It is useful to refresh indoor flowers in the air and the sun like a person. It is required to arrange rest for plants outside the room. The weather outside will tell you the time of taking out and airing flowers. Morning air temperatures of at least 15 ° C are suitable for green spaces to get used to new conditions.

On a note. Being on a glassed-in balcony is not to the liking of Saintpaulia and certain varieties of cacti.

Agrotechnics

Site preparation

Irregular, vertical and raised flower beds are within the power of almost every grower. The main thing is to match the design of the garden area.

Before the decision on the shape of the flower bed and plant species is approved, a couple of color sketches are made on paper.Adheres to the selected sketch and dimensions when transferring the plan to the lot. Provide a harmonious combination of a flower garden with the decor of the house, garden, paths.

Flower garden

Walls made of stone or brick of raised beds are made out with the onset of autumn.

Planted on a flower garden 20-30 crops (3 species of annuals and 1 or 2 species of perennial plants). With experience and practice, they expand the range.

Soil preparation

When choosing seeds for autumn planting, a flower garden is prepared, which ensures successful wintering of plants and spring flowering. It is required to pre-dig up the ground and fertilize. The makeup mixture is just right to make yourself. It will be needed for 1 m2 of area:

  • potassium sulfate (40 g);
  • ammonium nitrate (20 g);
  • superphosphate (40 g).

Advice! A double dosage of dry sand is mixed into the mixture, which is sprinkled with soil before the very planting of seeds.

Carefully feed the plants with organic matter. They take rotted humus or compost, otherwise the tubers will get burned, and in the spring the crops will have rare flowers.

After digging and applying top dressing, the soil is equalized with a rake and watered.

Preparation of planting material

To facilitate the work, they make a list of flower crops that they plan to plant for the summer cottage. They purchase planting material in seed shops or from a web catalog on the Internet if propagation using seeds is planned.

Important! It is necessary that each delenka has at least 3 buds and roots.

Or they start preparing planting material in the fall. Old bushes are dug up, cut with pruning shears or shoots are separated with a shovel, leaving shoots of 5-10 cm. Then, with a shovel or a knife, they crush the bush.

Seasonal features of planting perennials

When planting, the burial of perennials is determined by the parameters of the planting material:

  • bush size;
  • seedlings;
  • dealerships;
  • onions;
  • rhizome;
  • rooted cuttings.

Freesia corms, crocuses, as well as lhyacinths and tulips, daffodils and lilies youplanted to a depth that is three times the height.

Attention! Crocus bulbs undergo culinary processing: boiling, baking.

Sections of rhizomes are laid in furrows so that the buds are at ground level. When planting rooted cuttings and cuttings, the buds are located 1-2 cm lower or at the level of the soil.

On the shoots of aging bushes of astilba and peonies, volzhanka, kupena and aquilegia, a mark from the soil can be seen in the lower part, which shows the depth of planting of the mother culture. This is a reference point for planting and deepening.

Cultures that prefer shade are not afraid of deepening when planting: hybrid iris, astilba. The vertical build-up will reveal the rhizome. Cultures dry up. Mulch will be required. However, they avoid deepening the peony cuttings.

It is important for summer residents to know how flower seeds are planted. When planting seedlings from seeds, the lower leaves are located at the surface of the soil when deepened. The small seedling should not hang in the soil. It is required to press the soil against the roots.

Shrub propagated by cuttings and seeds

Often, when landing, the roots are allowed to bend up and to the sides. This provokes the development of the disease, sometimes the dropping of foliage and even the death of the plant.

Incorrect planting (sideways) of ground cover crops leads to drying out of the root system. The technology of planting ground cover crops, for example, sedum, involves:

  • the placement of the dividers on the surface of the loose moist soil;
  • lowering the roots down;
  • pressing the soil around the circumference, lightly pressing in the middle of the cut;
  • watering the plant;
  • mulching.

Planting perennials in open ground

Each culture puts forward its own requirements for the temperature regime and the length of daylight hours. If perennials are planted very late or early, this threatens poor development of ornamental plants, weakened flowering and lack of strength in the root system for wintering.

It is necessary to take into account the temperature regime

When to plant perennial flowers so that the flowerbed is decorative?

To close the voids after digging the bulbs and removed baskets with primroses are useful fast growing flower plants:

  • clarkia and calendula;
  • marigolds and kosmeya;
  • snapdragons and various climbing cultures.

When warmth is established, flower growers plant biennials in June. Flowers will decorate the flower bed only next year. This season, the openwork of carved foliage will delight, a year later the flower will make the flower bed unrecognizable.

At the beginning of summer, biennial plants are sown:

  • foxglove and turkish carnation;
  • mallow and gypsophila;
  • daisies and viola;
  • bell lunaria.

Viola

When summer residents like biennials, it is recommended to break up a flower garden in the form of geometric patterns. The order of planting is observed to change the fragments of the flower pattern with greens.

When choosing planting material, it is transferred to open soil. Perennial flowers are grown in the following way:

  • tubers;
  • bulbs;
  • seeds.

The best time to plant is early spring. Perennial flowers are planted in August or with the arrival of autumn. When deciding to grow perennial flowers from seeds, they do it in the fall, after the first cold snap. Be sure to loosen the soil and apply top dressing before sowing. Plants will bloom after 2 or 3 years, except for the delphinium. The flowering that occurs in the first year does not differ in intensity.

Bulbous perennials such as crocuses, daffodils and tulips are transplanted in autumn. Crops that bloom in summer should be transplanted to a permanent site at the end of spring. Lilies are planted in autumn. For the most part, bulbous crops are frost-resistant. Tuberous perennials (dahlias and calla lilies) are afraid of sudden temperature jumps. In the fall, they are dug up and stored in a cellar.

Attention! It is advisable to plant perennial plants with seedlings in spring or summer for better survival and development.

Autumn planting

Planting of flower crops in autumn is carried out in stages. Large bulbous ones are first planted on a planned flower garden. When selecting material for planting, sick and damaged specimens are rejected.

To avoid infection of plants, roots or bulbs with malofos (2%) are etched, keeping the material in solution for half an hour. Then immerse for 30 minutes. in potassium permanganate.

In October, the rows are renewed and phlox, oriental poppy, aquilegia, and lupine are sown.

On a note. They remember the principles of planting crops in a flower garden. Tall, sun-loving and broad-leaved individuals are placed in the center.

The edges are decorated with dwarf border varieties. A powerful host in the microenvironment of daisies looks great. Rhizomes and bulbs are preferable for planting in autumn - crops will tolerate cold weather well.

Seeds are sown more often so that the dead sprouts do not greatly affect the decorative properties of the flower garden in the summer cottage.

Large crops are planted at intervals of 0.6 m so that the flowers do not oppress each other. Think over the location of the flower beds.

When planting perennials in autumn, they focus on the timing of flowering plants. A flowering calendar will help keep your front garden looking bright. Thus, they plan to plant perennials, provide a change in flowering individuals, and carry out a short pruning of dry branches.

Pruning stems and leaves

Transplanting perennials to another place

In spring and autumn, garden perennials need replanting. For reasons, what explains the need to replant perennial flowers in spring include:

  1. Preparing for the winter season, rapid engraftment, root extension. Planting in spring gives the flower almost six months to adapt.
  2. Perennial garden plants that bloom in summer and autumn do minimal damage when transplanted at this time.
  3. The procedure is suitable for rejuvenating crops and obtaining planting material.

A short period between transplants is noted in evening primrose, pyrethrum, lunaria, certain varieties of primrose, coupled with a violet. This group includes alpine poppy and levkoy.

Poppy

Planting after 2 or 3 years is covered in:

  • loss of decorative qualities;
  • elevation of roots above the soil;
  • the formation of a bald spot in the middle of a curtain of dried roots and branches.

Important! Adults are systematically dug up, carefully divided and planted. When the manipulation is not carried out, after 5 years the lily bulbs and rhizomes of irises are buried in the ground, the formed sprouts are characterized by weakness and lack of flowering.

Transplanted and propagated by dividing phlox and delphinium rhizomes, hosts and astilbe, peonies. The operation is carried out in the spring or autumn period:

  • better cultures tolerate the procedure, which is carried out from mid-April to early May;
  • in the autumn season, perennial plants are transferred to a new bed in August or September.

Transplanting perennials in autumn is fraught with risks: not rooting or death of plantings with the onset of frost.

Attention! The replanting of perennials is consistent with the long-term weather forecast, frost resistance of plants and the climate characteristics of the region.

Lack of precipitation and temperature + 12 ... + 15 ° С is a good time to transplant flowers.

Perennials with tap roots are more difficult to transplant. The dicentra and Persian poppies, lupine and aquilegia painfully perceive trauma to the root system. Therefore, at the base of the outlet, the root growth is carefully separated.

Flower garden decoration on the balcony

Do-it-yourself balcony decoration depends on:

  • its dimensions;
  • color wall palette;
  • general style of the room.

DIY balcony decoration

To green up balcony space, take the following steps:

  1. They start by clearing and cleaning up the trash.
  2. Check the reliability of the parapet.
  3. If necessary, repair the wall.

Loggia can be open or glazed. On a closed balcony, the temperature does not rise above +5 ° C. Geranium and chlorophytum, palms and heathers grow there.

On the insulated and heated balcony, they do not forget to create suitable conditions:

  • humidity;
  • illumination;
  • protection from direct sunlight.

 

Ipomoea on the balcony

For an open balcony on the south side, choose:

  • small-flowered petunia;
  • ivy or zoned geranium;
  • purslane;
  • phlox.

Interesting. Ipomoea is grown as a green screen that protects the room from the sun's rays.

When choosing home flowers for a loggia, preference is given to begonias. With the growth of floors, drafts on non-glazed balconies intensify. Low crops will help out there: daisies, marigolds.

For ampel flowers, strong supports are useful for personal safety and flower protection. When organizing a vertical composition, plants are placed on the wall in a random order.

Many gardeners prefer perennials because of their simplicity and ease of care. The main thing is to correctly combine perennial garden plants, taking into account the timing of flowering. Then the created floral masterpiece will delight and bring pleasure throughout the summer season.
