Important about planting and caring for outdoor action

Deytsia is a perennial woody evergreen plant. His homeland is East Asia. Many types of shrubs can be found there.

An exotic plant appeared in Russian gardens not so long ago. The shrub was brought to Russia in the 19th century.

Description

Deytsia is an evergreen plant. There are bushes of erect form, as well as spreading. Their height can reach 4 m. It all depends on the species. When properly seated and cared for outdoors, action can last up to 25 years.

In spring, the shrub will delight the eyes with greenery, but a truly breathtaking view will open when the bush blooms. Openwork flowers with tassels of inflorescences densely cover the entire bush. Gardeners appreciate the plant precisely for its saturation with flowers, which gives the impression of white foam on the bush. There are pink or white flowers. There is no smell.

Landing

Effective landing action will be only if it was carried out according to all the rules. The following components can be distinguished here:

• a place;
• priming;
• landing algorithm.

Choosing a landing site

Before planting and thinking about caring for the action in the open field, you should find a place for it. This is a light-loving shrub, but direct sunlight will negatively affect it, as well as drafts. The southern or western slope is perfect for planting.

Therefore, when choosing a place for action, it is best to stay at a short distance from the tree, about 2 m. There should be no trees or buildings nearby.

The following requirements exist for the soil. Best of all, an exotic bush will grow in the ground:

• nutritious;
• moderately moist;
• loose;
• drained;
• with a slightly alkaline reaction.

When self-preparing the soil, you should take 2 parts of humus, the same amount of sand and 1 part of peat compost. With an increased acid reaction of the soil, 300 g of slaked lime should be added before planting in the ground.

We plant a bush in open ground

Those who plant action in open ground for the first time do not know when to do it. So, it is best to plant in spring. Then there is a lot of time before frost and the seedling will have time to get stronger. But as for the Moscow region, planting in open ground and caring for the action has its own characteristics. You should choose according to the weather. The time will come when the ground will thaw, but the buds have not yet blossomed on the trees.

Since the Urals have severe winters, any variety for planting in this region will not work. To grow an exotic bush, residents of this area should select winter-hardy varieties. Hybrids that are characterized by increased winter hardiness are also suitable.

Action will grow and develop better if, after planting, the shoots are cut to 4-5 buds.

We sit down, adhering to the following algorithm:

1. We prepare a pit, the depth of which should be 50 cm.
2. We spread the drainage layer.
3. Pour a little on the prepared soil drainage, adding 100 g of nitrophoska.
4. We omit the root. In this case, the root collar should remain on the surface.
5. We fall asleep with earth, it must be tamped, the soil mixture should be moistened.
6. Around the seedling, the site should be mulched. The earth is covered peat 4-5 cm.

Care

When the action is already planted, one should not forget about caring for the young plant throughout the year, and for the winter it will need to be sheltered from the cold.Only then will the bush please in early spring with lush greenery, and then with thick flowers that will cover the branches.

Watering, fertilizing

In fact, planting and caring for action in the open field is not fraught with anything complicated. The earth should be moderately moist. During the hot season, a bucket of water once a week will suffice. After each moistening, the soil must be loosened, weeds removed. At the end of summer, namely the second part of August, this plant does not require glaze.

Fertilize the bush once a month with liquid manure. 3 liters is diluted in water. This amount is enough to fertilize one bush.

It will be nice if complex mineral fertilizers are applied. They are used a couple of times a season up to 150 g under a bush.

Action responds well to feeding both mineral and organic... But such procedures should be carried out exclusively during the flowering period.

Pruning

When growing action, pruning is an important point of care. It is held twice a year: in spring and autumn.

In spring, when pruning, branches are removed that are damaged or that have not normally overwintered. If only the root system has survived the winter, the plant is cut off on the ground, leaving small hemp.

In autumn, at the end of flowering, a second pruning is carried out. First of all, you should remove the branches on which there were flowers. They are shortened to the first bud. At the same time, old branches are also cut off and the shape of the plant is refined.

Preparing a bush for wintering

It is necessary to prepare action for wintering in any region of Russia. So the cultivation of action in the Leningrad region, as well as planting and care, is slightly different from other regions of Russia. Winters here are characterized by a small amount of snow. It is enough to simply bend the branches, cover them with spruce branches, but it is necessary to regularly throw snow on the bushes.

The branches of the bushes, which have been growing on the site for several years, are not so flexible, but still require shelter. They will need to be pulled together and covered with airtight material, which will help keep the buds in good condition until spring and endure frosts up to 30 degrees.

In Siberia and the Urals, where the climate is colder, it is quite possible to grow action. If we are talking about a young bush, then the branches are bent to the ground, they are covered with leaves from above, then with spunbond and film. A layered shelter will keep moisture away, which is very important for preserving the kidneys.

A light shelter will be enough for them, and the bushes will be able to survive the winter normally, and in the spring they will please with their flowering.

When the plant blooms

It is difficult to compare with anything the spectacle when the action blooms in the open field. The flowering period depends on the variety, the duration depends on the care. The earliest flowering of some varieties is possible in mid-May. The rest are mostly happy in June-July.

So, planting and caring for the action in the open field is not fraught with anything complicated. This plant is undemanding to soil, will grow wherever water does not stagnate. Deitia, not crowded by other plants, is abundantly covered with flowers, and grows well in partial shade.

As you can see, a little care and love for plants is required from us, and in return - an incredibly beautiful exotic bush, which is hard to compare with anything.
