TAGETES, or velvets, - annual or perennial herbaceous plants with straight stems height from 10 cm to 2 meters. They form a reprehensive bush with a basking root. Peristo-disseated light or dark green leaves are beautifully well-groomed velvets themselves. The gears along the edge and arranged alternately or oppositely they are very decorative, which is why the velvets is beautiful even without blossoming inflorescences.

Golden, orange, yellow, red, burgundy, double, white and even greenish velvet flowers have nothing more than complex inflorescences "baskets" with a central disk in the middle consisting of tubular rolling flowers. On the edges of such a core there are boundary tongue flowers. In different varieties, they can be wavy, bent, narrow and wide and even carved, located in one, two, and more rows.

The velvets is easy to propagate, however, hybrids are little suitable for this, they can change their properties.

TAGETES, especially during flowering, have a peculiar smell, in different species and varieties it is different. Perhaps, it is the sharp smell of individual of them that explains a number of people who do not take these flowers. But often such a rejection over time is replaced with a completely opposite feeling. Then winter comes acute nostalgia on the fragrance of velvetsev, when I want to inhale it again and again. And not surprising. After all, many types of velvets are used as spicy aromatic plants in cooking.

Types and varieties of velvetsev

In Europe, the velets appeared only in the 17th century and immediately became popular with flower water for their decorativeness and unpretentiousness. Since then, a lot of hybrid varieties of velvetsev for decorative use are created, as a rule, this annual culture. Many modern garden hybrids are deprived of a pronounced smell of velvets, which attracts even more fans to them. The velvets differ not only by the size and color, but also the structure of inflorescences. On this basis, the varietal velvets are divided into

- nation (inflorescences consist mainly of tongue flowers dissected around the edge),
- Chrysanthemum (inflorescences consist mainly of large tubular flowers),
- anemovoid (edge \u200b\u200btongue flowers form 1-3 rows, in the center of large tubular flowers),
- terry (numerous rows of tongue flowers or multiple large tubular flowers),
- semi-grade (tongue flowers are located in 2-4 rows),
- Simple (tongue edge flowers are located in one row).

Also, garden velvets are separated by height on
- gigantic (above 90 cm),
- High (above 50-60 cm),
- medium (up to 50 cm),
- low (up to 40 cm),
- Very low | Dwarf (up to 20 cm).

In the garden culture more common hybrids of three types of Tagtetes: velvets reprehension (African), rejected velvets (French) and velvets Throughly (Mexican).

Growing conditions

Velhets - unpretentious annual plants. However, that their inflorescences are large and bright, lush, flowering, busty and long-lasting velvets should create certain cultivation conditions.

Shine. The ancestors of modern velvetsev lived in solar hot mexico. Therefore, even resistant hybrids and grades of Tagtetes are better to highlight the solar open or slightly sexual place, the flowering of the taghetess will be more spectacular.

Temperature. The origin explains the thermal lobility of the Tagtetes. The velvets do not tolerate minus temperatures at all - die, and at temperatures from 0 to +10 OS stop in growth and change the color of the leaves. The most favorable for colors is the temperature + 19-23 OS - bushes grow well and tie buds, and the flowers do not fade for a long time.

The soil. Velhets are fast-growing and unpretentious garden flowers, can grow practically on any soil. But the best decorativeness is achieved when growing on loose drainaged and nutrient soils. It is not like tagtessy acid, as well as heavy and wet soils with water stagnation, their roots are puments.

Watering. This thermo-loving plant easily tolerates drought, so it watered moderately and rarely. Young plants watered more often, which contributes to the formation of a lush bush and numerous large buds.

Podrel. Although the velvets love nutrient soil, the introduction of nitrogen fertilizers, especially in the spring, undesirable. This causes an intense growth, but delays flowering. The velvets feed with complex fertilizers 1-2 times a month, when growing in containers - once every 10-14 days.

Care. In addition to conventional care activities, it should be reminded about the weeding of flower beds, as well as the removal of flashing buds - it prolongs the flowering of Tagtetes. If you need a billet of your own seeds, several best inflorescences are left to full aging of seeds that are collected in dry weather. The tall varieties of velvetsev should be tested to the support so that they do not break them away. In the spring and autumn, the velvets should be stolen during short-term frosting spunbond or other observer material. Good bunches of velvets with unknown buds in the fall can be transplanted into a pot or boxes, put into the room and grow some time on the windowsill.

Diseases and pests. In general, velvets are resistant to diseases and all kinds of pests. The roots of African velvets may be affected by mushroom diseases in rainy weather, and the inflorescences are rotten. When overwhelming, crowding or poor, seedlings are amazed with a black leg. In this case, plant and soil treatment is treated with phytoosporin or other antifungal drug, seedlings create optimal conditions for cultivation. Seedlings in a dry climate can be amazed by a paouth tick. In this case, it is necessary to increase the humidity of the air by spraying with water from the spray and carry out 2-3 multiple treatment with the infusion of red hot peppers, onions or yarrow. Young plants can also be affected by slugs.

Reproduction. The velvets breed seeds: straight sowing in open ground and through seedlings.
Reproduction direct sowing in the ground

The seeds are seeded in an open ground for stationary beds after the threat of frosts into the grooves to a depth of 0.5 cm (seeds are sowing immediately at a permanent place). From above, the seeds are slightly sprinkled with a loose substrate and watered. For more quick germination, crops are covered with spunbond. Seeds germinate at a temperature of +20 OS. Shoots appear within 7-14 days. Speakers can accelerate the germination of seeds, if you pre-dock them in a wet fabric. In phase, 2-3 leaves seedlings are cleared, blocking to the seedlings. At a permanent place, you can plant well-formed bushes, and even in the bud phase or blooming, blocking 2 cm below the previous level.

The velvetse seeds are seeded in separate glasses or containers at a distance of 1-2 cm from each other. For the landing, a pre-moist and compacted soil mixture for flowers or seedlings is used, or they are independently made of turf, leaf land, peat and humus with mandatory adding sand. Seeds slightly sprinkled with loose soil, moisturized from the sprayer, are covered with polyethylene. Sevings contain in bright and warm place, ventilate. If necessary, moisturize. After the appearance of sections, the film is removed, contain at a temperature of +20 OS. In the phase 2-3 of these leaves, the velvets searched on separate cups, blocking them to the cotyadal. In the process of growing seedlings, if necessary, transplanted into the pot of larger volume. Filling the planting tanks soil mixture on the bottom should be put drainage, in pots, cups, plates to make a pre-hole for water drainage.

Velhets: Growing and Care

Thanks to the natural beauty of the velvetsev, as well as due to the prolonged period of flowering, they are used for the decorative design of urban parks, garden sites and reception areas. The landing site depends on the size of the bush. So gigantic, tall or average varieties of velvetsev are used to decorate the center of the flower bed or the background of the flower garden, and colorful floral curbs form from low-layer plants. The velvets are suitable for cultivation in floor vases, large pots, balcony boxes and even porridge, and cut flowers can be standing for quite a long time in a conventional vase.

The soil

In Russia, flowerflowers, mainly engaged in breeding inferior, reprehension and rejected velvets. Despite the fact that these plants are rather unpretentious and can grow almost on any soil, the most intensive bloom is achieved on fertile, neutral, driving soils, which are sufficiently fertilized and moistened. To enrich the soil with the necessary minerals and microelements, any of the full mineral fertilizers contribute to it, but not only manure. When creating conditions for the full supply of the root system with oxygen at the landing site, there is a good drainage, which can be used compost.

Temperature and lighting

Flowers of velvets are thermal-loving plants, so they need to be planted at sunny areas, although the light shadow will not harm them. The best temperature that is needed for optimal vegetation and full bloom is considered to be the range from + 20 ° C to + 23 ° C. Upon cooler temperature conditions, the sprouts slow down their growth, and the leaves acquire a pale green color. The first frosts usually lead to the death of plants. On excessively shaded places, the growth of shoots is accelerated, and flowering is oppressed.

Humidity

Long-term heavy rains can adversely affect the state of the velvetsev, causing the charges of inflorescences and fungal diseases of the root system, but the drought these plants are transferred quite easily, as they come from solar and arid regions of South America and Mexico.

Ways to landing vechatsev

Floriculture uses 2 methods of breeding vertices:

• sowing seeds directly into the soil,
• empty method.

Flowers planted by direct sowing into the ground, begin to delight their bloom only in the middle of summer, but the landing of the prepared seedlings makes it possible to admire the beauty of plants in early June.

When to plant velvets?

Dates of landing of velvets in open ground depend on air temperature. Seeding or planting seedlings should be produced only after the night temperature will not fall below + 5 ° C. In the southern regions with a soft and warm climate, disembarking can be started from mid-April, and in areas with temperate climate it is better to postpone the second decade of May.

Gardening of the seeds of Vitytsev

So that the shoots were friendly and strong, planting material germinate. This preparation method is equally used as for sowing seeds directly into open soil and for growing velvet seedlings.

Seeding does not represent much difficulty. To do this, it is necessary to wrap the seeds of the chosen grade into the wetted cloth from the cotton fabric. Then the bundle should be put in a shallow flat saucer and put it in a transparent plastic bag. Now it remains to put a container with a wetted planting material in a warm and bright place and wait two to three days. When the seeds proceed, you can start landing.

Landing velvets seeds in open ground

On a plot prepared for the sowing of the velvetsev, with the help of a chipping, a shallow (no more than 2 centimeters) grooves, in which, with an interval of about 15-20 millimeters, should be laid down the grocessed seeds of velvetsev. After that, you need to fall asleep their soil layer with a thickness of at least one centimeter. With a thicker layer, the sponsors will be difficult to break through, and they may die, and with insufficient powder - just to dry. It is necessary to water carefully and moderately, not allowing both excessive convergence and flushing of seeds from the soil. The first shoots can be observed already after 7-8 days. You can cover the landing site by agricultural or any other nonwoven material (acrylic or Loutrasil). When 2 or 3 of the present leaflet appear on the sprouts, it is possible to break and sear plants according to the varietality, height and width of the bush.

To enjoy blossoming in the last days of May or in the first decade of June, sowing velvetsev at seedlings should be carried out during the period of March and the first half of April. Those who want to grow several different species, it must be borne in mind that in March, seeds should be seen the seeds of the vertical velvetsev, and the mellover and rejected - in the first two weeks of April. In this case, flowering will come simultaneously in early June.

It is quite easy to grow a healthy and strong seedlings of these colors, but some nuances should be observed. The best substrate for the extension of velvetsev can be considered a mixture taken in an equal number of humidiation, peat, delicate earth and half of the norm of pure large river sand. To destroy pests and weed seeds that can be in soils, it is necessary to carry out its disinfection. To do this, you can use any fungicide or a dark pink potassium permanganate solution (manganese).

In order not to stagnate water in the substrate, a drainage layer with a thickness of at least 3 centimeters is poured onto the bottom of the planting drawer or container. To do this, you can use fine crushed stone, gravel, crumples or even large sand. Two thirds are added to the drainage from the desired scope of the soil, which is compacted by tamping. The rest of the substrate should be in a loose state so that the root system of seedlings to properly supplied with oxygen.

You should not fill the seedbox or container to the top: from the top of the tank to the surface of the soil should remain 10-20 millimeters of free space. Now you need to shed a prepared substrate with water and give a container or box to stand in a warm room for a couple of days so that the soil reached the desired structure. To remove excess moisture from the soil capacity, at the bottom of which several small holes have been made, it must be equipped with a special pallet.

Before boarding the velvets to seedlings, the substrate surface is needed slightly and with an interval of about two centimeters make shallow grooves. The crumpled seeds need to be decomposed into these grooves every 10-15 millimeters, and then they should be covered with a layer of substrate with a thickness of no more than 10 mm. After that, it is very good to pour the entire surface of the planting, and the container is covered with a transparent material (polyethylene chicken, cover from the edible container, glass, etc.) and are referred to a warm room with a temperature of + 22 ° C to + 25 ° C.

It is necessary to ensure that the soil does not drive, and periodically hold watering. When the first velvette sprouts appear, the tank with the seedle is transferred to the lighter and cool room, in which the temperature ranges in the range of 15-18 ° C. At the same time, it is starting to "teach" seedlings to fresh air, for which the daily ventilation is carried out. In addition, this will make it possible to reduce the risk of some diseasescharacteristic of seedlings. If the slightest suspicions appeared that some seedling is infected with a black leg, it needs to be removed along with a lump of the substrate. After that, you should fill the resulting well of fresh soil, and then process all the soil along with the spicial solution of the fungicide.

When the friendly shoots of velvets appear, the shelter is completely removed. During this period, watering is carried out only after the land in the tanks for seedlings dried. Also, should not be allowed to accumulate water in the pallet, so after some time after irrigation, it should be merged with an extra liquid. So that the seedlings grow strong and healthy, it is recommended twice a month to feed them with special fertilizers for seedlings.

If all the planted marriage seeds are going, the sponses will be quite closely in a container or drawer. In this case, it will be necessary picking. This operation is carried out after a while after watering. In a separate container with the same substrate, as for the cultivation of seedlings, the wells are prepared in which the sprouts extracted with a spoon from the container are transplanted. The landing lead, blocking the plants to almost the cotyadal, which will lead to more intense and abundant root formation. The velvet seedliness readiness signal to the flooring to open ground can be considered 2 or 3 of the present leaflet.

Landing seedlings of velvetsev in open ground

In the open ground, seedlings are planted in the middle or late May in the pre-prepared soil. For this purpose, the selected area is drunk to a depth of no more than 25 centimeters and put into it complex fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. After that, the soil is reappeared and watering. The number of mineral fertilizers made should not exceed 30 g / m 2.

Waving some time so that the water absorbed into the soil prepare the wells in which the seedlings will be planted. The distance between the wells and adjacent rows of velvette depends on their type and variety. For giant and tall plants, this indicator is equal to 40 centimeters, the average-eligible flowers should be planted after 30 centimeters, but the low-spirited and dwarf velvets are planted after 20 centimeters.

The depth of the seedlings should be such that the root neck of the plant can be in-depth in the soil by 10-20 millimeters. After the root system is neatly placed in the hole, you need to carefully fill the emptiness around the roots and slightly compact the soil. Next, it is necessary to hide the seedlings, avoiding unnecessary convergence. It is noteworthy that, unlike many plants, the velvets are not afraid of getting water on the leaves.

Barchatic care

Further care for these flowers is rather simple.

• So that the bushes are plentifully blooming, you need delete weeds and periodically loose soil Not only between plants, but also between rows.
• Despite the fact that the velvets are unpretentious, making phosphorus-potash fertilizers Character will affect the appearance of bushes, making blossoms more lush. It will be enough for one or two root feeding for the entire season performed when the first buds appear and after the start of abundant flowering. Apply nitrogen fertilizers should not be applied, as this will lead to the growth of escapes and to the oppression of the development of inflorescences.
• In addition, the plant looks lush and tidy, you need periodically delete inflorescencewhich have already been blowing and carrying out the forming cutting of the velvetsev.

In the fall after the onset of frosts, the velvets die. Plants need to be removed from the ground, finely crushed and close in the ground during autumn people.

Such a measure will allow the prevention of soil fungal infection.

Diseases of the velvetsev, photo and names

Like all plants, the velvets can also hurt.

• For example, if the summer was turned cool and rainy, or if the bushes are planted too close to each other, on the leaves of plants and on their stems often appear spots of dark brown. This disease is called "Gray rot" And leads to the death of not only infected bush, but also can cause the spread of fungal infection to other plants. To avoid this, you need to immediately dig up all the bustz kosses affected by the gray rot and destroy them.
• Excessive moisture can also lead to the appearance slizney and Snails. You can get rid of them using a manual collection or jars with chlorine that needs to be placed between the rows. The sharp smell comes from them by pests.
• In the roast dry summer, especially when watering is carried out irregularly and in insufficient quantities, the plants are exposed to invasion custom tick . You can get rid of this dangerous pest using the spraying of the bushes with influences of special plants, since the velvets poorly carry chemicals. To prepare info, you can use onions, yarrow or red burning pepper. If the infection by the paw-tick has not yet happened, it is possible as preventive measures two or three times a day to spray the bushes with simple water.

It is noteworthy that phytoncides, stalks and leaves contained in the roots, stalks and leaves prevent the development of most fungal diseases not only in the colors themselves, but also serve as excellent protection for those plants that grow close to them. Therefore, many experienced gardeners create peculiar flower borders around planting tomatoes, potatoes or berry shrubs.

Approximately 10 days after the sowing, pick up seedlings into the boxes or one by one in separate pots. Provide the plants good lighting and influx of fresh air. Place into balcony containers when the threat of frosts.

External care:remove faded inflorescences to grow new flowers faster.

Vehicle care features

The velvets do not tolerate supercooling, so they need to be stolen from the cold, especially carefully - young plants before frosts. In the glazed unheated loggias, close and insulate the frame. If the velvets grow on an outdoor balcony, cover the plants with cardboard boxes or foam slices.

Velhets - the permanent inhabitants of the majority of garden sites of Ukraine and Russia, although their homeland is America.

In some places they are more famous called "Blackheads", unpretentious, charming decorative, very simple in cultivation. Even novice will cope with them.

Seeds in open soil sow in wide in-depth holes by 1.5 cm from each other so that there is no thick and seedlings did not stretch and did not hesitate. Plush the ground from above with a thin layer of 0.5-1 cm and carefully pour. Watering mode let it be moderate before the appearance of sprouts, and they will appear very quickly.

When 2-3 pairs of leaflets appear, transfer the seedlings to a permanent place at a sufficient distance (not thick) and blow it 2 cm more.

Seeds can only be purchased for the first planting, and then at the end of flowering them to collect them. Leave several flowers on drying a bush, let it finally be covered.

The main thing is that at that time did not go rain. Then you easily remove the freshest seeds from a cup of flower, which dried and save to spring.

The rule "the earlier will put, the earlier it blooms" it is quite suitable for the velvets. If you wish, you can sow seeded seeds in early spring. Keep seedlings in warm and bright room until May. Then you can make the outdoor air tank for a week so that the seedlings are accustomed to new conditions, and after planting them at a permanent place.

The land should be loose: DERN - humus - peat - sand (1: 1: 1: 0.5). For the prevention of the "black leg" provide colors of a good drainage of 3 cm rubble, crumples and sand. In the soil before planting, you can make prepared fertilizers, but not fresh manure. In the threat of frosts, cover the seedlings of the film - your seedlings will become strong.

Velhets can grow in the shade and half, but they will bloom more magnificently at the most sunny places. The main thing is that they are not too wet and dark. Up to germination, the temperature is desirable 22-25 ° C. With cold wind, flowers need protection. The soil must be well moistened during the growth period.

Clean the colors evenly, without any hopping. Of all the velvets, the most unpretentious - rejected, come in in any soil and will be abundantly blossoming even without fertilizer. If you want to feed, then do it no more than once a month, otherwise the bush will grow intensively and will not bloom for a long time.

During growth, watering should be moderate, and later it will need to be reduced so that there is no stagnation of moisture, from which the plants are sick, rot and do not bloom. It is better to water in the summer heat in the evenings. The velvets may well live without feeding, but they will respond very grateful on them.

Fertilizers contribute three times: when the seedlings are growing up to 10 cm, when the first buds and to the beginning of blooming will appear. You can use comprehensive fertilizers.

We have regular weeds and loosen the soil, because the velvets love loose soil and must breathe. In the summer, spend the trimming - it will help to form lush beautiful bushes. They will bloom stronger if you remove the outflower inflorescences.
In the fall after wilting and drying them, they are cleaned with a bed.

Velhets can grow perfectly in a pot. For this purpose, put them in the fall, and then to the spring, the bush will surely bloom.
