Saxifrages Landing
You can sow seeds, but experienced gardeners know - this is a troublesome process, the seeds are tiny, poorly received. It would be better to grow seedlings, then dive in peat glasses, and only then plant them in the garden. To plant in this way, in February you still need to sprinkle the seeds in a light drainage soil, just slam your palm slightly, and cover with a glass. And as the sprouts appear, remove the glass and transfer to the light. And they will rise a bit more - transfer them to small peat containers, even if they expect transplants to the garden.

Care
There is nothing complicated in caring for a saxifrage, you only need to remember that it does not tolerate heat, stagnation of water as well, but drought is harmful to it. That is, it is necessary that the soil be porous, not clayey and heavy, but light, loose, sheltered from the sun and feed once a month. That's all the nuances. Only here from autumn to March there is no need to feed.
Breeding
It is best to propagate your beauty by dividing the bushes. It’s simple - they dug it after flowering, divided it into parts with roots and immediately dug it into the fertile soil. That's all the care. Also rosettes can be propagated, simply and efficiently. That is, once planting a saxifrage, tinkering a bit with seedlings, then you will have this beauty for several years, and transplant it wherever you want, each time decorating the garden in a different way.
Disease
In fact, the plant is very resistant, if you water moderately, and pritenat in time, then there will be no particular problems. If you forget to water, the spider mite may attack. With waterlogging - powdery mildew will start or rust will eat. Also beware of green aphids. Basically, only the joy of growing this wonderful plant.
