care for Gloxy.
Home flower of gloxia. Description
The scientific name of Gloxinia is Sinning. And she appeared in Europe in the 19th century, where was brought from the tropical forests of Brazil.This German gardener liked this flower so much that he had been surname since then.
Breeders brought many gloxinia varieties, and simple, and terry, and sittsene, the most diverse color: white, lilac, red, pink, blue, purple, with a smooth transition from one color to another, with a contrast rim on the edges of the leaves, and there are petals , Delivered by numerous points.
Gloxinia is a tuber plant with large depressed leaves.
Flowers have a bell-shaped form with a diameter of 5 to 13 centimeters.
At the same time, on one plant may bloom up to 20 -30 flowers.
Gloxy flowers from early spring to late autumn. Some flowerflowers - lovers say that they have gloccia and flowers in winter. Yes, it is capable of it, but it is not right. In winter, Gloxinia needs to be given to peace, otherwise she can eventually die from exhaustion.
For the first time I met Gloxinia, still living in Pavlodar. We in the center of the city there was a private house at the corner of the quarter. And here, passing by him, I always paid attention to the windows that everyone was forced by pots with gloxy of different varieties.
Imagine, what a beauty! Of course, I was visited by envy and the desire to have gloxy at home. Since then, I have become gloomy, tear off the leaves from all colors that I saw, and bring home.
Then I had a rather extensive collection.
Unfortunately, after moving, I do not have this now, but I strive.
How to grow gloxy from sheet
Splitting sheets is the easiest and most reliable way to grow homemade in Gloxinia.
If you saw friends with beautiful gloxinia and wanted to grow her at home, bring off a slowly, so that no one notice
, healthy young medium size sheet, and better two or three.
Houses shorten cuttings up to 1.5-2 cm and lower in a small cup with boiled water. Each sheet in a separate glass!
To avoid posting, add a couple of "phytosporin" drops into the water.
Water is not necessary to change, but only to pour if necessary.
When the roots appear, the plant needs to be put in a very small pot with a subraction from a mixture of peat and river sand.
In my experience, when landing a stalk, it is better to keep with a slight tilt, it should not stand strictly vertically.
When young plants appear, we transplant Gloxinia to a permanent place of residence in a more spacious pot of 12-13 cm.
The Land of Gloxinia is needed nourishing from a mixture of field earth, sheet and dung humus and river sand in a 1: 2: 1: 1 ratio.
Be sure to make a good drainage.
In the first year of life, plants grown from the sheet, you can not arrange the rest period.
How to grow gloxy from seeds
Gloxinia can be grown from seeds. Of these, you can get the largest number of young plants. It should only be borne in mind that this method is not suitable for growing valuable terry and sorts of gloxinia. And for simple varieties, which are also a lot of very beautiful colors, the best time is sowing - January-February.You need to take a low dishes, pour into it a mixture of peat, sand and leaf slowing down, well seal the surface.
Seeds scatter on the surface of the earth, the land is not needed. Close up with glass or film. The same way of planting as and petunia.
Put the dishes in a warm place. Shoot will appear in 10-15 days. They can only spray from the spray gun, do not watered to avoid the mooring of the soil, from which sprouts can die.
A month later, the plants of Gloxinia are pixing, a month later planted in a small pot, and when they grow a little, in the pots more.
Usually, gloxinia grown from seeds starts blossom in 6-7 months.
After biting, Gloxinia is prepared for the rest period.
Planting the tuber of Gloxinia
If you want to start gloxinia and do not bother with seeds and leaves, visit the flower shop in February. Choose medium gloxy tubers, healthy with alive eyes. Very large tubers, most likely old, we are for nothing. Of the small tubers, the plant will bloom not as abundant and long, as from the average.
I have already written the requirements for choosing a pot and earth.
Do not confuse where the root, and where the eyes!
Sazed the tuber roots down to the ground one third of his heights. The rest must be above the ground.
Earth should be poured so that its surface is not even, but decreased to the edges of the pot. It is necessary so that when watering moisture does not fall on the tuber.
When the sprout reaches 5 cm, you can plug the earth and close the tuber completely.
Gloxinia. Home care
Gloxinia is absolutely not demanding of care, this is an unpretentious flower. But still there are rules for its maintenance at home that you need to know.
It does not like to moisten the mooring of the soil, so it is especially thoroughly related to the drainage device when landing.
It is necessary to water constantly, moderately in the edge of the pot so that the water does not get on the tuber, and in no case on the flowers and leaves. And it is best to water into the pallet.
Gloxinia loves light, but does not endure straight sunny rays. She passed on to the eastern windows. If the light is missing, the plant begins to stretch up.
In the growth stage, Gloksinia must be picked up every 10-15 days. Suitable, for example, "Unifloor-growth", and in the stage of bootonization - "Uniflor-bud".
In the fall, you need to prepare Gloxy to the rest period. Without it, the plant will be blossoming not actively and ultimately will die.
Glocking rest period
From September cease to feed, and since the end of October, it is gradually cutting watering.
When the leaves are yellowed, they are cut, the stem is also cut, leaving 1.5 - 2 cm.
A pot with a tuber (it does not need to dig up) tolerate in a dry dark and cool room, where the plant will be winter until February. And when it wakes up, it will be possible to bring it out again.
Some modern gloxinia varieties can bloom for quite a long time, even in December. Oh or sorry, but they need to be preparing for peace by force, cutting flowers and leaves.
Home flower of Gloxinia with proper care will please you with abundant blossom. If she has dark green leaves, located horizontally, a short stem and many buds, it means that Gloxinia lives well in your home.
