How to breed mock-up - in spring, in summer

The romantic garden shrub mockery delights with many delicate inflorescences and a rich aroma. As soon as a small chubushnik appears on the site, immediately there is a desire to breed him to create a chic flowering hedge or shrub mixborder. Chubushnik multiplies easily, and you can choose any of the known methods.

When can I breed?

Chubushnik belongs to the Gortenziev family, but the people call it "garden jasmine." The bush was given the Latin name “Philadelphus” in honor of the King of Egypt, Ptolemy Philadelphus, and the Russian “mock-up” was due to the fact that pipe holders and mouthpieces were made from its hollow stem.

Chubushnik - garden decoration

The height of the bush is 1-2.5 m, the stems are flexible, thin, the leaves are light green, bright. Flowers are collected in inflorescences that form on the lateral short processes. They can be simple, cupped, goblet, semi-double or terry, white or cream shades.

Chubushnik blooms at the end of June - July for 3 weeks, when the spring colors have already gone out, garden jasmine begins to delight with its beauty and fragrance.

Flowering mock

Chubushnik is an unpretentious plant and it can be propagated by all methods known in gardening. How mock jasmine breeds:

• dividing the bush;
• cuttings;
• by seeds;
• layering.

The timing when reproduction can be carried out depends on the breeding method chosen:

• The favorable period for dividing the bush is March-April.
• When propagating by cuttings, three methods are used: spring, summer and autumn-spring. Autumn harvesting of cuttings begins after the leaves fall. Lignified gray cuttings are cut and left for winter storage in a cellar or basement at a temperature of 3-5 ℃ above zero, while the stems are deepened in a container of wet sand. Planting can begin in the spring when the flower buds swell. In spring cuttings, young green shoots are chosen before the bush begins to bloom, how to propagate the mock up by cuttings by cuttings in the summer - after flowering.
• Seed propagation is carried out in the fall - in November or in the spring - in April.
• Cuttings are strong, developed shoots, they are dug in late April - early May, during the season, you must not forget to water them, and in autumn, letting out the roots of the cuttings can already be transplanted to a permanent place of residence.

Seed propagation

How to propagate marshmallow seeds? This is the longest and most difficult method of reproduction. Moreover, using this method, you can not get the desired result since only species characteristics are transmitted by seeds, and varietal ones are lost. But if you already have the treasured box with seeds in your hands, plucked from a neighboring bush, you should try to grow a bush.

Chubushnik seeds

In the autumn sowing of seeds, the following steps must be performed:

• From the seeds that were ripped in September and harvested, collect the seeds, put them in a bag or bag and put them in a cold place. Stratification lasts from 50 to 60 days.
• Sowing seeds is carried out on the site, in open ground. A plot of land must be prepared in advance: dig, fertilize, form ridges. In November, the seeds are mixed with sand and sprinkled in ridges. Top seeds are sprinkled with dry compost or straw and covered with branches to protect from the wind. After the snow melts, the branches are cleaned, and the area with shoots is shaded from direct sunlight.

Chubushnik seeds are available at the store.

In spring, the seeds are sown in April in a prepared container with soil. Pre-seeds need to be prepared:

• Place the seeds in a tissue bag and dip it in a cup of water at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Transfer the bag of seeds to sawdust or peat for 3 days. During this time, the seeds swell and germinate faster after planting.
• Mix the prepared seeds with sand, sow in a prepared box with soil that is covered with glass or film on top to create a greenhouse
• Ventilate the resulting greenhouse daily, and spray the crops 2 times a day. The first shoots should appear in a week.
• Shoots are recommended to be treated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate to avoid the disease "black leg". Airing the greenhouse and spraying continue.
• After the appearance of the fourth leaf, seedlings dive.
• At the beginning of summer, mature seedlings are transplanted into open ground, on a shaded area.
• In winter, to protect from frost, the sprouts need to be covered with dry compost or peat.
• The following spring, to form a dense bush, the aerial part must be cut off, and in the fall transplanted to a permanent place.

Seed soaking

Cuttings

Cutting of mock up is suitable for the propagation of varietal species of shrubs, this method retains all the characteristics of the variety. This method is also convenient, because it is possible to carry out cuttings throughout the season.

Seedlings of marshmallow

Spring propagation by cuttings is carried out in late April - May, before flowering. To do this, young green twigs break off together with a heel (a piece of bark from the main shoot), which contributes to better root formation. The necessary length of the handle is 5-7 cm. The lower leaves of the handle need to be cut off, leaving only one pair, so that all the forces of the branch go to create the root system. In advance, you need to prepare a pot with soil mixture: 1 part of peat is mixed with 1 part of sand. Stick the prepared cuttings into the prepared soil to a height of 2 cm. Cover the top of the pot with a cropped plastic bottle to create a greenhouse climate. It is recommended to ventilate the cuttings daily, removing the plastic cap, and spray. The first roots will appear in 2-3 weeks, and it will be possible to transplant the sprouts into the garden only in the middle of autumn.

Cutting of mockingbird in spring

Reproduction of a mock up by cuttings in the summer is also possible. If there was not enough time in the spring and garden jasmine has already bloomed, then the mock-up is cutted in summer. Immediately after flowering, in June-July (depending on the variety), young twigs are cut with secateurs, making an oblique cut below and straight on the crown. Further actions on how to cut the marshmallow in summer are the same as during spring planting.

In autumn cuttings after the leaves fall, secateurs are cut into ligneous branches, 15 cm long. Prepared cuttings can be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or deepened in the sand in the cellar. You can plant cuttings in open ground when the soil has already warmed up or in a pot in early spring. Shoots deepen into the soil to the upper kidney.

Chubushnik cuttings in a growth stimulator

With any method of grafting, it is recommended to process the cuttings before planting with a growth stimulator. How to root mockup. You can use home remedies (aloe juice, yeast solution, willow water) or chemicals (root, zircon, heteroauxin). A sprig is dipped into the solution for a period of 6 to 12 hours.

Propagation by cuttings is a fairly simple method and always gives its results.

Propagation by layering

How to propagate mock-ups by layering is very simple. Breeding by layering is a very effective and uncomplicated method. To do this, in early spring, before budding, the following actions are carried out:

• Dig the soil around the bush, fertilize and make holes 1.5-2 cm deep.
• In the holes to arrange layering, top with water and sprinkle with earth.
• The top of the lay does not fit in, it must be tied to a peg so that its growth is vertical.

After a while, roots and sprouts form from each kidney on a trickled shoot. As young shoots grow, they are spudded to a height of 10-15 cm.

Chubushnik reproduction by layering

During the summer period, growing bushes should be watered and loosened. In autumn, cut off cuttings from the main bush, dig out and cut secateurs between the buds into bushes. Prepared seedlings to plant on the site.

Bush division

How to breed a mock-up by dividing a bush? This can be done in early spring, before budding, or in autumn, after the leaves fall. When dividing the bush you need:

• Previously, for a day, jasmine is shed heavily with water.
• Then carefully dig out the bush and free it from the clods of earth.
• The next step is to divide the root of the garden jasmine using a secateurs. The number of new bushes can be according to the number of shoots, the main thing is that they have enough roots left. If the root system is not sufficiently developed - divide into parts of several shoots.
• At the bushes, the upper part of the shoots and the lower part of the roots are trimmed.
• In a new place, holes are prepared to the depth of the first buds on the shoots. Mix the earth with fertilizers, compost or peat, treat with manganese or fungicides. Pour a bucket of water into the hole.
• Place bushes in the holes, cover with prepared soil, water.

Reproduction by dividing the bush

During the spring planting, the bushes will take root and strengthen in a new place by the fall; during the autumn planting, it is necessary to prepare seedlings for the winter - to fill it with dry peat or to cover it with lapnik.

Shelter for winter

Care after breeding

Young seedlings of mock licks will at first require attention:

• When choosing a landing site, you need to consider in advance that the plant does not like prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If it was not possible to find a shaded place, then young bushes will have to be shaded.
• Chubushnik need fertilizer. When planting, fertilizers were already introduced into the hole, which should be enough for two years, but still in small quantities 2 times a year will not hurt to treat the plant with organic and mineral fertilizers. In spring, a plant needs nitrogen (a diluted mixture of mullein and chicken droppings) and potassium and superphosphate in the summer to strengthen the root system after winter cold and to build green mass.
• Bushes need to be regularly watered, it is better to do it in the morning or evening with warm, settled water.
• After watering, the soil in the near-stem circle is loosened to provide oxygen access to the roots. To retain moisture, you can cover the ground with mulch.
• Ridges with a young mocker need to be regularly weed-free.
• In spring or autumn, molding bush pruning is performed to obtain a lush mass and the desired shape.
• In preparation for the winter colds, a young mocker needs to be sheltered. To do this, a film cap, spruce branches, dry leaves or peat are suitable. An adult plant does not need frost protection.
• In the spring, after harvesting the winter protection from the bushes, they must be treated with fungicides and insecticides to protect against pests and diseases.

Chubushnik is a gentle and unpretentious decoration of the garden. To propagate it, you can use any of the horticultural methods. Propagation of garden jasmine does not take much time and does not require much effort. Bushes have a high ability to root and reproduce. The result will please after 4-5 years with beautiful flowering mixborders or hedges with an exquisite aroma.
