Planting Holly Trees-A Careful Endeavor

Hollies zal groeien in de volle zon of gedeeltelijke schaduw, maar spichtig in dichte schaduw zal worden. In winderige gebieden moeten hollies worden geplant in beschutte locaties. Zorgvuldig locatie ook vanuit het oogpunt van ruimte. Ze groeien langzaam, en hoewel ze klein zijn op het eerste, ze uiteindelijk brede specimens. Aangezien zij op dezelfde locatie voor vele jaren die zij profiteren door grondige bodem voorbereiding blijven zullen zullen. Zware klei bodem kan worden verbeterd door de toevoeging van zand en twee tot drie bushels van blad schimmel of veenmos, voor planten drie tot vier meter hoog. Kleine hollies zal niet nodig zo veel humus onmiddellijk; meer kan worden gewerkt in de bodem als de planten groeien.

Ingegoten of ingeblikte hollies kunnen worden geplant op elk gewenst moment tijdens het groeiseizoen. Kluit en overlapping planten transplantatie beste bur in maart en April, net voordat de nieuwe groei begint, en opnieuw in de late zomer en herfst. Voorzichtige behandeling in de aanplant operatie is absoluut noodzakelijk. Een gebroken root bal kan ruïneren de plant. Op het moment van planten, moet een depressie worden overgelaten rond elke plant. Dit moet worden gevuld met water na het planten en herhaald wanneer de bodem droog tijdens het eerste jaar wordt.

Mulch elke plant met eikenbladeren, veenmos gemengd met oude mest, hout chips of zaagsel - voor behoud van vocht en bescherming van de wortels tegen snelle veranderingen van temperatuur. Een commerciële hoog in stikstof kunstmest moet worden verspreid over de hollies voordat houtsnippers of zaagsel worden toegepast. Dit verhindert de uitputting van stikstof uit de bodem in de oorspronkelijke verdeling van de chips en zaagsel. Hollies zullen profiteren van een voeding elke februari of maart, als commerciële meststoffen worden gebruikt - of later wanneer groei is actief, als de vloeistof levensmiddelen plant worden gebruikt. Een tuinman is gelukkig als hij een jaarlijkse dressing van oud mest die kan worden aangevuld met katoen zaad maaltijd kunt toepassen.

Hollies moeten worden gevormd in hun vroege jaren. Lange, onhandig scheuten, moeten worden weggehaald; Dit werk is best gedaan in maart vóór aanvang van de groei. Vinnig terug de tips van veel van de takken zal veroorzaken ze uit te zenden zij takken te vullen in de hoofdtekst van de plant. Als een plant dun in de buurt van de bovenkant is en een logge leider heeft gesmeed vooruit, kan het uiterlijk van de plant worden geholpen door koppelverkoop van een of twee zij-takken in een verticale positie in te vullen rond de leider. En voor de reiniging van de grond, is het nuttig te gebruiken gas aangedreven bladblazers.

Wanneer hollies ouder groeien beginnen ze meestal suckering aan de basis. Als sommige van deze sukkels zijn overgelaten aan het groeien, zal een bushier plant resulteren.

Protection of plants for the Winter starts now

Winter in woody and herbaceous perennials injury can be caused by a number of things. A factor is that many of the plants in the winter in a "green" or immature State. This is caused when too much moisture plants during the late part of the season. If it is due to too much rain, not much can be done about it, but if artificial watering is practiced, it should be reduced when this season. It is therefore good advice not to overwater perennials too much in this time of year, so that maturity is encouraged.

This also applies to deciduous shrubs and trees, and evergreens. Drier captures during the fall the certain chemical changes in the plant so that they better be willing to cold weather when winter set. This does not mean that the plants need to go in the winter in a very dry condition. At about the time action light Frost, a thorough watering of all perennials will help to put them in a better condition for winter survival.

Fall is a good planting season for many herbaceous perennials and a must for the planting of Spring Flower bulbs. In the area West is doubtful for Fall planting a large number of our deciduous shrubs and trees. If val plants is done, it must be started as soon as the plants exhibit signs of dormancy. Unless the task is urgent, the average gardener best to wait until spring to do most of its tree and shrub plantings. Survival is probably much better. Successful fall planting hangs a long fall season, so plants can be a good root system for winter sets in.

A number of perennial plants can be divided and transplanted in this time of year. Peonies, Oriental Poppies, bleeding hearts, asparagus and rhubarb are such plants that benefit will of Val transplantation aside from maize plants, especially if the lumps become overcrowded, overgrown or weed-ridden. Normally, they do. not often need to share unless such conditions exist.

Although irises are best transplanted around midsummer, this can work to be done in the fall. Shasta daisies can also be divided and at this time of year again.

Pumping Iron-plants needed to

Iron is necessary for plant nutrition. It plays an important role in the synthesis of carbohydrates in the plants. When iron in the soil for plant nutrition is missing, the leaves begin to yellow. In extreme cases show the leaves no green color. This is a major problem in many parts of this region.

Plants particularly sensitive to iron chlorosis, such as the condition is called, members of the rose or apple family including raspberries, strawberries, plums, apples, roses, mountain ash and a host of other plants. The problem in this region is not so much a lack of iron, for most soils in the West are richly equipped with iron, but a question of availability. The large amounts of calcium (or lime) in many Western bases, and other factors, serve to bind the iron in a form not available so that plants can use.

Scientists have worked a long time to resolve the issue. Suggestions on correcting iron chlorosis in fruits, the trees and plants have ranged from treatment of the soil with acid reacting chemicals to help reduce the alkalinity, deliver large amounts of iron in a form that the plant (such as iron sulphate can use), and maintaining a high content of organic in the soil. All these have some success in the control of iron chlorosis or lime-induced chlorosis.

In recent years some new organic chemicals with unusual chemical properties entered and used for home plants care. They are known as chelated compounds, and are sometimes called Sequestrenes. Some of these contain iron in a form that easily makes use of the plant. Special formulations are drawn up by the manufacturers for alkaline soils. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer in the use of these chemicals in correcting for ferric chlorosis. Used properly, they are very successful.

Growers deliver often chelated iron to create liquid fertilizer applications to container grown plants, plants in the garden and also trees, plants and palm trees in the landscape.

Southern Roses-create a planting date

Lilies are making their appearance in Garden Center stores in increasing numbers in October. The southern tribes of Easter lilies are now ready for planting. These are hardy in southern gardens and produce large quantities of pure white blooms every spring. Plant them 6 to 8 inches deep in rich, well-drained soil.

Don't forget the beautiful new hybrids. They grow beautifully in our garden and can be had in almost every shade and tone of white, yellow, Orange, pink and red. You can use lilies in bloom from April to August, by the appropriate selection of breeds: Madonna and the other new hybrids, April and may; regales and tigers, June; rubrums and auratums, July; and formosanums, August.

Peonies can be planted in the upper South alone. They are too far from their natural range to be grown with success under Atlanta, Birmingham and Greenwood. Plants in a rich soil which well rotted manure is added. Not plant the Crown or eyes more than 1-1/2 cm below the level of the soil. They will not thrive if you do.

Sweet peas can be planted in the lower South. November is better for the middle and upper South but soils can now be prepared in all sections. Use a trench 6 or 8 cm deep and put a few centimetres of well rotted manure in the soil. Place over the manure, 2 or 3 inches of well prepared garden soil. Do not fill the trough at ground level only later. Then, as the new plants develop, gradually pull in the remainder of the soil to ground level filled. Early varieties must be planted.

Roses appear in stores this month but it is too early to plants. Wait until November or December. Too early a planting caused soft growth that is killed by freezing weather. Instead, use this time to prepare the soil well.

Tender house plants need to be brought inside before cold night temperatures. Sudden temperature fluctuations cause considerable problems.

Fall lawn planting continues through October. Sow for a rye grass lawns embryo transfers on Bermuda at the rate of £ 5 for every 1000 square meters. Double the rate for straight rye grass plantings. In both cases, 100 pounds of pulverized sheep manure or other organic food and 30 to 40 pounds for 6-10-4, 5-10-5 or 6-8-6 per 1000 square meters. Newly installed lawns well watered at all times to insure good germination. Aerate lawns to improve old growth.

Repot plants-a promotion for growth

Indoor vines are usually grown in pots, in hanging baskets, or in built-in planters or similar gardens. In each case they are supplied with suitable soil - which, by the way, should be neither wet nor dry, but just moist at planting time - and replanted or repotted only when their roots are crowded or the soil nutrients are exhausted.

There are times when repotting is called for, and times when it is not. When roots are practically bursting out of a pot or basket - or crowding roots of other plants in mixed gardens - they should be promoted to a slightly larger container, but not one several sizes too large. Overpotting is a popular way of killing plants with kindness. In an oversupply of soil, excess water keeps air away from roots, and they may rot.

When you think a plant may need repotting, tap it out of its pot and see whether the roots have surrounded the ball of soil. If they have not, replace the plant and refresh some of the soil on top with a new layer. Always level off soil at least a half inch below the pot rim, so there is a reservoir to hold water until it seeps down through the pot.

Pots and Containers

Although the aesthetic appeal of plant containers sometimes seems to clash with practical and cultural utility, there should really be no conflict. Pots - mostly porous clay or plastic, in varying sizes and proportions - are made for plants to grow in. Decorative containers. - metal, ceramic, and the like - are designed primarily for decoration. To protect furniture surfaces, most do not have drainage holes in the bottom.

Unless you are infallible in watering, just like pothos plant care it is dangerous to put plant roots and soil directly into these containers. Rather, keep the plant in its pot and set it inside the container. Then, over watering is corrected simply by lifting out the pot and emptying the container of excess water. If the container is large enough, you can also help increase humidity with a layer of pebbles or moist peat in the bottom. This is sound practice even for small, table-top containers.

Porous clay pots are probably safest for use inside decorative containers, because they allow more air to reach plant roots. Plastic pots, on the other hand, are attractive, clean, and light, and require less frequent watering. Either type should be of a size and depth in suitable proportion to the plant - neither so small that the plant looks grotesquely large, nor so large that the plant seems lost. No pot of any kind should be planted unless it is thoroughly clean.

Stable temperatures Sturdy plants grow

Hyacinths, Paper White narcissus, and the prepared such as the reds can be started any time now. The first two do well in plain water but I think the easier method is to plant them in bowls filled with fine gravel. The bowls should be kept filled with water almost up to the bulbs and should be kept in the dark for several weeks-or until there are two inches or growth. After that place them in full sunlight until they bloom. The regular narcissus do best in soil.

Greenhouse Temperatures must be kept steady. Fluctuating temperatures make weak plants and encourage disease. Carnations and most annuals do best with a 50-degree night temperature. Poinsettias are, some orchids and plants from tropical climates prefer a 60-degree night temperature. Day temperatures should be 10 degrees higher than night ones as a rule. In cool weather use only the top fans and on very cold or windy days ventilate from the sheltered side only. Cross drafts cause trouble.

Bench Crop-Stocks, Snap dragons, leptosyne and winter flowering pansies or your favorite annuals can follow benched chrysanthemums right in the same soil. However, if the bench space is to be used for pot plants remove the soil and put in 1-1/2 "or gravel or cinders. It helps prevent plugging of the drainage holes in the pots. Or if you have a coldframe which you are using as a feeder for the greenhouse, it is time now to get the plants out of it and indoors to the empty benches. It is a best way in caring for a croton plant.

(A) supply or soil indoors for winter use in the greenhouse is a must. You'd find it no easy task to break off a chunk of soil that is frozen solid about next February when you need it for repotting or starting seeds. Also, bring in sand, leaves, humus and manure to be ready for use when they are needed.
