To grow up persimmon from stone and to wait for fructification, not less than 5 years are necessary. And still, cultivation of persimmon thus not rarity. And though persimmon is tree, some keen experimenters are engaged in its cultivation even in the conditions of the apartment.
It is required to you
- persimmon stones, soil, mineral and organic fertilizers, gauze, saucer, glasses, bucket
Instruction
1. Wash up persimmon stones. It will be better if slightly to rub them soft sponge. Dry at the room temperature. Meanwhile prepare saucer, piece of gauze, by the size four times exceeding its surface, solution for prorashchivaniye of seeds. If you have no similar mix, the melt water in which it is necessary to dissolve several grains of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus will approach. To prepare melt water, pour into the enameled ware a little cold water from under the crane, put for the night in the deep freeze, hollow the middle in the morning, defreeze the rest - it is and there will be melt water.
2. Pour solution for prorashchivaniye of seeds in saucer. Fold double gauze. On quarter of piece put persimmon seeds, cover with the second quarter. Remove to the warm place (but not on the battery, it too hot). In 3-4 days open gauze. Let's seeds "breathe" a little. Check availability of solution. If it is absent or very little – add. It is reasonable to carry out similar inspections within 1-2 weeks, it is necessary to wait before emergence of sprouts so much. Unfortunately, not all seeds of persimmon are ripened. If in two weeks there are no sprouts, the experiment temporarily was not successful. It is necessary to begin prorashchivaniye anew.
3. Fill glasses in which lower part the opening for drainage, is made the soil. It is better to take the ready soil intended for seedling. It, as a rule, is balanced on the content of nutrients. If there is no opportunity to take the ready soil, it can be prepared. For this purpose mix 2 parts of the garden earth with 1 part of peat and 2 parts of humus. Add 2 g of nitrogen and 1 g of potassium on each kilogram of the soil. Bring water solution of double superphosphate in number of 2 g kilograms. Carefully plant the arisen seeds so that not to damage sprout.
4. Look after seedling. Put it to the warm place, provide uniform lighting. In 3-5 days trace whether the stone has departed. Professionals recommend it to remove whereas amateur gardeners consider that seedling safely develops also without active intervention of the person. The main thing is to create optimal conditions for growth.
5. At emergence 3-4 presents of leaf persimmon need to be replaced in bucket. Pave the way as it has been described above. You carry out change in the evening. Do not forget to water. Also as in glasses, provide drainage system through which excess moisture will leave. Otherwise roots can begin to start to rot. All further care for persimmon which was decided to be grown up from stone consists in monthly fertilizing, scarification, observance of the water, light and temperature modes.
6. Prishchipnite of tree when those reach 30-35 cm. It needs to be made that persimmon has begun to branch. Leave several top escapes, and through some time to prishchipnita and them. Forming of tree – the whole science and if you want your persimmon which is grown up from stone to fructify, you should seize it.
