Красавец бальзамин новогвинейский – правильный уход для круглогодичного цветения

Ванька мокрый украшал подоконники еще наших прабабушек. Мало кто из них понимал, что выращивает дома бальзамин. У нынешних цветоводов знаний намного больше. Они стали требовательнее в подборе комнатных цветов и стараются завести экзотов. Не так давно среди них появилось новое комнатное растение – бальзамин новогвинейский.

Описание цветка Бальзамин новогвинейский

Семейство бальзаминовых – обширное, оно состоит из двух родов и более пятисот видов. Чаще всего в природе они растут в тропиках, есть и обитатели умеренных широт. Но у бальзамина новогвинейского (Impatiens Cultivarus Neuguinea) нет своего ареала. Это растение – продукт селекции нескольких видов с растущим в тропиках бальзамином Impatiens hawker. У своих родителей гибрид взял лучшие признаки и стал еще привлекательнее:

• крупные – до 6 см в диаметре цветы с характерной длинной изогнутой шпорой в нижней части, они располагаются в пазухах листьев по одному или пучком;
• разнообразную окраску, есть и биколоры;
• мощный, но ломкий стебель, высота которого – в пределах 30-60 см, в его окраске присутствуют бордовые оттенки;
• декоративные длинные темно-зеленые, а иногда и многоцветные листья, собранные в мутовку с коротким черешком, острой вершиной и зубчатыми краями, на них хорошо видны «утопленные» жилки;
• остались неизменными только семенные коробочки, растрескивающиеся при малейшем прикосновении, за это бальзамин получил имя «недотрога».

Поначалу выведенные растения размножались только черенками, затем удалось получить семена гетерозисных гибридов, повторяющие родительские признаки. Они л

If you want to give it a try, I’ve got you covered. In this post, I’ll talk about the different banana propagation methods, and show you exactly how to propagate banana plants step-by-step.90003 90002 90007 90008 90009 90003 90002 I have two banana plants in my collection that I’ve had for several years. Both of them have sprouted pups (also known as babies or suckers) over the past few years. 90003 90002 This summer, I noticed they both had a few pups that were ready to be removed from the mother plants. Now that the pups are mature, it’s time to get busy propagating my banana! 90003 90002 Propagating banana plants is pretty easy, and you can follow these steps whether yours is growing in a pot or in the ground.Though I will warn you, it’s a bit of work dividing plants that are in the ground, so be ready to sweat a little. 90003 90017 Banana Propagation Methods 90018 90002 There are a few different banana propagation methods: by division (aka: vegetative propagation), tissue culture, or even growing them from seed in some cases. 90003 90002 Most types of bananas are sterile though, and do not produce seeds. Tissue culture propagation is pretty technical and requires special equipment found in a laboratory.Those two methods are complex, I’d rather stick to the easy way. 90003 90002 So, in this post, I’m only going to talk about dividing banana plants, which is by far the easiest way to propagate bananas. 90003 90025 90002 My banana plant before propagating 90003 90017 What Is A Banana Pup? 90018 90002 New banana plants develop from the base of the plant, and those are called banana pups. They are also commonly referred to as «suckers» or «babies». Mature banana pups can be removed and planted to grow new plants.90003 90002 If you want to try to propagate your banana plant by division, the first thing you’ll want to do is make sure the pup you’re planning to remove is mature enough to grow on it’s own. That means, the pup should have it’s own roots. 90003 90002 To check the pups root development, gently remove the plant from it’s pot, or dig down far enough to expose the roots. Then brush back the soil around the base of the pup to see if it has developed it’s own roots. 90003 90036 90002 This banana pup has roots 90003 90002 If the pup does not have any roots then it’s not ready to be removed, and will not survive on it’s own.So cover the roots back up and give the pup more time to grow. If it does have roots, then follow the steps below to remove it. 90003 90017 When To Divide Banana Plants 90018 90002 The best time to divide banana plants is in the spring or fall. But there’s no requirement that says the pups must be removed from the plant, mine was growing just fine with all those suckers. 90003 90002 But my plant is extremely pot-bound and I did not want to repot it into a larger pot, it’s big enough already. Plus I have a few friends that would love to have a banana plant of their own.So that’s why I decided to remove a few pups from each plant. 90003 90047 90002 Banana pups ready to propagate 90003 90017 How To Propagate Banana Plants 90018 90002 Before you can propagate bananas, you’ll need to collect a few supplies. Do not worry, you will not need a bunch of expensive equipment for this method of banana propagation — and I bet you already have most of this stuff on hand. 90003 90002 90055 Propagation Supplies Needed: 90056 90003 90002 One thing to note before starting is that your banana pup is going to go through some trauma here, and you want to take steps to reduce the amount of transplant shock.90003 90002 So, have the new container ready to go and partially filled with soil, or dig the hole in your garden before removing the pup. That way you can get your new baby banana tree planted as quickly as possible after removing it. 90003 90017 Dividing Banana Plants Step-by-Step 90018 90002 90055 Step 1: Loosen the rootball — 90056 This task will be much easier if your banana is growing in a pot like mine. Simply slide the entire plant out of the pot first. 90003 90002 Then gently tease apart the roots of the pup and mother plant, working to free as many of the pups roots as possible.Try not to break any of the pups roots in the process (have patience, this may be a difficult task and take some time). 90003 90002 90055 Step 2: Cut the pup from the main plant — 90056 Once you find the spot where the pup is attached to the main plant, use a sharp, sterile pair of clippers or a knife to cut the connection. Again, try not to cut off any of the pups roots, just sever the connection to the main plant if possible. 90003 90074 90002 Cut banana pup from main plant 90003 90002 90055 Step 3: Free the pups roots — 90056 Once you’ve severed the connection to the mother plant, continue to tease the banana plant roots, gently pulling the pup away from the main rootball until it’s free.90003 90002 Removing the pup sounds like it would be super easy, but for a well established banana plant it will take some effort. Just be patient and take your time. After you’re done removing the pup, put the mother plant back into it’s pot, or repot it into a new one if you want. 90003 90083 90002 Banana sucker removed and ready to pot up 90003 90017 Potting Up Your Baby Banana Plant 90018 90002 Now that you have successfully removed the pup, you can pot it up into it’s own container. Banana plants are not picky about the their soil, but they do prefer a rich, organic and fast draining soil mix.You can use general potting soil with some perlite or pumice mixed in for extra drainage. 90003 90090 90002 Potting up new baby banana plant 90003 90002 Plant the baby banana in it’s new pot at the same depth it was in the old pot, taking care to cover all the roots as you fill the container with soil. Once you’ve filled the pot with soil, give your new banana plant a good drink of water. 90003 90002 Your new banana plant might droop for a few days until it gets used to living on it’s own, that is normal transplant shock.To help it through the shock, it’s a good idea to keep it out of full sun and make sure it’s well watered until it has perked back up again. 90003 90002 That’s it, now you have a new banana plant to share with a friend (are not they lucky !?). Banana propagation by division can take some work, but it’s by far the easiest way to propagate banana plants. Just remember to take your time with it, and have patience. 90003 90002 90100 90003 90002 Are you interested to learn more about how to propagate all of your favorite plants?

In this post, I’ll talk about different plumeria propagation methods, show you when and how to take plumeria cuttings, and then show you how to grow plumeria from a cutting, step-by-step.90003 90002 90007 90008 90009 90003 90002 Plumerias (aka frangipani plant or Hawaiian lei tree) are beautiful tropical plants. They grow to be large trees in warm climates like Hawaii, and are popular for their fragrant flowers (which are used to make leis). 90003 90002 I brought home my first plumeria cuttings from Hawaii several years ago, and have propagated my plumerias several times over since then. It’s fun and easy! 90003 90002 90016 Here’s what you’ll find in this guide for propagating plumeria cuttings … 90017 90003 90019 Plumeria Propagation Methods 90020 90002 There are two main plumeria propagation methods you can use for growing new plants — from seed or by rooting plant cuttings.90003 90002 In this article, I will show you how to grow plumeria from cuttings. I’ll save the seed starting for a future post. 90003 90002 I know it sounds scary, but growing plumeria from cuttings is actually pretty easy. First, let’s talk about when is the best time to try it. 90003 90019 When To Take Plumeria Cuttings 90020 90002 The best time to take cuttings for plumeria propagation is during their active growing season, which is in the spring and summer. 90003 90002 Summer is the easiest time of the year to root them too, especially when it’s warm and humid outside.90003 90002 If you take cuttings too late in the summer, or in the fall as the plant is starting to go dormant for the winter, then they probably will not take root. 90003 90035 Rooting Plumeria Cuttings In Winter 90036 90002 Plumerias go dormant during the winter, so if cuttings were taken too late they will likely stay dormant and will not grow roots. However, if you store them correctly, you can overwinter them, and root them in the spring. 90003 90002 Just leave the cutting in the pot, and keep the soil completely dry all winter long.You can mist it with water every once in a while if you want, but do not overdo it. 90003 90002 Then in early spring, give it a good drink of water, and follow the plumeria cuttings care instructions below for growing them. 90003 90019 How To Cut Plumerias For Propagating 90020 90002 There are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind when cutting plumeria stems for rooting (and for pruning plumeria plants too). 90003 90002 It does not make a difference where you cut the stem, so it’s just a matter of how long you want to make your cuttings.90003 90002 But you do want to be sure to use a sharp pair of pruners, and always sterilize them so you get a nice clean cut. 90003 90002 Also, plumerias are very prone to tip rot, so it’s important to always make your cuts at a downward angle so that water can not settle into the wound. 90003 90053 90002 Taking plumeria cuttings for propagation 90003 90019 How To Grow Plumeria From Cuttings 90020 90002 Before you get too excited and stick your plumeria cutting directly into the dirt, there are a few steps you’ll need to take to prepare it for the best chance of success.90003 90002 First, remove the leaves from the cutting. This will allow it to put all of its energy into growing new roots, rather than supporting the leaves. 90003 90002 Second, be sure to allow the wound to cure (dry out) before you attempt to root it. This step is super important, so do not skip it, otherwise your plumeria cutting will likely rot instead of growing new roots. 90003 90002 Let it sit in a dry place until the wound is completely cured. This can take several days to over a week, so be patient, and do not rush it.90003 90066 90002 Plumeria cutting cured and ready to propagate 90003 90035 Rooting Plumeria Cuttings In Water 90036 90002 A common question I get asked is «can I root my plumeria in water?». The short answer is yes. However, rooting them in water is not always a huge success. Many times, the stems will only rot when placed in water. 90003 90002 If you have plenty of cuttings to work with, then by all means experiment with this method! My preferred plumeria propagation method however is rooting them in soil.So, I’ll stick to that for now. 90003 90035 How To Root Plumeria Cuttings In Soil 90036 90002 When planting a plumeria cutting, it’s very important that you always use a clean pot to avoid any type of contamination. 90003 90002 Also, make sure you do not use a huge pot for planting plumeria cuttings, otherwise you risk overwatering which will only cause it to rot. 90003 90002 I use 4 «pots for rooting most of mine, and once in a while I might go up to a 6» pot if I’m rooting a larger stems. 90003 90002 90016 Supplies Needed: 90017 90003 90002 90016 Here are the steps for how to start a plumeria cutting in soil … 90017 90003 90002 90016 Step 1: Dust the cut end with rooting hormone — 90017 Rooting hormone will help plumeria cuttings grow roots, and also speed up root formation.90003 90002 You can try rooting your cuttings without it, but I find that I have more success with plumeria propagation when I use it. 90003 90097 90002 Dip plumeria cutting into rooting hormone 90003 90002 90016 Step 2: Make a hole in the dirt — 90017 Use your finger or a pencil to make a hole in the soil where the cutting will go. 90003 90002 If you did not dust the end with rooting hormone in step 1, then you do not have to worry about this step. But making a hole in the soil first will keep the rooting hormone from rubbing off when you stick the cutting into the soil.90003 90002 90016 Step 3: Put cutting into the soil — 90017 Put the cut end into the hole you made, and then pack the soil down around the base of the stem. 90003 90002 You want to make sure the soil comes into contact with the cutting, and that it will stay in place. The roots will grow out of the bottom of the stem, so you do not have to plant it very deep. Just deep enough so it will stand up on its own. 90003 90112 90002 Rooting plumeria cuttings in soil 90003 90002 90016 Step 4: Wet the soil — 90017 Give the soil a good drink, until water starts coming out of the drainage holes.90003 90002 Allow the water to drain completely from the pot, and never allow it to sit in a tray of water. Then place your cutting in a protected, humid location, and wait for the roots to grow. 90003 90019 How To Care For Plumeria Cuttings 90020 90002 To encourage roots to grow, be sure to keep the air around your plumeria cutting humid, but the soil on the dry side. If you live in a humid climate like I do, you do not need to do anything. 90003 90002 Simply leave it outside in the heat and humidity, and soon it will start to grow.Just be sure to keep it out of the sun until then. 90003 90002 But, if you live somewhere dry, or you’re trying to root the plumeria plant cutting indoors, then it’s a good idea to mist it every couple of days with a plant sprayer to keep the humidity level high. 90003 90002 Just do not water the soil, you want that to stay on the dry side. Damp soil will only cause your plumeria cutting to rot, and you do not want that. You’ll know roots have started to grow once you see new leaves growing from the top.90003 90131 90002 Leaf growth means plumeria root system has formed 90003 90019 How Long Does It Take Plumeria Cuttings To Root 90020 90002 How long it takes for the cuttings to root depends on the environment. If it’s really dry, then it will take much longer for plumeria cuttings to root. 90003 90002 But, if you keep them in a humid location, and give them bright light (not direct sun), then they will root much faster. In the right conditions, plumeria roots should start growing in a week or two.90003 90140 90002 Successfully rooted plumeria cutting 90003 90019 Transplanting Plumeria Cuttings 90020 90002 Once your cutting starts growing and has a few mature leaves on it, then you know it’s safe to pot it up. 90003 90002 You certainly do not need to worry about repotting plumeria cuttings right away, you can leave them in the small pot until they become pot-bound if you’d rather. 90003 90002 The best potting soil for plumeria plants is a porous mix, and they should always be planted in a pot that has drainage holes.90003 90002 They do not like to be overwatered, so it’s super important to make sure to use a fast draining potting mix, like succulent potting soil. 90003 90002 Or you can try to make your own plumeria potting soil by mixing coarse sand and perlite or pumice with general potting soil. 90003 90002 Once your new baby has become established in its pot, you can start fertilizing it to encourage flowers! Plumeria plants can flower starting their first year. 90003 90002 You can use tropical plant fertilizer specifically made for plumerias and other tropical plants.Otherwise, some of the best fertilizers are compost tea (you can get in liquid form, or buy compost tea bags to brew your own). 90003 90002 I also like to use fish emulsion or liquid kelp, but do not use these two indoors because they are a little bit stinky. 90003 90002 90162 Learn more about how to grow a them in my detailed plumeria plant care guide! 90163 90003 90165 90002 New plant after propagating plumeria from cuttings 90003 90019 Where To Buy Plumeria Cuttings 90020 90002 If you’re ever in Hawaii, you can find plumeria cuttings for sale all over the place.But if not, do not worry, it’s also pretty easy to find plumeria cuttings for sale online (I bought this red plumeria cutting last year, and it’s growing great!). 90003 90002 If you want to purchase them online, just be sure to order your cuttings in the spring or summer for best results. 90003 90002 Plumeria propagation by cuttings sounds like it would be really hard, but it’s actually pretty easy when you follow these steps. They grow really fast too, so once you get the hang of it, you’ll have plenty of new plants to share with friends! 90003 90002 90177 90003 90002 If you want to learn how to multiply any type of plant you can get your hands on, then my Plant Propagation Made Easy eBook is for you!

Keep in mind that it takes it takes a while to get a nice sized jade plant from leaf cuttings. 90003 90002 So, if you want to get a head start, and do not want to wait so long, then I recommend propagating jade plant stem cuttings instead of the leaves.90003 90002 But, either method is super easy and works great! Below I will show you both jade plant propagation methods, step-by-step. 90003 90026 When To Propagate Jade Plants 90027 90002 Jade cuttings need a warm, humid but well ventilated environment to grow roots. So, summer is the perfect time for jade plant propagation. 90003 90002 Jade plants are extremely easy to propagate during the warmest months of the year. Many times a branch or leaf will break off and start to grow roots in the soil without any help from you.90003 90002 But, with the right conditions, you can propagate your jade any time during the year. 90003 90026 Propagating Jade Plants 90027 90002 Before I jump into showing you how to propagate a jade plant, you may want to collect some supplies first. 90003 90002 Do not worry, you will not need a ton of expensive propagation supplies for rooting jade plant cuttings, but you will need a few things … 90003 90002 90022 Supplies Needed: 90023 90003 90026 How To Propagate Jade Plant From Cuttings 90027 90002 The fastest way to get a decent sized jade plant is to grow them from stem cuttings.You can propagate any size stem cutting, even huge ones. 90003 90002 So, if a branch broke off or you have a broken stem on your jade plant, then try propagating it. If you’re pruning your jade plant, save the clippings for propagation. 90003 90002 Otherwise, if you just want to take a cutting specifically for propagating, here’s how … 90003 90060 How To Take A Cutting From A Jade Plant 90061 90002 The first step in jade plant propagation is to choose where you want to cut the stem to make a new plant.90003 90002 If you’re taking stem cuttings, make sure to get at least a 1-3 inches of the stem so you have plenty of area for rooting the cutting. Use clean, sterile clippers or a knife to make the stem cutting. 90003 90002 You can dip your clippers in rubbing alcohol or wash them with soapy water to sterilize them before cutting jade stems. 90003 90002 If there are leaves growing down the entire stem, then remove a few sets of leaves. A jade plant cutting will root from the leaf joints all along the stem so the more leaf joints you have, the better the chances of roots.90003 90070 90002 Taking jade plant cuttings for propagation 90003 90060 Preparing A Jade Plant Cutting For Propagation 90061 90002 After taking a cutting from your jade plant, allow the ends of the cuttings to cure (dry out and callus over) for a few days before propagating . 90003 90002 This will help prevent rotting of the jade plant cutting. The larger the cutting is, the longer you should let it cure. 90003 90002 This is not as much of a concern in the summer months, but definitely something you’ll want to do if you’re propagating your jade plant during the winter.90003 90081 90002 Allowing jade cuttings to cure before propagating 90003 90026 How To Propagate Jade Plant From A Leaf 90027 90002 Jade plant leaf propagation is definitely possible, and it’s fun to experiment. However, it will take much longer for you to grow a large jade plant from leaves than it will from stem cuttings. 90003 90002 So keep that in mind before you go propagating a bunch of jade plant leaves. If a leaf is all you have to work with, or you want to give this method a try, here’s how to get started.90003 90060 How To Take Leaf Cuttings 90061 90002 In order to successfully grow a jade plant from a leaf, you have to make sure to take the leaf cuttings correctly. If you’re planning to use the leaves for jade plant propagation, carefully break off each leaf. 90003 90002 Be sure to get the entire stem of the leaf when you break it off. If the bottom part is broken off of the leaf, then the leaf will not root. 90003 90096 90002 Jade plant leaf cuttings correct (top 3) and incorrect (bottom 2) 90003 90060 Preparing A Jade Leaf For Propagation 90061 90002 You do not need to worry about curing leaf cuttings like you do with stem cuttings.It certainly will not hurt to allow them to dry out for a few days before trying to root them. 90003 90002 But do not let them sit for too long or they could shrivel up completely. You will not be able to propagate jade leaves that are completely dried out. 90003 90026 How To Root Jade Plant Cuttings In Soil 90027 90002 The best way to root jade cuttings is by planting them in soil. Do not use a closed propagation chamber or plastic baggie for this. 90003 90002 If the cuttings will get too much humidity, they will only end up rotting.Follow the steps below for rooting a jade plant cutting in soil … 90003 90002 90022 Step 1: Dust jade cuttings in rooting hormone 90023 90022 — 90023 Not only will the cuttings root faster when you use rooting hormone, you’ll have more success with starting a jade plant from cuttings when using it. 90003 90002 The rooting hormone will help the cuttings root faster, and I highly recommend using it. To use it, simply dust the stem of your jade clippings, or the cut end of the leaves with rooting hormone.90003 90119 90002 Dusting jade plant clipping with rooting hormone 90003 90002 90022 Step 2: Fill your container with soil — 90023 Loosely fill a container with your soil mixture. Jade plants will root best in a light, sandy soil that contains a mix of coarse sand, potting soil and perlite. 90003 90002 General potting soil alone is usually too heavy for propagating a jade plant, and can cause the cuttings to rot. 90003 90002 If you do not want to mix your own, you can use a commercial succulent soil mix, or a gritty succulent soil mix to propagate your jade plant clippings.90003 90002 90022 Step 3: Make a hole in the soil for the stem — 90023 Next use a pencil or your finger to make a hole in the middle of the rooting mixture for the jade plant cutting. 90003 90002 Gently place the cutting into the hole so the rooting hormone will not rub off. Then lightly pack the soil around the base of the cutting so it stays in place, and the soil is in contact with the stem. 90003 90002 If you’re growing a jade plant from a leaf, then you do not need to make a hole. You can simply lay the leaves over the top of the soil, or you can cover the cut end with a thin layer of soil.90003 90138 90002 Planting jade cuttings in propagation soil 90003 90002 90022 Step 4: Move your jade cutting to a protected area — 90023 Put the jade plant cutting in a spot where it will be protected from full sun. Do not water your jade cutting until it has roots. 90003 90002 If the air is really dry, then lightly mist the cutting daily with water using a plant sprayer / mister. Be careful though, they do not need very much humidity. 90003 90002 Once you start to see new growth on the top of the jade plant cutting, that’s a good sign that it has started to grow roots.90003 90002 90021 90022 Related Post: 90023 How to Propagate Succulents From Cuttings 90024 90003 90155 90002 New growth on rooted jade cutting 90003 90026 How Long Does It Take For Jade Cuttings To Root? 90027 90002 If you’re wondering how long it takes for jade cuttings to grow roots … well, that depends on the environment they’re in. 90003 90002 If the air is super dry, then it will take longer for your cuttings to grow roots. In the right conditions, it usually takes 2-3 weeks the cuttings to start forming roots.90003 90164 90002 Root growth on jade plant cutting after 4 weeks 90003 90026 Repotting Jade Plant Cuttings 90027 90002 Once the roots have formed on your jade plant cutting, you can water it like you normally would any jade plant. They do not need a lot of water, so allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. 90003 90002 You can leave the baby plants growing in their pots until they’re large enough to pot up. I usually wait until the babies have outgrown their starter pots before transplanting jade plant cuttings into larger pots.90003 90002 If you tend to overwater plants, put your jade plant into a clay pot rather than a plastic pot. 90003 90002 The best type of soil to use for potting jade plant cuttings is succulent potting soil. You can also use a gritty succulent soil mix, or you can make your own using my succulent soil recipe. 90003 90177 90002 Newly propagated baby jade plants 90003 90002 Look at all these cute little baby jade plants I have now.
