December - the last chance to sow Aust (to bloomed in the summer rather than the autumn)
I get angry when I read some negative reviews about a handwritten growing eustomy. Most of the complaints is to ensure that bloom beauty only to fall. And even worse - buds pick up only in September and did not have time to dissolve them.
It is not eustoma - such a complex plant, which can not be forced to bloom in the garden of the average Russian. With the right approach is to successfully dissolve their roses from July to September inclusive.
If you ask gardeners leaving negative reviews about Aust, then everything falls into place. The answer lies on the surface. For example, recently one woman wrote:
I planted it sooner, along with petunias! At the end of February.
Knowing the vegetation period eustomy aspiring to a record, the answer is obvious: it is very, very late. If gardeners advance collected all information about the flower and characteristics of growing, then slander eustomy would be less.
BUT term vegetation srezochnyh grades eustomy - on average, 8 months. It is easy to calculate that for the beginning of flowering in July, the seeds are sown in late November-early December. As well as easy to understand that a late sowing due to ignorance lead to disappointment.
It should be noted that the seedlings grow eustomy without supplementary lighting at least until March - bad job. The lack of light inhibits growth. In the worst case, the seedlings are killed, at best - again, discard timing of flowering.
I know a woman from the Altai region, which sows Aust at the end of September. Laughs that grows flower all year round. Takes up the crop, while the remains of the year still adorn the garden.
Did not make it? Do not worry: buy eustomy dwarf varieties, they are also labeled as potted. Their term of vegetation is much less - only six months. So what else have time 🙂
