Polegnatka, native of Central America, has sunny yellow flowers resembling miniature sunflowers.It grows to a height of approx.15 cm.In pots or ampls its shoots overhang outside the container. In addition to the popular yellow varieties, such as 'Aztekengold', yellow-black, and 'Golden Carpet', forms with orange flowers are available, such as 'Irish Eyes' and 'Mandarin'.
Stand for the rebellion
A sunny position encourages plants to bloom more luxuriantly from June to October. There are hundreds of flowers.Polegnatka feels great on balconies with a southern exposure.Although small, it tolerates the vicinity of larger plants, such as petunia and clinging.
Polegnatka sent - watering
The most important thing about hydration is moderation. The substrate should never dry out, as this leads to inhibition of flowering and loss of leaves, nor should it become soaked.Water the substrate when it begins to dry in the top layer.
Polegnatka sent - fertilization
Every 14 days we feed the crop with a fast-acting full-ingredient fertilizer for balcony plants.
Cutting of a broadcast crop
Wilted flowers do not fall automatically, so they should be cut regularly. This will prevent the seeds from forming.
Wintering of a sent fallow
From March, we sow the seedlings in very bright, but not sunny locations, where the temperature remains within 20 ° C.We transfer young plants to the open air from mid-May.
Tip
The main shoot of leafless plants can be strongly pruned in July. It is permissible to shorten the stem even 2/3 of its length.
