Lobelia is a charming flower that can decorate any garden or flower bed. After all, every gardener wants his plot to look attractive. It should be noted that at times, time is not always found for growing capricious ornamental plants. After all, they take quite a lot of time. Therefore, many amateur gardeners use unpretentious flowers, for example, lobelia.
These plants do not require any special care, they are not whimsical and very beautiful. Elegant flowers can grow almost anywhere, that is, even on darkened land. Having a different color, lobelia can decorate any garden or give an additional design to the flowerbed.
But before you deal with these plants, you need to figure out when to plant lobelia for seedlings in 2017. After all, as you know, sometimes the spring does not always come warm and pleases with its sunbeams, sometimes the weather is quite cold.
In addition, it is worth noting that lobelia seeds are sold in various forms today. That is, it is not uncommon to find packaging, where there is 1 gram. Such a package is considered the largest, because with this batch you get about 50,000 lobelia roots. Based on what, it is better to acquire seeds in granules, each granule contains up to 8 seeds. Sowing such seedlings, of course, is much more convenient.
When to plant lobelia for seedlings in 2017, many people know according to the lunar calendar, especially since the plant is not capricious. It is believed that sowing is best done by the end of March, beginning of April, since small sprouts need a warm sun, and just at that time according to the lunar calendar will be the most preferable.
Often when there is not enough sun, seedlings are drawn out, and seedlings become weak, and may even die. As experienced gardeners note, at least 10 weeks should pass from the moment of sowing lobelia and before its flowering.
Undoubtedly, it is necessary to take into account the climate of the region, because often the heat comes much later than we would like. Therefore, do not rush with sowing. If warm weather comes earlier, then, of course, you can start sowing. When sowing lobelia for seedlings in 2017 according to the lunar calendar, many now know that many people have to figure out how to properly sow.
First you need to choose a specific soil, because, as you know, the lobelia seeds are quite small. Based on what, the soil should be light and loose. Some people buy material in a store because any flower land sold there is suitable for lobelia.
You can not sow in frozen ground, it is necessary that the prepared soil has acquired room temperature. It is not uncommon for many experienced gardeners to prevent various diseases a day before sowing seeds shed prepared soil with a hot solution of potassium permanganate.
Usually, lobelia seeds are quite small, on the basis of which, to sow them, of course, is not very convenient. Many, trying to avoid such a time-consuming process, sow with pinches, trying to evenly distribute after. I want to note that you should not be afraid when, after seedlings, large caps of plants are formed, because they are perfectly separated from each other and planted in the ground. In addition, the lobelia can be planted with caps, it blooms very beautifully and is not capricious for transplants.
Of course, when to plant and how to solve each individually. Who can’t sow small seeds, you can buy granules.But, anyway, lobelia will still delight with its charming flowers, raising the mood for each of us.
