Hyacinth — the grassy bulbous plant relating to family of asparagus family. Flowers of hyacinth are collected in magnificent brushes and have refined aroma. On the end of blossoming the land leaves and stalk with peduncle die off, and on bulb are formed the main kidney and several small (child). Cultivation and care for plant are not especially difficult, however, to grow up extraordinary beautiful flowers of hyacinth important to know some nuances.
Reproduction
Apply two ways to reproduction of hyacinths: seeds (for experienced flower growers) and bulbs. For cultivation of hyacinths on personal plots of bulb have to be the average size. It is necessary to plant bulbs late fall, before frosts. The bulb surely has to manage to take roots, but it is not necessary to allow it to go to growth. If bulbs to land in the spring that, as a rule, the plant will blossom only the next year.
Agrotechnology
By the end of August the site under landing it is necessary to dig over and introduce fertilizers. Also it is desirable to facilitate the soil additive of bank sand if it is heavy. The bed needs to be covered with opaque material to prevent emergence of weeds. Before approach of frosts of bulb of hyacinths land to the earth. Depth of landing hole has to exceed the bulb size by 3-4 times. In hole it is possible to pour a little fine bank sand.
For the winter the bed needs to be zamulchirovat. In the spring as soon as snow descends, the mulch cleans up, and the soil is carefully loosened. Further plants are fed up by nitrogen-containing fertilizers, and the bed takes cover black film for 2-3 weeks. Summer leaving comes down to weeding from weeds, to watering and timely cut of peduncles. Leaves of plant have to dry up in itself.
Wreckers of hyacinth
The main wreckers are ticks, plant louse and medvedka. The hyacinthine tick damages escapes and leaves of plant, at the same time stalks are bent and lag behind in growth. The onions tick strikes hyacinth bulbs in the soil and at storage. For fight against pincers the soil needs to be processed bazudiny or diazine. Before putting bulbs on storage it is necessary to reject infected, and to burn sick plants.
The plant louse damages leaves and peduncles. For extermination of plant louse the plant is sprayed with carbophos or fosbetsidy. Also use of wood ashes and soap solution helps.
Medvedka oppresses root system and damages bulbs. The plant considerably lags behind in development, and bulbs can rot. In the spring the medvedka is caught, trenching in baits to the soil on depth of several centimeters.
