Bubble: planting and care
Shrub planting
If you have a burning desire to grow a vesicle from seeds, the experiment may not succeed, because you may not get the original color of the leaves. The easiest way to buy shrubs in garden centers or nurseries. There you will buy a healthy plant with a closed root system (in a container). You can plant such bushes in the summer, and in the fall, and in the spring - when it is convenient for you. What does the vesicle look like? The photos presented in the article will tell you about this.
In order to plant a shrub, you need to dig a hole about 50x50 cm, humus or garden peat soil will need to be added to the bottom. Take the container and put it in the pit, see if there will be enough depth with the expectation that the growth point will need to be deepened by 5 centimeters - this will give the plant the opportunity to start additional shoots. After the “fitting”, the bush must be carefully removed from the container and put in the prepared pit, covered with earth.
Do not forget to water well. As soon as the water is absorbed, sprinkle the trunk circle with dry earth (mulch).
On what soil will the vesicle grow well? Planting and caring for this plant will not bother you. The shrub is tolerant to the composition of the soil. Naturally, on fertile and loose soil, he will feel much better. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that the shrub does not like calcareous soil.
Shrub care
What does the vesicle love? Planting and caring for it are quite simple, because the plant is completely unpretentious, although some nuances exist. The shrub lives about 15-20 years and is developing rapidly. Under favorable conditions, in one year, the vesicle can add half a meter both in height and in width. Therefore, caring for the shrub consists in pruning it, which it tolerates. Pruning a plant needs not only sanitary, but also formative.
Sanitary needs to be carried out in the spring and it consists of trimming broken twigs over the winter and frozen branches. Shaping, as you know, is needed for an aesthetic look. It is carried out in the spring, before the buds open, or in the fall.
How to water the vesicle? Planting and care include watering. Having lowered the plant into the ground, it must immediately be watered. How often you do this later will depend on the weather, soil and season. The plant does not like excessive overmoistening, this leads to the fact that the vesicle is easily infected with powdery mildew and can die. So you need to water it sparingly. Infection can be avoided thanks to drainage, which must be taken care of before planting the bush. In an arid summer, water abundantly, but not often.
And do not forget to feed the vesicle. This will need to be done in early spring with fertilizers that contain nitrogen, and in the fall with mineral fertilizers. Take care of the plant, and it will delight you for many years with its well-groomed appearance!
