Methods for Impatiens breeding. Investigated together

Impatiens - small room shrub, known for many decades. When properly pruned Impatiens forms a beautiful thick crown and a plurality of bright inflorescences.

flower color can be white, pink, red. Impatiens is the second title "Vanka wet", as in the wet leaf on moisture droplets are formed.

Propagated plants in two main ways: growing from seed and cuttings. Let's understand what is a better way.

Growing from seed

For the successful cultivation of balsam we need:

· Seeds liked variety.

· Capacity for germination.

· Easy substrate saturated with useful elements.

· Glass film or the container closure.

When buying seeds should carefully check the expiration dates, as well as to define: annual or perennial cultivar purchase.

Before planting, the soil is necessary to fill a container without taking the upper edge of 2 cm. Seeds shed fitosporin or other disinfecting composition.

The seeds are not deepened, but simply laid on the surface, lightly pressing down with a toothpick or other similar object.

soil surface is sprayed with a spray gun and the container is tightened film. The container is removed in a warm bright place.

When the seedlings reach a height of 2 cm, they can dive into separate cups. After the formation of a small bush, the plant is transplanted to a permanent place in the pot or pot.

propagation by cuttings

This is a quick and easy way. Propagated plant can tip or lateral shoots.

Cuttings takes place as follows:

· Qualitative escape is cut with a sharp knife or blade. The handle must be not less than 2 and the interstices should be of buds or flowers.

· Then stalk placed in water or soil to form roots.

· If balsam root in water, the roots will be in a week. Then it can be planted for permanent growth.

· When the balsam is already put in the pot, in the first week it is possible to cover a can or package, to create the effect of "Teplička".

The first method of reproduction is good when you want to grow a new variety or nowhere to take cuttings.

The second method is useful when you want to propagate the plant, while retaining all the varietal and specific characters.

The first way to breeding long time, and is suitable for more experienced growers.
