main fad
In general, lilac - quite undemanding plant. Shrub is so popular in Russia, because it can withstand temperatures down easily, successfully adapted to direct sunlight and shade, ideal for planting in metropolitan areas not affected by pollution air. But the plant will be more beautiful, and it blooms - more plentiful and brighter if to give it attention.
- It would seem that someone comes into my head water lilac. Indeed, systematic soil moisture needed only to young plants, which have not yet taken root in the new location. But in the summer, when the withered bush, lilac watered in hot and dry weather. There is a struggle not only with the drought (her lilac tolerant), but with overheating!
For emergency watering lilac take warm water. If shed roots with cold water from the tap, I'm not sure that the garden bush will be delighted. Rather, experience stress.
-
met recommendations loosen tree trunks to a depth of 5 cm and weed weeds. I'll be honest: it is possible, and there are benefits, but I do not have much time to do it.
And the Council to make the soil breathable due to the fact that the lilac does not like heavy soils. For example, loam. In this land better add coarse river sand + humus, and loosening hardly need!
- The problem of overheating of the roots and loosening partly solve the mulch. The tree trunks can be put fallen leaves, peat, humus 5-7 cm thick. Young trees better sprinkle thickly: a layer of 10 cm to the fragile seedling survived perhaps frosty winter.
- After flowering lilac inspect: maybe there are signs Pests and Diseases? If yes, then you need to take adequate measures. For example, in my lilac periodically appear powdery mildew.
- An item that does not cause me to doubt - top-dressing lilacs in June. Should she take the strength from somewhere on the formation of the rudiments of fragrant cloud next year? Take a bucket of humus / compost, mix it with a potassium-phosphorus fertilizer and spread in tree trunks. Fine, if it works then slightly to close up the soil manual ripper.
Any dressing better to make in cloudy, rainy weather
Light version - scatter granular fertilizer for flowering plants, superphosphate or triple superphosphate. Supporters ekosadovodstva recommend the old, good and always useful wood ash.
Pruning after flowering lilac
When the lilacs bloom has finished, remove the buds. Why do we need to plant to expend energy on ripening of seeds? A similar fate awaits the root growth, which has already managed to grow.
If necessary, make a formative pruning. If you shorten the branches now, the new flower buds will form on what was left and it grew. Trim the autumn or in the spring, before flowering - lose half caps.
Do not spare the tree, forming a beautiful crown. Cut the excess branches, interfere with each other. It will be more beautiful than a shapeless and gelled bush. Here is an exemplary diagram:
Be sure to remove all the dry shoots!
