4 good reasons to love and raise fuchsia
In my opinion, fuchsia - one of the most beautiful plants for home, balconies, open terrace and garden. In Soviet times, the flower was in almost every second house, then its popularity diminished. Now fuchsia reborn: breeders breed new varieties of any pretentious taste. I give 4 advantages of this bright room (and not only!), The plants.
enchanting bloom
Fuchsia - an ornamental plant, which blooms long and bright. Without any effort on our part! Colorful flowers peculiar shape with juicy coloring appear from early spring to late autumn, constantly replacing each other. Single flower withers - and now disbanded a couple of new ones!
To ensure uninterrupted flowering fuchsia, pay attention to the formation of the crown. The calculation is simple: the more luxuriant bush or cascade, the more young twigs - the greater the number of buds. Advise cut shoots or pinch shoots 10-15 cm.
"Stuck and grows"
Fuchsia is very easy to propagate by cuttings. It should be cut off part of the shoot and put it into the water - a week or two you will see a "beard" of thin roots. And you can put directly into the ground stalk - a guarantee of 95%, take root.
Thereby:
- you can take a cutting of new varieties with friends or lovers, gardeners;
- you can multiply fuchsia that you have, for seasonal planting on the balcony, or a bed in the house.
Fuchsia growing too fast: I Cuttings houseplant in March, and by July had already started luxuriant bloom on the balcony.
Without the headache
Easy to care for fuchsia. I write basic:
- Make sure that the earthen room in the pot does not dry up. Because of this, the plant resets buds and flowers.
- Place the flower in a place with ambient light. Under scorching fuchsia can dry. And yet it will have to be watered more often. In the shadow of the shoots are stretched, and the bloom is not as bright as it could be.
- Feeding - 1-2 times a month complex mineral fertilizers in liquid form.
- Welcome winter dormant period. I fuchsia resets itself leaves, leaving the couple. I crop the flower, and in this state, he waits patiently until the spring.
- Trimming, cropping and trimming again! This rule applies to ampelnyh, fuchsias and chrysanthemums.
At any time, any place ...
Fuchsia can decorate the house and garden. It grows very well on windowsills. But I noticed (the same opinion expressed and reader of our channel in the comments), it is best to grow and fuchsia blooms outdoors.
Florists-breeders brought different varieties. Enumerate their diversity is currently not washed. I just note that there are normal (growing bush) and hang-downing (hanging from the stems). The first can be formed shtamb (pictured above), and the second charming create cascades. Also I recommend that you read: How to increase the humidity of indoor plants (leaves will not dry)
