In midland the liana kobeyu is grown up as annual plant, and only through seedling, the plant does not transfer negative temperatures. However some gardeners part it as long-term culture, despite complexity of wintering, the large sizes of bush and bad survival after change.
Cultivation of seedling
Landing of seeds of kobea is carried out in February or March. If before they were long stored, recommend previously them to couch in the damp fabric moistened with weak solution of potassium permanganate. Seeds place so that they did not adjoin with each other, then turn in polyethylene film and couch at temperature above +20os. Sprouts of kobea appear in 2-3 weeks. If at the same time the mold is formed, they should be washed with potassium permanganate and to replace fabric.
Germinated seeds land in nutritious soft soil, stack them horizontally on depth of 1-1.5 cm the flat party down. After emergence of the first present sheet the seedlings dive in separate pots then water and regularly feed up. If necessary use pegs or cords for support.
The grown-up plants pass in more volume ware, at the same time it is necessary to try not to damage earth lump. Seedling of liana of kobea is strongly extended, for the best kushcheniye it is prishchipyvat several times. It forms magnificent branched krone and improves decorative qualities of flower. To receive strong and early the blossoming plants, it is possible to seed seeds in July and to leave saplings for the winter in cold light greenhouse where temperature near +8-10os is maintained.
Landing and leaving
The liana is landed in soil at the beginning of summer, plants place at distance 70-90 cm from each other. For landing choose the warm place at fence, wall or other support. The soil has to be well fertilized and trained. In the beginning plants tie to pegs. When young escapes intertwine, the support any more will not be required to them, they will climb surface by means of the tenacious short moustaches. The liana kobeya best of all grows in solar places, but can transfer also easy half-shade. It it is necessary it is regularly abundant to water, especially in hot weather, but it is necessary to avoid stagnation of moisture, it causes fungal diseases of root system. The soil in pristvolny circle always has to be damp, it is recommended to mulch by means of peat or sawdust. The plant will blossom and will gain good vegetative weight only if to do weekly fertilizing. They begin to be carried out at stage of cultivation of seedling in the closed soil. In turn introduce organic and mineral fertilizers, and at the beginning of growth the liana needs mainly nitrogen, and is closer to the blossoming period — potassium and phosphorus.
