If there is a need to decorate your garden with a graceful climbing plant or green the balcony, then experienced gardeners will prefer a flower like azarina climbing. Growing it does not cause difficulties, and even beginner growers can do it. The effort will be rewarded with a beautiful curly vine decoration with velvety green leaves and tubular flowers of blue, white, purple, purple or pink.
Sunny places with well-drained soil - this is what azarin climbing prefers. Growing this plant is also possible in shaded areas, as excessive heat and direct sunlight can burn leaves. Stagnant water in the soil and waterlogging of the soil are undesirable for the flower. Azarina responds well to top dressing, so it is recommended to introduce humus, mineral fertilizers into the soil, which guarantee abundant flowering throughout the season.
Azarina climbing perfectly feels on neutral loamy soils. If it decorates a balcony or a gazebo, then you can immediately plant the plant in a pot. This is an annual flower grown from seeds, but some species can tolerate wintering in a greenhouse or other room with a temperature of at least 10 ° C. A two-year-old plant is sown in the ground in early summer.
Seeds are the main way that azarina climbing. Growing a plant involves sowing seeds in early spring in pots. The soil is prepared from sheet soil with compost, peat and humus. Seeds are only slightly pressed into the ground, but not sprinkled, in one pot there can be three or four. Azarina emerges slowly, but if after a month and a half the shoots did not appear, then they will no longer be. The optimum temperature for germination is 18 - 20 ° C.
Growing azarin is also possible with cuttings. To do this, you need healthy shoots of the overwintered plant. Weak and rotten ones are removed, and healthy cuttings are placed in a mixture of sand and peat or just in wet sand. Plants develop better indoors without drafts and on the sunny side: this way they take root faster.
Azarina grows very quickly, so as soon as the first real leaves appear, it needs to be transplanted into a separate pot with a twig, which is used as a support. Only after the last frost does Azarina climb up into the garden. Growing a plant implies a strong support at the main landing site. You can make a solid wire mesh and plant flowers near it. The distance between plants should be at least half a meter.
During the growth period, azarin needs to provide constant moisture, as well as top dressing. If you want to achieve tillering of the flower, you should pinch the shoots. The plant winters well on glazed loggias and balconies, at this time the shoots are very lengthened, so they can be used on cuttings. It is necessary to monitor the young flowers, as they are often attacked by aphids. To get rid of it, you can use the infusions of garlic, needles, tansy, onion husks. Sometimes the plant is damaged by the black leg, then you will have to get rid of the diseased shoots, and treat the rest with potassium permanganate.
