"Rannik looks impressive among the flowers of early spring".
The symbol early springare generallysnowdrops , and it is the early spring ranches. Besides, the yellow color of these flowers is more associated
with the first rays gettingstronger heating earth sun .
Winter rancher has made its home in forestswarmer parts EuropeIt is a bit smaller and has less intense color thanrannik spring It also blooms a little earlier - under favorable conditions, even inFebruaryIt should grow in asunny positionorsemi-shaded , inplaces exposed , the rockery is perfect for this. It corresponds tosoil not very acidic(pH above 5.5).
Ranniki arehoney plants , but alsopoisonous . When taking care of them,take care caution , as all parts may causeirritation skin .
These early flowers can be propagated in two ways: bydivision tubersorseeding seedsThe plant does not need to be excavated every year, but shouldbe divided every 2-3 yearsIt is also important that after dividing the tubers (which we do in May, when the rancher begins to dry) plant them at a depth of 4-8 cm. If we put them too deep,plant bad out developsiweak blooms In summer, tubers tooshallow plantedmay dry out, and in frostywinters freeze up
"We should provide these plants with a loose, humus, well-drained but moist soil," advises Andrzej Pach. |
After dividing them, you can put them in the ground or store them until autumnwith moist peatWe sow the ranches in May, when they burstbellows seedIn favorable conditions they will fall off by themselves, hence withspring weedingin their vicinity you should not rush. Flowers from sowing bloom only after 3-4 years.
Fallen leaves of shrubs protect growing under themwounds from freezing On rockeries, in the empty places left by these flowers, let's let the plants growplants creeping themselvesThis will protect the soil from drying, and inwinter against frostsGet rid of this natural cover only in the early spring to discoverwounders coming out of the ground.
