Landing secrets
The flower is unpretentious in leaving and to the place of landing, but under different conditions its coloring can change. The greatest effect will be reached on the darkened sites in the open ground. To optimum choose the territory on which till lunch sunshine get and in the afternoon it turns out tenek. In this case it will not be necessary to organize additional watering. On the solar place of Brunner loses the decorative effect.
The Krupnolisty look prefers the fertile, damp and trained soil. Usually does not demand fertilizing as because of them there is active growth of leaves. Siberian Brunner perfectly grows on clay and damp soils, does not demand weeding because of powerful rhizome. Both views on the same place can grow up to 15 years.
The flower can be grown up from seeds. Krupnolisty types naseivatsya independently at certain weather patterns. Seeds in the summer since June gather. Before landing there has to take place long process of stratification. On it about two months leave. Therefore usually land in the fall for the winter. The plant gives blossoming for the third year after landing.
Ideal "neighbors" in characteristics and beauty are:
- lungwort;
- hellebore;
- geykher;
- astilba;
- rodzhersiya;
- fern;
Reproduction
The main way of reproduction – vegetative, pieces of root system. It is better to make division in August when the plant fades, will put renewal escapes. The bush is dug out, and leaves cut off, leaving small stump from stalks. Division into parts happens on rhizome disorder.
Large-leaved Brunner can dig out together with small amount of the soil and to replace in flowerpot. That she has taken root, add soft nutritious soil to it. Flowerpots put in the shaded place. With the onset of cold weather the preparation for the next season plant begins bring to the cool room.
Siberian Brunner breeds otherwise. It has very developed root system therefore for reproduction pieces are used. At first rhizomes dig out, then exempt from the old and rotting sites, break on several parts.
Leaving
After landing leaving consists weeds, rykhleniye at a distance. In hot days there can be need for additional watering. Surely delete leaves and peduncles which have lost the beauty. In the early spring for stimulation of vegetation and increase of large leaves perennial feed up fertilizers. Granules scatter on the thawing snow. In this case they are dissolved and absorbed to the earth with moisture.
Sometimes with brunnery at cultivation there are problems:
- At the increased humidity the plant suffers from brown spottiness.
- There can be defeat by mealy dew.
- In flowerpots at frequent waterings roots can begin to rot.
- On personal plot the harm is done by whiteflies and plant louse.
Gardeners remind that to dig up the soil under brunnery it is forbidden. It is possible to damage easily the roots located close to earth surface.
In conclusion we will note: Brunner perfectly looks along paths, can decorate any Alpine hill or rock arias. Well looks as the lower tier in multy-storey beds and shades tall perennials in miksborder.
