How to Grow Alpine European Violet Seeds. Varieties and care of alpine violets. Cyclamen Care

In late winter, when most flowers are already resting, cyclamen blooms with beautiful, very delicate flowers. At good care flowering lasts a very long time - from September to March. The plant is capricious, reacts sharply to the slightest change conditions of detention. If you decide to purchase an alpine violet, carefully study how to care for cyclamen at home.

Tuberous perennial. The leaves are wide, ideal proportions, with patterns. The flowers are bright, unusual - they rise above the foliage on long peduncles, resembling fluttering butterflies. The size and color of the flowers depend on the variety.

In nature, an ephemeroid plant - the aerial part lives for several months, dies off, only a dormant tuber remains in the ground. The dormant period of cyclamen grown in an apartment is not so pronounced. Hybrid varieties have been bred that grow and bloom almost all year round. Types and varieties of cyclamen differ in appearance, shade, flower size, bush height. They are short (up to 15 cm), medium-high (up to 20 cm) and standard (up to 30 cm) in size.

Advice! When buying a tuber, check with the seller for the flower variety and age. Carefully inspect the nodule from all sides. A healthy tuber is resilient, hard, heavy, with buds in the upper part. When buying a plant, pay attention to the elasticity of the leaves, the smoothness of the surface of the tuber. It is better to acquire a plant at the very beginning of flowering - in the fall. Choose an instance with unopened buds.

Home and garden varieties of cyclamen

In nature, there are more than 50 varieties. In culture, mainly hybrid varieties are used.

Cyclamen garden - a group of varieties suitable for growing in open field. As garden culture it is recommended to use Kuznetsov's cyclamen, Kossky, small-flowered, ivy-leaved.

Important! Why doesn't cyclamen bloom? The lack of flowering indicates a high temperature in the room, a lack of nutrition and light. To stimulate flowering, the plant is moved to a cooler place, sprayed daily, ventilate the room. Application of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers is recommended. Products containing nitrogen are temporarily excluded.

Features of care and conditions of detention

The flower is capricious. It requires increased attention, compliance with all the rules of care. The slightest violations in the mode of maintenance lead to diseases and death of the plant.

Lighting	Likes bright light, but painfully reacts to the sun. At midday hours, they are sure to shade. In winter, the need for lighting is not reduced.
Location selection	It is recommended to grow in the eastern and western windows. With south side provide shading. north side not suitable for cyclamen placement.
Temperature	In summer, there are no special requirements for temperature. Keep at normal room temperature. The room is regularly ventilated, drafts are avoided. In winter, the upper temperature limit is 12°C.
Watering	Moderate watering is recommended. During flowering, water carefully - do not allow overflow and complete drying of the soil. The need for watering is determined by the degree of soil moisture.
Humidity	Prefers moderately high humidity. Sprayed regularly in phase active growth, with the onset of flowering, spraying is suspended. To increase humidity, place bowls of water around the pot, spray the air, avoiding moisture on the plant. In winter, do not keep near radiators and other heat sources.
top dressing	Alternate fertilizing with mineral fertilizers and organic matter. The optimal frequency of fertilization is once every two weeks. The fertilizing period is from the moment the leaves appear until the beginning of flowering.
The soil	The soil for cyclamen is light, breathable, nutritious. Lack of aeration quickly leads to rotting of the tuber. Use breathable substrates of coarse-fiber peat. It is allowed to use ready-made soil mixtures for violets. Optimal composition- leafy soil, humus, peat and sand.
Transfer	Around the end of June with the advent of new leaves. European cyclamen is transplanted in March. They try not to disturb the ivy cyclamen - they leave it in the same pot. A cyclamen transplant has its own subtleties. In Persian, the tuber is deepened by half, in purple, it is completely covered with earth. For a while, watering is limited - moisten moderately until signs of growth appear.

Breeding technique

Reproduction of cyclamen is carried out in several ways. The technique varies depending on the type of plant.

• Rosettes. Experts call them "horns". They are a shoot coming from a tuber. It is separated along with part of the tuber and planted in light, moist soil. Until rooting, cover with a jar or plastic cup. Keep at room temperature, water, air. Roots appear in two to three weeks. All "horns" do not break off!
• daughter tubers. Used for European cyclamen. Additional nodules form around the tuber. They are separated, planted in loose soil. Keep under cover of glass or polyethylene. Care consists in watering, maintaining heat, airing.
• By division. Divide adult dense specimens. The tuber is cut into two parts. On each of them leave shoots and roots. Slices are densely sprinkled with coal powder, left to dry for a day. Placed in light soil. Moisten the soil moderately - even a slight waterlogging leads to decay. Difficult and risky breeding method. Even experienced flower growers use it in extreme cases.
• Seeds. It is easier to grow cyclamen from seeds at home. Seeds are sown in December. No pre-treatment not required. The temperature is maintained at 20-22°C. The appearance of the first shoots - in one and a half to two months. Pick in the stage of two real leaves. The resulting nodule during a pick is completely covered with earth. The first flowering is 13-15 months after sowing.

Important! Reproduction by leaf is the most inefficient way. Inexperienced flower growers make attempts to root the leaf by analogy with the propagation of gloxinia or saintpaulia. Leaf cuttings usually do not take root - they turn yellow, rot and die.

Diseases of cyclamen

Violation of the conditions of detention weakens the flower, provokes the development of diseases. Many of them end with the death of the flower.

Disease	Description	Fight
Fusarium wilt	Fungus. Cyclamen leaves turn yellow at the top, sometimes only on one side. Characterized by gradual withering and death.	Watering the soil with a solution of "Fundazol". Spraying with Topsin-M.
wet rot	Bacterial disease. Characterized by rapid wilting, the appearance of a putrefactive odor. The roots are rotting. Infected from other plants or through water.	The plant is destroyed. It is impossible to revive him.
Gray rot	The causative agent is a fungus. Weakened specimens are affected. Provoking factors - improper watering, high humidity, cold. It is manifested by the appearance of gray mold, yellowing of the leaves, their darkening and dying off.	The affected parts are removed. The flower is treated with systemic fungicides. Watering limit, regularly ventilate the room.
Anthracnose	Fungus. Progresses during the flowering period. Peduncles are deformed, stop growing. Flowers don't bloom. The fungus spreads to the leaves, causing them to twist and gradually dry.	The affected parts are removed. Keep in a dry place. Treat with fungicides three times with weekly breaks.
sooty fungus	It is found after the defeat of the flower by aphids or scale insects. The plant weakens, stops growing, the leaves dry.	The leaves are cleaned of plaque with a 2% solution of green soap. Additionally, spraying with a fungicide is carried out.

In nature, this plant grows on the slopes of the Alps, hence its name.

Temperature and light conditions

Cyclamen prefers cool rooms. Ideal temperature for growing European cyclamen is +12+17°C. AT summer period support such temperature regime it will be quite difficult, so we must try to organize such conditions under which the temperature will not rise at least above + 25 ° C. If the room is hotter, the flower may fade.

winter pot with an alpine violet flower, you need to keep it away from radiators, but provide it with a lot of light. Drafts can have a bad effect on the condition of the plant, as well as the direct rays of the sun falling on its leaves. The room where the plant is located must be regularly ventilated.

Humidity and watering

Spray given plant not necessary, but if the room temperature is too high, you can lightly spray the air itself around the flower.

Such a measure helps well in cases where the temperature in the room is higher than recommended, and the flower can thus endure the heat.

Caring for alpine violet watering should be done very carefully. It is impossible for water to fall on the flowers, shoots and tubers of the plant - this can lead to its death.

During flowering Water frequently, but make sure the soil is not too wet.

During the dormant period You need to water much less often, only when the soil is already dry enough. Experienced flower growers recommend pouring water directly into the pan.

Used for irrigation soft water, preferably settled for about a day, or filtered.

top dressing

fertilize cyclamen it is necessary at least twice a month, using complex mineral fertilizers. This applies to adult plants - young cyclamens do not need to be fed at all. Do not fertilize cyclamens during the dormant period. Add manure to fertilizer strictly prohibited, as this can lead to rotting of the plant.

Transplant and soil

transplant alpine violets can only be carried out during the dormant period - preferably in the second half of summer.

Pot not very large is selected for transplantation - from the edges to the tuber there should be about 3 cm of free space.

In too spacious pots, cyclamen can rot tubers, as a result of which it almost does not bloom.

To the bottom of the pot a good expanded clay is laid, and then the soil mixture is poured. The soil is selected as follows: perlite, leaf earth, peat and sand in equal parts.

Before immersing the plant in fresh soil, you need to carefully ventilate the tuber while removing damaged, dried and rotten roots. It is impossible to completely immerse the tuber in the ground; it is advisable to leave it one third above the soil.

Immediately after transplantation, cyclamen needs a lot of light, but with watering you need to be careful - until young leaves go, you rarely need to water it.

reproduction

Reproduction of cyclamen produced in summer, after it has already faded. The plant is carefully removed from the pot and cut into pieces. It is necessary to ensure that a part of the root and a kidney remain on each division.

After this procedure tubers dry thoroughly in a dark place. The cut sites should be treated with an antiseptic, which is suitable charcoal. After drying, the separated parts are planted in small pots.

Diseases and pests

For alpine violets, in violation of the rules of care, the following signs are characteristic. Leaves wither and turn yellow- the air is too dry, or the temperature in the room is higher than recommended.

Sometimes such symptoms indicate that the plant has been exposed to direct sunlight, or a lack of watering.

Rotting flower stalks and leaves- too much water, or water entering the surface of the tuber during irrigation.

The plant fades too quickly - lack of fertilizer, or too high a temperature. It is required to rearrange the pot in a cooler room and establish regular top dressing.

Leaf tips turn yellow, flowering stops - the plant or soil is affected by the fungus. It is required to immediately treat cyclamen with the European preparation "Topsin-M", and also add a solution of foundationol to the water used for irrigation.

All over the plant appear dark spots or white coating - infection with rhizoctonia or gray rot. It is required to transplant a flower by treating the soil with fungicides, as well as temporarily reduce the frequency of watering.

The most common pests of alpine violets are thrips, and cyclamen mite. Preparations against pests - Fitoverm, Aktara, Spintor, etc. will help to cope with them.

In addition to its excellent appearance, cyclamen also has some medicinal qualities. Based on the extract of this plant, drugs are used to relieve inflammation, reduce migraines, to treat sinusitis, and also as sedatives.

General description and types of cyclamen

Cyclamen or alpine violet- This small size tuberous perennial with wide leaves and unusual bright flowers. The leaves of the flower are distinguished by ideal proportions and various patterns. The flowers of the plant rise above the foliage and can be small or large, with a wide variety of colors.

Natural flowers are ephemeroids. This means that the leaves and flowers grow only a few months of the year, and the rest of the time the tuber of the plant sleeps underground. There are currently many hybrid varieties alpine violets, which can grow and bloom almost throughout the year.

All cyclamens are divided into two types and many varieties that differ in color, doubleness and size of flowers and the height of the plant itself.

Height are divided into three groups:

• undersized grow up to 15 cm;
• medium high - up to 20 cm;
• standard - up to 30 cm.

Persian is distinguished by a thickened tuber spherical shape, from the lower surface of which roots depart. The leaves of the plant are round and green tint with silver or grey. On long juicy peduncles, graceful large flowers, which are very look like butterfly wings. The lifespan of one flower is about ten days. However, during flowering, about 100 flowers can bloom on a plant, so it blooms Persian cyclamen extended period from October to March.

It is recommended to fertilize at home during watering with special fertilizers for flowering plants. However, it cannot be abused nitrogen fertilizers, an overabundance of which will negatively affect the quantity and quality of flowers, and will lead to a strong growth of foliage.

Rest period care

After the plant has flowered, its leaves begin to turn yellow and fall off. This is the first sign that the flower is entering a dormant period. At this time, at home, alpine violet requires special care.

After flowering, the life of the alpine violet is supported by its tuber.

Transfer

Plant care at home includes a flower transplant, which is usually done in the summer. At the same time, it is necessary follow some rules:

• after transplantation, the upper third of the tuber of the plant should remain above the ground;
• transplantation is carried out in a pot, which should be 2-2.5 cm larger than the previous one;
• the soil can be prepared independently by taking leafy soil for this, river sand, humus and peat in proportions 3:1:1:1;
• before planting on the bottom of the pot, you must first pour a layer of expanded clay, then add the prepared soil, on which to place the plant and sprinkle it on the sides with an earthen mixture;
• watering the plant can be started only 10-12 days after transplantation;
• in early September, when young leaves begin to form, the flower must be rearranged in a cool but sunny place.

Causes of diseases

It can be a shame if you took care of the plant at home in compliance with all the recommendations, but the flower still began to wither. In this case, most likely Some rules have been broken:

Often pests can be the cause of wilting. Deformation of flowers and leaves may indicate that the plant is attacked by aphids, thrips or mites. In this case, processing by special means is required.

Cyclomenia roots are prone to rotting, so they only moisten the bottom layer of earth in a pot. When watering cyclamen, you should be extremely careful. Do not get on the organs of the plant and in the center of the outlet. You can water by immersing the pot in a container of water for fifteen minutes.

When watering, make sure that the flower does not rot due to residual water in the leaves.

When cyclamen blooms (autumn-winter), it watered with distilled water. At the end of flowering, the amount of water is reduced, and during dormancy, watering is stopped.

Cyclamen thrive in cool and humid environments. It is not placed near heating appliances, otherwise the flower will get rid of the leaves and hibernate.

To increase the humidity of the air, a container filled with wet pebbles is placed near the flower. Before the buds appear, cyclamen is sometimes sprayed.

How to feed a plant for flowering

Feed cyclamen during flowering and active growth. Comprehensive mineral fertilizer helps to grow leaves during the period of active development.

You can feed twice a month. With the appearance of a bud, the amount of nitrogen is reduced and potassium and phosphorus are added.

Choosing a pot for planting and soil

For cyclamen, prepare the soil with a neutral or slightly acidic reaction. To obtain the necessary substrate, leaf, soddy soil, sand and humus are mixed in equal proportions. The soil must be well drained.

The pot is plastic or ceramic. The average diameter of the pot is fifteen centimeters. When transplanting, choose a pot two centimeters larger in diameter than the previous one.

Why rest is important for care

The dormant period for cyclamen begins in summer. It lasts for about two to three months. With the onset of the dormant period, cyclamen stops growing. His leaves wither, which are removed completely dried. Water less, the plant is not sprayed or fertilized. It is placed in a place with penumbra.

At rest, the cyclamen tuber sheds all leaves.

During the dormant period the tuber gets rid of all the leaves, but may leave multiple instances that cannot be deleted. Cyclamen is placed in a dark and cool room with a temperature not exceeding twelve degrees.

They do not refuse watering: the tuber is watered twice a month.

Avoid waterlogging, which will lead to root rot. As soon as the plant releases new leaves and buds, the dormant period will end. Cyclamen is returned to a bright place and watering is increased.

The procedure for transplantation is as follows:

Reproduction of indoor cyclomen

In the conditions of the apartment cyclamen not easy to breed. It is often grown from seed or propagated by dividing the tuber.

Reproduction of cyclamen by dividing the tuber at home is possible

Before planting, do not forget to check the expiration date of purchased seeds.

Mature seeds are stored for two months, then they are sown in the substrate, having been soaked in Zircon beforehand. The substrate is prepared by mixing leafy soil, peat and vermiculite in equal proportions. Seeds are placed on the surface, sprinkled thin layer earth and placed in a room with a temperature of twenty degrees.

If temperatures are higher, planting material will go into hibernation, and if lower, it may rot. Seed containers regularly ventilate and moisturize.
