Brullulia is grown as a potted plant, and for decoration. Baulllia received its recognition due to its bloom. Under favorable conditions, it is directly plastered with blue-violet flowers. In addition to the blue-violet hue, the flowers can be white, blue or purple.
The plant blooms for 16-18 months. Surprisingly, the flowering does not stop even in winter. It is worth noting that in low light, it is not so strong. After the bloom is over, the beduliya is considered old. The second flowering in most cases does not occur. The life of the plant is not big about 2 years. This is not critical. Brovalliyu can be easily propagated.
Features
There are two ways of breeding brownies.:
- vegetative;
- seeds.
Vegetative breeding method is carried out by cutting. Thus, you can get new plants all year round. The second method, less popular - seed reproduction, also has no clear boundaries, when it is better to plant them, it can be summer and winter.
Rooting itself takes place in a loose, moist soil in a mini-hothouse. There is a second method of rooting - by placing the cutting in a bowl with water. Depending on when the planting is done, the flowering period will also change.
Training
Seed method
Seeds for cultivation in the ground must be prepared, before sowing they need to soak for several days in warm water. This will help in increasing germination and speeding up the germination process. First, the flowers are provided with a closed greenhouse, then left open air.
Before you sow the seeds, it is necessary to prepare the soil. The soil can be purchased ready, and you can prepare the soil mixture on your own, which is recommended by all gardeners. Ideal soil is the soil consisting of deciduous and turf soil mixed with river sand, humus and peat. Deciduous and turf soil are needed in equal proportions.
The prepared mixture is decomposed into containers. In the tank it is necessary to make drainage holes so that the water does not stagnate. In glasses it is necessary to fill in flower soil. On the dishes you can put the number of landing, if there is a need. Soil needs to be shed with water with epin.
To improve the looseness of the soil, vermiculite can be added to it.
Cuttings
The soil required for planting cuttings will need exactly the same. As in the seed method.
Breeding
For breeding need:
- 50g plastic cups;
- flower soil.
From seed
Brovalliya has very small seeds. Care must be taken not to wake them up. To do this, pour the seeds into a pre-prepared lid, or a matchbox in order to take them comfortably.
Toothpick, or a thin stick is required to moisten with water. Thus, it is very easy to pick up every gloxinia granule.
Seeds are placed on the surface of the soil, slightly pressing down, so that there is a coupling with the ground.- The dishes are covered with foil to create a greenhouse effect.
- Seeds are not sprinkled with earth, because light is necessary for their germination. Therefore, glasses are placed on a bright place.
- Do not forget every day to spray the earth with room temperature water from a spray bottle.
- It is necessary to take care of every day to expose the plant without shelter for about 1-2 hours.
Seeds are placed on the surface of the soil, slightly pressing down, so that there is a coupling with the ground.Seedlings will seem in about 2 weeks. Blooming will begin at the age of 2.5 months. If the temperature in the room is kept at a level of 22-25 degrees, then the first shoots will appear within 10 days.
Apical shoots
Cutting is not only a breeding method, but also a great way to rejuvenate an adult plant. The process itself is very simple and does not require great effort or special knowledge.
- It is necessary to cut the apical cuttings that do not have buds.
- Stems must be matured.
- Before breeding the cuttings must be watered abundantly.
- The container with the cuttings must be covered with a package.
- Be sure to put in a bright place.
Direct sunlight is not suitable for growing plants, diffused light is required. It is necessary to periodically ventilate and moisten the soil.
After rooting, the plant must be dived into separate pots one by one, in extreme cases, 2-3 pieces can be planted. It is necessary to pinch the tops to increase the branching..
Common mistakes
In the case when the brovallia is grown from seeds to decorate a balcony or loggia, it is necessary to take out seedlings for permanent residence only when the threat of the first spring frosts disappears. Otherwise, the plant will die.
Regularly, after the final transplantation of brovalliya in pots, it is necessary to begin fertilizing fertilizer for indoor flowering plants every 10-14 days until the end of flowering.
Additional tips on growing at home
Inexperienced gardeners often make mistakes when caring for the foundation. They are not the best way can affect the health of the plant. Mistakes that are made while caring for brick:
- One of these errors is the wrong placement of the flower. If you put the brick on the window of the south side from the bright sunlight, the leaves of the plant can get burned, which leads to the appearance of yellow spots. To avoid this situation, the plant must be hidden from direct sunlight. If you place the plant on the sides where there is little light, it may not bloom for a very long time.
- Incorrect dressing. For dressing it is necessary to use only high-quality balanced universal fertilizers. Otherwise, the leaves of the flower will begin to turn yellow due to iron deficiency.
- Lack of moisture also affects the state of Browlov.At low humidity, the plant simply starts to dry. The problem is solved simply, it is necessary to spray the plant on hot days, water it abundantly, but not flood it.
- Another mistake, the creation of a sharp temperature fluctuations in the room. Due to temperature fluctuations, the brovallia begins to shed leaves. Creating the right temperature is the key to solving this problem.
Brullalia is a toxic plant. When working with it, you must wear gloves, be sure to wash your hands. It is better to place the plant in places that are not accessible to children and animals..
Brovalia has a beautiful and unusual flowering. In order for it to please the eye as long as possible, you just need to create favorable growing conditions for it and ensure proper reproduction. What is not so difficult.
