Formation of the appearance of plants

The main methods of forming the appearance of the plants include pruning, prischipku, pasynkovanie and tying. |

Cropping is very important for plants, because It allows you to maintain a balance between the aboveground part of the plant and its root system. When forming the crown pruning, it is necessary not only to give the plant a beautiful view, but to achieve a balanced supply of nutrients to all branches plant, in addition, the plant on all sides should be available to light and air.

Scheme evkaliptaNekotorye crop plants (laurels, myrtles, biota, boxwood, etc.) can withstand pruning, to give them a variety of forms, such as balls, pyramids, etc.

For shtambovoy form in plants remove all side shoots, but when escape is designed for removing trunk to reach the desired height, pinch out the tip of it. This will cause the appearance of the leaf axils of side shoots, which also pinch out the tops, and so do 2-3 times until the crown is not ramify quite well. In shtambovoy form grow roses, pelargonium, fuchsia and other

Crop conducted annually in the spring, after the transplant. The shoots are cut off above the bud, facing outward. This scion of the kidney should not remain, but the kidney should not be damaged. Pruning shears spend, sharp scissors or a knife.

Strong pruning is used to rejuvenate the plant (pelargonium, fuchsia, hydrangea, etc.). This removes almost all the crown, leaving only the short shoots with 2-3 buds. In carrying out pruning should be considered, where the buds should be formed - in the old or young shoots. Plants whose flowers are formed in the new summer shoots, cut in the spring, before growth. The figure shows the place of cutting, in this case, the ends of young shoots.

By the way: not always topping the apical bud immediately leads to the development of lateral shoots sometimes it takes quite a long time. For example, once in May, I prischipnula on euonymus apical buds of two lateral shoots, and branches, these shoots have begun only in July, all the while growing more, not prischipnutye shoots.

Prischipka or pinitsirovka, is the removal of apical buds, or buds from the end of the escape, the kidney is removed or cut off his hands with scissors or a knife. This causes the development of lateral shoots. Plants pinch after transplantation, when they take root and begin growing. Note that prischipka and cropping delaying the beginning of flowering, so once the plants get the desired shape or tillering, prischipku stop. Prischipka or a small pruning in August, strong branches with flower buds, improves the quality of flowers.

Many plants trimmed after flowering (acacia, hydrangea, etc.). The plants lose their leaves in winter (fuchsia, etc.) cut in the spring with the beginning of new growth. In this cut, dry, weak and superfluous branches. Good strong branch shorten by about half.

U passion fruit after flowering cut all the flowering shoots almost to the ground and in the autumn but this does not cut all lignified shoots. In the spring of passion fruit is cut in the lower shoots that all juices are sent to the upper, bloom shoots. But at Hoya (wax ivy), on the contrary, flowering shoots are not cut, because they are able to produce new flowers.

Pasynkovanie - reception, is to remove excess shoots (stepsons). It is used mainly for decorative and flowering plants. Removed not flowering or not flowering side shoots. This method contributes to a more abundant blooms and getting larger flowers.

Garter plant is designed to give the plant stability and a more beautiful sight. Garter should be required to plant a garden made in the open air, so that the plant was not affected by the wind. Tie up plants woolen thread, soft lace, ribbon, bast, large plants in the form of trees, tie up the wire (a coil). Threads or braid is better to take green or brown. When tying is important that the plant can not be damaged peel stalks. Plants with long barrel tie up in several places. We bushy plants tie up one or several main stems.

The figure shows the different ways to create podvyaznoy wall, which can be made from thin reechek.

More difficult to tie ample plants. For example, to tie up the branches of asparagus growing in plant pots on the wall near the ceiling, into the pot with the plant gently stuck stick (you can use an old watercolor brush or pencil) on the opposite wall of the plant are driven small cloves. From sticks to these studs tightened skin, better than white, which entwine themselves around the branches asparagus, it is desirable that went to each branch has its own thread. Thus, we can arrange a green curtain from the ceiling. Some tie up a thread just for the branch plant, but can not be done because can perezhat thread vessels in the stem, branch, and eventually wither away or be sick.

Care leaves - also might be called appearance. Dust, dirt deposited on the leaves of plants as well as items of furniture, but it is not always visible. Dust clogs the pores on the leaves, preventing the processes of breathing, reduces the amount of light, so necessary to plants, or simply violate the decorative beauty of plants. In plants with broad leaves dust is particularly noticeable. The leaves of these plants should be frequently wiped with a damp cloth or sponge. Plants that are not contraindicated for spraying, would do well to periodically organize a shower, if allows the size of the plant. You can also use aerosols or sprays for polishing the leaves, but not for all plants can use them. Especially useful tool polishing for large plants that clean sponge for too long, and if such a plant is in the office, on rubbing the leaves no time. Means polishing leaves are sold to the florist or garden center. Before you buy wax, make sure that your plant can handle polish, and carefully read the instructions, especially precautions. Plants with pubescent leaves can not be wiped with a sponge or cloth, and dust accumulates on them as well. So they cleaned from dust with a soft brush to paint. Cacti and other succulents are also cleaned with a brush, and for prevention of various pests, these plants are periodically washed with a brush dipped in pure medical alcohol. And of course all must understand that any plants must periodically strip the yellowed and withered leaves, and old faded flowers as it spoils its decorative appeal. When you strip the old leaves and remove damaged, pay attention, not too many of them. Otherwise, it may be wound up at your plant pest, or violated the conditions of detention.

Very often you can see a picture (for example tsissusa): tsissus rombolistny placed in the center of the room with a southern window, in the spring and summer in the room a bright diffused light, the plant is in excellent health. Autumn, sunny days are rare, short daylight hours and at tsissusa begin to turn yellow and wither and grow brown leaves, despite the fact that all the same window in the room on the south side. By winter the plant will lose half of its leaves, and by the spring specifically oblyseet. Not versed in the indoor plant person will sin of lack of watering, and God forbid it will flood, but in fact all that he had put the plant on the window sill, or put next to it fluorescent tube. If you say - why is the formation of the appearance, then I'll tell you that in some way the formation of the appearance is the result of care and the rules of the content of the plant.
