HOW TO REPRODUCT ASPARAGUS WITH SEEDS

I propagate adult asparagus by dividing the root during a spring transplant, and last year in early spring I decided to sow seeds. What is amazing; seedlings grew from one bag, slightly different from each other: some have wider needles, others have more. Generally, it turned out interesting and exciting.

SOWING

Sowing seeds in a transparent container in early March, put it in a zip bag and placed it in the shade on the windowsill at a temperature of about +20 city. Opened only a month later, when there is not enough space for seedlings. Replaced the shelter with a plastic bag, and the seedlings continued to actively increase the green mass. A month and a half after sowing, she transplanted the plants into separate pots. Covered with bags for a few days. As I grew, I loaded asparagus into larger flowerpots..

IN FRESH AIR

For the summer I take asparagus outside. They are especially good in the gazebo - they are sheltered from the rain and protected from the scorching rays of the sun. A not too dense crown of a tree will suit them. It is better not to put plants on the ground in the garden, to protect from pests. I try to place them on shelves or hang them. If the flowers still stood below for a while, then I carefully examine them, up to that, that I take out of the pot and examine the soil and roots. the main thing, detect and recognize parasites in time.

I water in the summer according to the scheme: in the heat - once in 4 days abundantly (early morning or evening), on ordinary days - once a week. As it gets colder, I moisturize even less often (in the fall - once in 10 days).

I feed the plants mainly with universal fertilizers for indoor and flowering species (according to instructions) : during the period of active growth - once in 2 weeks, by autumn - once a month. I especially like the liquid food "Bona Forte for rooms", which I alternate with "Biohumus".
