North America is considered the birthplace of the lion's flower. There the anterrinum (as the scientific name of the flower sounds) is a perennial plant and can calmly grow in one place from 3 to 5 years. This is due to the fact that the lion's pharynx is able to give seeds in the first year of his life. In view of this, if the gardener does not collect seeds, then they get enough sleep in the soil, safely wait for the optimal time for germination there, and again delight people with their beautiful look.

In our colder climate, anti -rinum has to be updated once every couple of years. Only in this way can you get a beautiful and abundantly flowering plant. If this is not done, then the flower begins to bloom less abundantly and develop worse. But for this it is necessary to plant certain varieties in the ground. We will now tell us about what varieties of lion's pharynx will feel great in our climatic zone.

Dwarf ( Tom Tumb, Floral, Hobit). This type of lion's pharynx is very often called indoor. And such a name has the right to exist. Since representatives of this species do not grow in height of more than 20 centimeters, they are often planted in pots, and grown on loggias or summer verandas. The bushes of this variety are very magnificent, abundantly strewn with flowers of white, burgundy or pink color.

Low  ("Crimson Velvet", "Shneneflock", "Crown"). These varieties are also very beautiful, though they bloom less abundantly than dwarf. They have almost a third of flowers on the bushes, but they are a little larger. The height of such plants does not exceed 40 centimeters.

Gemo -lifting ( "Wild Rose", "Defaine", "Red Chif"). High, but very compact plants no higher than 60 centimeters. They have a pronounced central escape. The inflorescences are large, they begin to bloom very early. The color of inflorescences can be different: white, pale pink, dark-bearded, and even yellow or lemon.

That is why very often flower growers plant these varieties for cutting.

Gigantic (« Rose "," Rocket "," Arthur "). As a rule, these varieties are not used to decorate personal plots. This is due to the fact that such plants are well developed by the apical shoots. And it is they who give large and beautiful flowers. These plants can grow up to 130 centimeters.

When to sow the seeds of the lion's pharynx for seedlings?

As practice shows, under favorable conditions, the seeds of lion's pharynx are in about 15 days. In some cases, this happens faster, and in some a little longer. This time period directly depends on the quality of the seeds. In view of this, a change for seedlings should be sown approximately 45 days before planting in open ground.

And this means that if you live in a region where spring comes early, then the seeds of the lion's pharyn is already necessary to sow at the very beginning of March. If you are fried in a region where spring occurs much later than necessary, then you can even do this in late March. True, in this case, you will have to create all the conditions for a faster germination of seeds. To do this, they will need to be covered with a film or glass and constantly keep at the same temperature ( at least+23).

Processing of lion's seeds before sowing: methods, description

Any gardener knows that it is desirable to prepare seeds for sowing. If this is not done, then at least they will skill out for a long time. The easiest way to prepare seeds is to soak them in a nutrient solution.

Lion pharynx seeds solutions:

• Disinfecting solution. Take 500 ml of boiled water, cool it to room temperature, and dissolve the potassium permanganate in it. You need to prepare a weak pink solution. If it is very dark, then you will simply burn the seeds, and they will become unsuitable for further use. Hold the seeds in the solution for about half an hour, and then dry, and you can sow in the soil.
• Nutritious. This solution will help you nourish seeds with useful substances before sowing. Thanks to this, they will become stronger and germinate much faster. So, take 2 matchboards of wood ash and pour it with hot water (500 ml). Let the liquids brew for 48 hours and you can use it for its intended purpose. Strain it, warm it slightly and soak in it the seeds of the lion's pharynx. Leave them in a solution of ash for 5-7 hours. After this time, take out, dry and drive into the ground.
• Stimulating growth. This method of preparing seeds for sowing will help you significantly accelerate their germination. To do this, take the most fleshy sheet of scarlet, cut it in half and lay it between the two parts of the seeds of the lion's pharynx. Leave the shift on the pulp for 2 hours, and then neatly remove them from there and be sure to dry (without preliminary washing)

But as practice shows, the longer the seeds are stored, the worse they grow and what is the most unpleasant, less beautifully bloom. In view of this, if you want to enjoy plentiful flowering for the longest possible, then sow in the soil of seeds that are no more than 2 years.

Another indicator that the change is unsuitable for sowing is an unpleasant smell of mold. If they were stored incorrectly, then when opening a container or paper bag you will definitely feel a barely perceptible smell.

If visually it seems that the change is good, but you have all doubts, then check the quality of the seeds in the grandfather’s way. To do this, pour warm, settled water into glass containers and lower the seeds into it, mix everything thoroughly and leave them in it for 10 minutes. All the seeds that during this time come up can be immediately thrown up as they definitely will not germinate.

What kind of soil to choose and how to prepare for sowing seeds of the lion's pharynx?

After you choose the right seeds, begin to cook the soil and sowing containers. As for the soil, in this case it is best to choose the most fertile with the minimum level of acidity. Ideally, it should be disinfected by black soil, or a mixture of peat, sand and garden soil.

If desired, you can buy ready -made soil in any specialized store. Sowing lion's pharynx in heavy, clay and very sour soils is not particularly desirable in the way you will get a weak seedlings that will require additional top dressing and processing. So, in order for the soil to be suitable for sowing seeds, it must be disinfected. To do this, it can be spilled with a hot solution of potassium permanganate or simply calcine it in the oven.

If you give preference to the last option, then after the pumping, be sure to pour the soil with a concentrated solution of ash. This will help restore the balance of nutrients. Properly prepared soil should be laid in plastic, glass or wooden containers, which were also previously disinfected.

How to sow lion's pharynx: methods, instructions

Now that we have figured out all the nuance, we can begin to sow the seeds of the lion's pharynx for seedlings.

Seed sowing in a standard way

• To begin with, scald with boiling water capacity, into which the seed will subsequently be sown
• While the container will dry, mix 2 parts of peat, 1 part of the garden soil and 1 part of the sand
• Put the resulting mixture in the container and slightly compact
• Previously, lay the drainage layer on the bottom of the container
• Pour the soil abundantly with warm water and wait for it to be completely absorbed
• Mix prepared seeds with sand and split on the top layer of soil
• Slightly compact the seeds and sprinkle them with a not very large layer of fertile soil
• Cover everything with glass and put in a warm sunny place
• Follow the container all the time and regularly remove the resulting condensate from the glass
• If you do everything right, then after two weeks you will take the first sprouts
• As soon as this happens, the glass must be removed and the soil is slightly moistened
• You can do this from a spray

Sowing seeds in peat pills

• Prepare the container in which you subsequently put peat pills
• Disinfect the seeds of the lion's pharynx and soak them in a solution of ash
• Soak the tablets with water and put in rows into the container
• Using a toothpick, transfer the seeds to the tablet
• Cover the container with peat tablets with a transparent film or glass
• Put everything in a warm and sunny place
• Water tablets as needed in the tray

How to grow seedlings of lion's pharynx: proper lighting, watering and temperature regime

Watering, temperature and lighting have a huge impact on seedlings. Therefore, literally immediately after sowing, you must ensure that all these indicators are normal.

So:

• Watering. As practice shows, they do not need the first week after sowing seeds in the soil in watering. But after this time, the soil moisture should be followed. As soon as you notice that the upper layer has become dry, be sure to water. So far, the seeds do not germinate to moisturize the soil best from the spray gun. This must be done every 3 days. When the sprouts are strong enough, watering can be carried out in a standard way.
• Lighting. After sowing, containers with sown seeds can be put on the windowsill. Direct sunlight will warm the soil well, and the change will germinate faster. But as soon as the sprouts are reached 3 millimeters in height, seedlings must be transferred to a place where direct sunlight will not fall on it, but at the same time it will be light enough in the daytime. The first three weeks after the germination of seedlings should be at least 16 hours in the light. In view of this, if the daylight hours are less, then be sure to take care of the reassignment of seedlings.
• Temperature. As for the temperature, then initially in the room in which the seedlings are worth it should hold at the mark of +23 degrees. After the seedlings germinate, temperature indicators are allowed to reduce to +18 degrees. At this temperature, the sprout should develop 15 days, and then you can start hardening. To do this, every day it is necessary to literally reduce the temperature in the room by half a degree. Gradually, it can be lowered to + 15 degrees. In the future, this will help the seedlings of the lion's pharynx to transfer temperature changes in open ground.

How and what to feed the seedlings of the lion's pharynx?

In principle, at the initial stage, the seedlings of the lion's pharyn can be fed literally once and use it for this solution of ash. To prepare it, it will be necessary to take 3 liters of defended water (not from the tap) and dissolve 200 g of wood ash in it. The solution must be allowed to stand for a couple of days and can be used for its intended purpose.

After planting in open ground, seedlings will require stronger top dressing. For example, it will be possible to add to the soil superphosphate, potassium sulfate, urea or nitrofosk. As a rule, for feeding young plants, 2 tbsp of the aforementioned agents per 10 liters of water is enough. It is advisable to feed seedlings 2 times. The first 7 days after the landing of young sprouts in the ground.

She will help them to take root better and stimulate more intense growth. Repeated top dressing must be carried out when there are 7 full -fledged pairs of leaves on the plant. It is needed so that the plant can bloom for a long and abundantly. Fertilization is applied exclusively in the soil. At this stage, foliar top dressing is not carried out.

How and when to dive the seedlings of the lion's pharynx?

You can dive of the seedlings of lion's pharynx only when four full leafs are visible on the stem. If you do this before, then the plant may die. As for the diving procedure itself, it is standard. Prepare the containers in which you will transplant the seedlings of the lion's pharynx in advance.

Fill them with disinfected soil and moisturize. Be sure to make a recess for seedlings in advance in advance and only then transfer it from the common container. In order for the root system of seedlings not to be damaged, initially moisturize the soil well, and then with a spatula or wooden spatula carefully remove the plant from the soil and transfer it to another container.

Distribute the root system in the new hole, sprinkle it with soil and slightly compact the upper layer. There is no need to touch seedlings for four days. After this time, it will be necessary to slightly moisturize the soil, and after another 3-4 days to feed the wood ash with a solution of wood.

Planting lion's pharynx in open ground: landing scheme, temperature regime

Before starting to plant the seedlings of the lion's pharynx in open ground, you must make sure that frosts are not planned and the night temperature will not fall below +10 degrees. Ideally, the temperature indicators when planting seedlings in open ground should not be lower +15 degrees at night and +22 degrees in the afternoon. In this case, the difference in temperature indicators will not be very large, and seedlings will be able to easily take root in a new place, and begin to develop intensively.

As for the landing scheme, you must remember that the higher the lion's pharynx will eventually be, the greater the distance should be between the plants. So, dwarf varieties can be planted at a distance 20 centimeters from each other, average 30 centimeters, and high - 40-50 centimeters.

How to care and how to feed the lion's pharynx after landing in open ground: tips

If you think that you need to carefully care for the seedlings of the lion's pharynx, then you are deeply mistaken. Even an adult plant requires attention.

Also, do not forget that high varieties of lion's pharynx need additional support. It is best provided in advance and installed even when the plant is just beginning to grow intensively. In this case, you can gradually tie it to the support, thereby creating a very beautiful flower wall. Well, of course, you need to regularly loosen the soil on the site with flowers and fight weeds. All this will contribute to the fact that the plant will grow beautiful and healthy.

The following fertilizers can be applied as top dressing:

• Effecton-t
• Nitrofosk
• Superphosphate
• Potassium sulfate
• Urea
• Mullein
• Ash

What is the lion's pharynx and how to prevent diseases?

And finally, we want to introduce you to possible diseases of the lion's pharynx and methods of combating them.

So:

• Blackleg. As a rule, it affects seedlings. It appears due to excessive watering and low temperature indicators. It manifests itself with the appearance on the stem of a dark deformed place, just above the ground level. Can help get rid of the problem hom. It is advisable to use it according to the instructions described on the packaging.
• Fusariosis. The plant ceases to bloom, turns yellow, and then the decay of the stem begins. In order for the disease to prevent all flowers on the site, sore plants must be pulled out and burned. Healthy are processed Qineb or foundationazole.
• Rust. Adult plants are more susceptible to this disease. Initially, brown pustules are formed on the leaves and stem of flowers, which without modern processing begin to grow, affecting more and more areas. If you miss the right moment, the plant will begin to dry and die. Stop the spread of the disease will help processing the colors of the lion's pharynx bordeaux liquid or copper chloros.
