"Bride and groom" (kampanula) in the house: the acquisition and cultivation of subtlety

Kampanula ravnolistnaya - elegant in the dissolution of a houseplant, known Russian ear grower as "bride and groom". Looking ahead, I will say that there is also a "lover".

Unfortunately, although kampanuly look very nice, their popularity has come to naught: the flowers are rarely seen on the windowsills and shelves. Perhaps, "fashion has passed," as they say. And the plant growth fraught with difficulties in the first place - a difficult winter. In this article you will learn what are the kampanuly I bought and I try to keep the "Bridegroom", features of care.

"Groom", "bride" and "lover"

Kampanuly ravnolistnye primarily for coloring. It:

"Bride"

It is not difficult to guess that the "bride" - is an indoor plant with white flowers. It looks gentle and lovely.

"Groom"

"Bride" is different purple or bluish coloring. In perfect harmony with the snow-white girlfriend.

"Lover" (bicolor)

The love triangle is complete without a presentation of two-color "lover." Center of the flower - white edges - purple.

Within these groups there is a separation of kampanul varieties and types of terry, the shape of petals and shoots type: ampelnye (hanging) or poluampelnye). For example, white "bell" can be simple and terry.

Where can I find a plant?

I used to think that to get a retro potted plant is very difficult. Well, I have not seen him anywhere! But, having decided to take up the matter thoroughly, I understood: the main thing - the desire!

It is recommended to purchase a house plant is not in flower shop, and on the hands. In the store it is likely overfed stimulants and the risk that the new acquisition will be lost, is very large. Home stalk was used to room conditions and did not get a horse doses of doping chemical for presentation.

Here are 3 options:

• Go to sites like "Avito" and search for nearby offers. At the time of writing this article I found 252 offers throughout Russia.

• Find social networking community of your municipality and to cry. Maybe someone will respond and agree to sell or exchange process cuttings.
• I, crimson buy "Bridegroom", found in Vkontakte group kampanul lovers. Women are sent by mail domesticated cuttings. Community called "Kampanula flowers. Bride and groom". This is not advertising, I myself did not order it. Just for reference.

In early March, I found kampanulu ravnolistnuyu in Leroy Merlin. We, in Tver, there is a fairly wide range komntanyh plants in one place.

Not looking for easy ways

The first thing that should be done immediately after purchase:

• cut off all the buds and open flowers;
• transplanted into a new pot and the soil (I picked up a universal "Fusco" for flowering);
• process from pests (kampanuly - a favorite treat spider mite).

In the process:

I often come across the opinion that repot a houseplant immediately after purchase and the more shear flowers "sorry". But it is much more humane than leaving it in unsuitable conditions for a healthy existence. In 90% of cases of untreated kampanula please flowering a couple of months and is withered.

Let me remind you, I bought her "groom" a month ago. That's what happens to him now:

• The plant acquires new and new buds, which I'll break. My goal - to force the plant to develop a root system; give as much as possible of new lateral branches and shoots from the roots.
• It grows out of the earth shoots - it's very good.

But to say that kampanula bought in the store, became fully domesticated, it is possible only after the successful overwintering. During the cold season, most plants shrinks and disappears. I will keep up to date, and at the same time try to root stalk.

3 key features of successful cultivation kampanul house

• Kampanuly ravnolistnye - real vodohloby. Check to see if the soil is dry, it is necessary every day.
• Pot sweet trinity should be broad; not bad if you fit into a cube. Make sure that the height was not greater than the width.
• Kampanule need a lot of light. But the direct rays of the sun can leave burns.
• Winter - the most important time in the life of the home kampanul. They do not tolerate the cold season, in front of which trimmed the plant. The main condition - the abundance of light and infrequent watering (but the land should not completely dry). Recommendations require reducing the air temperature to 15 ° C, but you know, this is usually impossible. Therefore, we focus on the light and the right irrigation mode!
