Indoor flowers in autumn care. Indoor plants care in autumn. Watering in the autumn-winter period

Valentina Maidurova December 26, 2014 | 1443

With the advent of autumn, it is time to prepare most indoor flowers for the dormant period. These preliminary works, of course, can take a lot of time, but as a result, they will make it easier to care for pets in autumn-winter period.

My indoor flower garden looks like a map of the world. Here in front of me Europe: cyclamen and hyacinth - plants that are already asking for rest. Near Africa with its medicinal aloe, air-purifying chlorophytum, hardy dracaena and asparagus, beautiful clivia, pelargonium, balsam. On another window sill Asia: unsurpassed ever-flowering begonia and primrose bloom, aspidistra hid in a dark corner, a ficus pulls shoots to the light, a climbing rose hangs from a pot. America represented by cacti, fuchsia, tradescantia. Draws attention and cordilina from australia. Plants from hot deserts, humid subtropics and dry tropics need to be prepared for the winter conditions of our south and middle latitudes.

On the summer period some indoor plants were taken out to the balcony, to the garden, where they were in pots or planted in the soil (coleus, pelargonium, begonia, hydrangea and others). With the onset of cold autumn weather, before bringing them into warm rooms, it is necessary to carry out the following preparatory work.

• Move the plants for 2 weeks to a place protected from rain so that the soil lump in the pots dries up.

• Carefully check the flowers for diseases and pests. In diseased plants, cut off damaged shoots, leaves and treat with one of the anti-disease drugs. All drugs should be used only according to the recommended dosages indicated on the label or in the instructions. The best drugs acting on several diseases at once are Bona-forte, Alirin-B, Gamair. Other recommended fungicides may also be used.

• Treat all plants in order to prevent and protect against pests (aphids, scale insects, ticks, etc.). For processing, you can use Fitoverm, Inta-Vir, Akarin and other chemicals.

• Lower the pots with dried soil into trays of water for several hours. Earthworms, centipedes, enchitreuses and other uninvited animals will leave the pot. After the water drains, disinfect the soil by watering it with a pink solution of potassium permanganate or Fitosporin-M.

• After quarantine, plants with small leaves need to be sprayed clean water, and with large ones - wipe wet wipe from dust.

Placement of plants in the house

In the room, set aside all flower pots that need winter peace (achimenes, amaryllis, gloxinia, hydrangea, cacti, lemon and others), to the side. Without a dormant period, they will not bloom the next year. Therefore, move them as required to a dark, warm or cool dry place, accessible for constant monitoring of the passage of wintering, and (if necessary) moderate watering. The place for their wintering can be a basement, garage, covered veranda or a balcony, a cold room, where in winter the temperature does not rise above + 12-16 ° C.

Some of the plants shed their leaves in whole or in part for the winter. Such plants need to be pruned for the winter. In spring, they will form new young foliage (passiflora, hibiscus). Prepared plants place on window sills, in wall planters, on shelves. In the south or in the temperate zone, indoor flowers tolerate winter discomfort better when placed in a miniature conservatory or in a recreation area. So they are protected from drafts, temperature changes during ventilation, etc.

In small greenhouses or under glass jars plant cuttings of plants that grew in open ground during the summer (primrose, balsam, begonia, pelargonium and others). If desired, they can be transplanted into pots with a root.

August is the season of active work not only in the garden, but also in the home flower garden. Flowers grow, develop, bloom during spring and summer, but by autumn their vital processes slow down.

In order to provide your pets with optimal conditions for winter dormancy, already in August you need to start preparing, work to adapt colors to a short daylight hours.

Lighting Requirements

A lack of sunlight is always detrimental to the growth and life of any flower. It should be understood that almost all indoor flowers come from warm countries, therefore proper lighting for them is essential and vital.

In August, it is already necessary to remove devices that act as shadows from windows. In my case, these are the blinds that I raise. Those pots that were in summer time in the back of the room, you need to start moving closer to the window.

Another factor to consider here is the heat from heating appliances and batteries. In autumn, heating will be turned on in the apartment. Therefore, all indoor flowers must be placed in such a way that they do not receive excessive heat.

I grow violets, so in the autumn-winter period I provide them with additional lighting with a lamp. This allows me to achieve not only winter comfort for flowers, but also active flowering.

Room temperature requirements

Almost all flowers for winter holidays require optimal temperature air in the room. Florists claim that for all flowers in winter time it is better to maintain the temperature in the region of 18-22 degrees.

For flowers such as an orchid, an azalea, the air temperature should be reduced to 16-8 degrees. If this regime is not observed, the flower stalks will not develop and there will be no flowering at all.

When choosing indoor plants, it is worth considering that some specimens require a temperature of 6 to 10 degrees in winter. Such flowers are best kept on insulated balconies.

Watering in the autumn-winter period

In winter, it is extremely important to provide the plant proper watering. At rest, the plant can get sick or be damaged by pests, and only the right air humidity will allow the flower's immune system to cope with any problems.

Watering during this period is best done only after the top layer of soil in the pot has dried. In winter, watering should be kept to a minimum, and flowers such as cacti and succulents I do not water at all from December to March.

If you organize the right watering, then the flower will definitely have the correct laying of buds for flowering and development in the spring.

What kind of fertilizer do flowers need?

The concentration of fertilizers and trace elements in the autumn-winter period should be reduced. I buy special fertilizers for the autumn period. I want to draw the attention of newcomers to the fact that autumn fertilizers should not contain nitrogen, but they should have more potassium and phosphorus.

For plants that don't bloom, I'm generally in autumn period I do not use fertilizers, and starting from August, I gradually reduce their amount to a minimum.

How to create optimal humidity for flowers?

Heating appliances always dry the air. This effect becomes detrimental to flowers. In this case, I advise you to collect in one place those plants that require high humidity and use artificial humidifiers.

The most elementary way will be water in small containers. It will evaporate as needed and create optimal conditions for flowers.

What to do with the plants that were on the balcony?

It is necessary to bring flowers into the house after the summer very carefully. Living on the balcony, they can get diseases, mites, which will very quickly pass to all other flowers. In order to prevent massive damage to flowers, I do the following procedures:

1. I carefully wash the pot in which the flower is located. I remove dried leaves from the plant, wash branches and leaves. by the most the best remedy for the shower is a soapy solution. It allows you to remove pests and clean dust. It is worth remembering that pests are activated precisely in the autumn, so a small number of insects will quickly destroy all the plants in the house.

2. Before bringing into the house, you need to prune the flowers that need it.

3. All indoor plants should be placed in special trays with wet expanded clay to protect the flower from dampness and rotting of the root system.

What diseases can kill a flower in the autumn-winter period

Among the most dangerous diseases that cause the extinction of a flower. Is the rotting of the root system. Unfortunately, it is not possible to see this process right away, and when the system is hit, the flower a short time fades and disappears.

If you reacted in time to the appearance of rot on the root system, then the flower can be saved by applying fungicides that prevent the development of fungus and various diseases in plants.

During the dormant period, it is important to monitor each flower, remove wilted leaves, as they will be an ideal environment for the development of painful flora or pests.

I hope that my small tips will be useful to everyone who takes care of their green flower garden at home.

Proper care for roses in the fall and preparing them for winter will ensure a long flowering in the spring. For a successful wintering, the shrub must absorb valuable substances, and then go into a dormant state. Roses are prepared for the cold in mid-August. If the sprouts turn reddish, then the plant is not yet ready for frost. In the fifteenth of August, watering is reduced. Water is stopped in September.

Watering and fertilizing

If the weather in the region is hot and dry, the plant should be watered in September. Then the water is stopped making in October. The rose tolerates wintering better if the soil is dry. When leaving, you need to take this feature into account. Waterlogging of the roots is unacceptable, especially in the cold season. In August, nitrogen compositions are not applied; instead, potassium-phosphorus ones are used.

Gardeners are interested in how to process roses in the fall. In September, two feedings are carried out. For the first take:

• 2 g of boric acid;
• 8 g of potassium sulfate;
• 20 g of superphosphate.

The components are dissolved in 10 liters of water. This amount is calculated for 5 m². In early October, a composition of 15 g of potassium sulfate dissolved in 10 liters of water is added. Wilted buds are not cut in autumn. If the shrub has small buds, you should open them. In order for the rose to endure the winter well, it is necessary to wait for the buds to ripen.

The horticultural crop must form seeds. Autumn top dressing of roses and preparation for winter should be carried out in compliance with the rules of agricultural technology.

How to prepare flowers for winter

In autumn, the shrub should be at rest. It should be protected from frost, and preventive treatments should also be carried out. In early September, they stop loosening the soil. If the soil at this time passes a large amount of air, the shoots are drawn out.

Before hilling the plant, it should be treated with a fungicide. It is recommended to fertilize in dry weather. It is important to take precautions. Before applying fungicides, it is necessary to remove leaves located at a height of 40 cm. Copper oxychloride is used to disinfect the bark. The composition provides the prevention of fungal diseases. If you take care of the plant incorrectly, powdery mildew will overtake it.

It is worth hilling before the onset of frost. The earth can be sprinkled with ash. The rose is spudded to a height of 30 cm. It is better to use a dry mixture. It consists of the following components:

• priming;
• clean sand;
• sawdust.

Sanitary and shaping pruning

In autumn, the shrub is pruned, the leaves are removed in the twentieth of October. It is recommended to carry out sanitary and shaping pruning. If you correct the crown, garden culture will grow faster.

Sanitary pruning has a number of advantages. Thanks to her, the rose gets moisture longer. The procedure protects against diseases and harmful insects. Improper care in the fall can lead to root rot. The disease is dangerous because it leads to the death of the shrub.

Formative pruning - necessary procedure. There are such types:

1. Short. Leave 3-5 shoots with buds. This type of pruning is practiced infrequently. Maximum length escape should be 18 cm.
2. Average. It is suitable for tea and hybrid varieties. Medium pruning is required for the Floribunda variety, as well as remontant species. The size of the shoots should be 40 cm.
3. Long. Shoots are shortened by 20-30%. This type of adjustment is suitable for climbing roses.

Climbing roses are cut by one third. If the variety is small-flowered, you should just pinch the growing point.

The peculiarity of the climbing variety is that it blooms on last year's branches. For this reason, they are adjusted by 30%. It is recommended to shorten perennial branches by 25 cm. Thanks to this, the stems will grow faster. If the shoots are weakened or affected, it is necessary to cut them off completely.

It is important to follow the rules for caring for roses for the winter, pruning is an integral part of it. Without it, the shrub will not grow well in the spring. When trimming, you should consider some of the nuances:

1. It is worth carrying out the procedure in dry weather.
2. If the bush has a thick stem, you need to correct it with a hacksaw.
3. It is recommended to make cuts at an angle, so moisture will drain.
4. Leaves should be removed after pruning.

Shelter before the cold

To protect the shrub from frost, it is necessary to make a frame and equip it with covering material. Can buy metal structure or make a frame with your own hands using boards and slats. Polyethylene is used as a covering material. It is durable and provides good ventilation if holes are made. Instead of polyethylene, you can use burlap or agrofibre. The latter is well breathable. Agrofibre is used for more than one season. Also used as a covering material:

• dry foliage;
• sawdust;
• spruce branches.

They are suitable for low shrubs. If you do not make holes in the covering material, the plant will be attacked by rodents or overtaken dangerous diseases. The rose must get enough air, otherwise the shoots will suffocate. It is necessary to lay covering material on the ground and bend the branches. The procedure is carried out carefully. The plant must not be injured. Branches can be fixed using metal staples.

It is imperative to cover the rose before winter, plant care in December, January and February is not required.

Hilling - compulsory procedure. Thanks to her, the shrub will better endure wintering.

How to properly prepare indoor plants for the winter dormancy period? The main indicators that we can influence are lighting, temperature, watering.

Daylight is getting shorter, day and night temperatures are lower, nature is preparing for winter seasonal rest. At this time, plants accumulate strength for flowering, growth and development in the new season. If you try to artificially maintain the processes of active life, this will not go unnoticed: many plants refuse to bloom without a dormant period, some will irrevocably deteriorate in appearance, and still others are not able to live at all without a pause.

The first thing to do in the fall, before sending the plants for the winter, is to treat them for pests and fungic diseases with insecticides, acaricides and fungicides, even if there are no visual signs of plant damage. Further actions will depend on the type of plant. But the statement is true for everyone: “Gradually reduce the frequency of watering and stop feeding”. If you do not complicate, then indoor plants can be divided into three main groups. (Table 1)

How to water plants in winter?

The question "How often, with what water and how to water houseplants?" does not have a short and unambiguous answer. There's a lot capricious plants, which are very demanding on pH, mineral and salt composition and other aspects of water quality, on the method of irrigation, the amount of water, but these are topics for separate articles. Today we will talk about how to meaningfully water the most common plants without tedious filtration, collecting melt and rainwater, and other manipulations.

Many chemical compounds(nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, fluorine, chlorine) are dangerous for plants, one of the first places is occupied by chlorine compounds. Under the influence of chlorine, white spots appear on the leaves of plants, which dry and crumble. The maximum permissible concentration for chlorine is 0.15–0.20% for plants, while for humans it is 4–5%. If the water in your area is highly chlorinated, let it sit for at least a day to free it from volatile chlorine compounds. In the Moscow region at the moment the quality tap water high enough to be suitable for watering the vast majority of common houseplants.

First of all, two main questions need to be answered.

First: what group does the plant belong to in terms of water requirements? (Table 2.1.)

Second: in what cycle of seasonal development is the plant? (Table 2.2)

Why do houseplants drop leaves?

Defoliation (leaf fall) is observed only in living plants. At the cut branch, the leaves dry up, but do not fall off. Natural defoliation is a complex mechanism for preparing a plant for a seasonal dormant period. Under the influence of ethylene formed in the plant, the processes of formation organic matter, the amount of protein breakdown products and other compounds moving from the leaf plate to the petiole increases, this causes the separation of the cells of the separating layer at the base of the leaf - and the leaf falls off. So the plant, getting ready to slow down internal processes, reduces the area of ​​​​nutrition and evaporation, and also gets rid of what has become unnecessary, has worked out its life cycle material.

Interestingly, in tropical countries, where all year round the temperature does not fall below +20 ° C; in the winter months, plants also have a dormant period. It is not as deep as in plants of central Russia, but it is necessary for plants.

To focus on the turgor of the vegetative mass of the plant for beginners to determine "is it time to water?" not necessary, since wilting or yellowing of the leaves can be a symptom of both drying out and waterlogging of the earthy coma. (Table 3)

What is the best watering method?

It is best to put potted plants in the bath and pour them liberally from the shower. warm water, let the water drain, then return the pots to their place. In addition to uniform wetting of the earthy coma, this method allows you to regularly clean the leaves and stomata from dust. The fact is that carbon dioxide, necessary for the process of photosynthesis, penetrates into the plant through the stomata, and the dust clogs them, which negatively affects the development of the plant.

Can occasionally be used for irrigation hot shower(+40 ... + 50 С °), this stimulates the plant to grow, but you should not abuse it.

A few important "not":

Do not allow excess water to stagnate in the pan after watering, otherwise you will not avoid root rot, the spread of fungal mosquitoes, weakening the plant as a whole, and even death.

Don't practice lean but frequent watering- an earthen ball should be wetted evenly and abundantly, overdried is not wetted, water often simply flows along the perimeter of its junction with the walls of the pot, without moistening the soil.

Do not water with cold water, this is always a big stress for the plant. It will slow down its growth, drop the buds, and during the dormant period, when watered with cold water, it may even die. Water temperature for irrigation should be slightly above room temperature.

Do not water the plants with a solution of fertilizers or chemicals on a dry earthy coma, this can lead to a burn of the root system and its necrosis, be sure to water well before processing.

Every real owner knows that the garden needs a lot of attention and care in autumn. The work done during these months is intended to cultivate the soil, enrich the earth with the necessary substances and ensure the protection of plants during the winter.

Formation of landscape design

Garden care in autumn includes planting young fruit trees. Since the soil has not yet cooled down after the warm summer time, the roots of young seedlings quickly take root in a new place. Moreover, plants in the fall do not release excess energy for the growth of leaves and the formation of fruits. Therefore, they direct all their strength to the roots. What to plant in the garden in autumn? This is up to you. There is practically no such perennial plant which would not be accepted at that time. Despite the fact that autumn is considered the rainy season, it is recommended not to neglect watering recently, as the wind can dry it out too quickly. upper layer earth.

The best fertilizer

Of course, the garden takes a lot of time and you can prepare the fertilizer yourself. Many people think that the main task of working in the garden in the fall is cleaning up fallen leaves. Their summer residents are usually raked into heaps and burned. This is the biggest mistake. Why burn or throw away life-giving substances, and then separately buy fertilizers, if you can make them yourself? We suggest that you act rationally and do not spend extra money in order to fertilize the garden in the fall. Wait until all the leaves have fallen, then go over it with a lawn mower to chop it well. Further around each tree carefully without damaging root system, make small holes. Experts recommend raking crushed leaves in them. All this will quickly decompose. Our small leaves will turn into an excellent organic additive for the soil. Thus, you will still carry out mulching and insulate the roots of trees for the winter. Here is such a triple benefit for your garden!

Getting ready for winter

Usually no work is done in the garden during the summer. During this period, a considerable number of pests accumulate here. Garden care in the fall also involves the processing of trunks and When is the best time to do this? Immediately after harvesting, fruit trees are recommended to be treated with urea. In this regard, a solution is prepared. We need 500 grams of urea per 10 liters of water.

In cases where scab attacked trees or large quantity the crop suffered from rot, the diseased plant must be treated with copper sulphate. The preparation is simple. Its solution consists of 100 grams of vitriol and 10 liters of water. And the fruits that have suffered from rot must be removed from the territory garden plot. Trees must be carefully dug up. For this, it is better to use a pitchfork so as not to damage the roots. After that, you can fertilize and water the tree. It is not recommended to level the soil after digging. There is an explanation for this. An uneven surface absorbs moisture better after rains and melted snow. They will then perfectly level the ground. These are the tasks that summer residents have to perform, preparing their site for winter. Now you know what to do in the fall in the garden.

tree pruning

Pruning of fruit trees is usually done twice a year. This must be done in the spring and autumn periods. Consider the procedure for preparing plants for winter. Pruning the garden in autumn takes place after all the foliage has fallen, but before the onset of frost. Experts are of the opinion that this process increases the possible harvest for the next year. But you can't overdo it. You better stick certain rules so as not to harm the trees. One of the purposes of pruning is to thin out branches to improve airflow and penetration. sun rays to the entire crown of the tree. And in young seedlings, this procedure is performed to form the correct crown. As for mature trees, their thinning consists in cutting out branches that grow towards the trunk or down. They are not needed. Also remove branches that intersect with others. Thus, the crown is formed correctly. Branches should be evenly distributed in all directions. So the plant will get enough light.

An important factor is the shortening of the branches, which is performed in order to control their growth and set the direction in the right direction. The simplest purpose of pruning is to remove dry or diseased shoots. They need to be removed from the garden and burned. This is done so that the disease does not spread to other trees. Pruning dry branches does not cause any damage to plants. This procedure does not require additional manipulations. But diseased branches are, in fact, alive. The places of their cut for a tree are like open wounds. They need to be processed. To do this, it is best to use drying oil or oil paint. It also does not hurt to water the trees well and add fertilizer to the soil after pruning.

Secrets of the formation of crowns of fruit trees

Garden care in autumn is about pruning trees, as we have already mentioned. But it must be carried out not chaotically, but based on established norms. Do not prune young trees too much. This will slow down their growth and delay the time of fruiting. To form a solid skeleton of a tree, only one main top branch must be left, and all competitors should be removed. If the annual growth of the plant is too weak, then you need to carry out a stronger pruning. There are times when it is better to remove one large branch than to constantly remove many small ones. If the cut diameter is greater than 1 centimeter, then it must be treated with garden pitch, drying oil or oil paint.

Tree pruning should be done after the leaves have fallen and before the onset of frost. There should not be branches that depart from the axis at sharp angles, they must be removed. Pruning each tree is an individual task. The intensity of the procedure depends on the type and variety of the plant. If the tree has suffered from frost, then its haircut should be postponed until spring. Then you will definitely see the affected area. For older trees and shrubs, heavy pruning can be applied to rejuvenate the plant. All waste must be removed from the garden area and burned. All tools must be sharp so that during the procedure they do not pull the bark off the plants.

Tree trunk cleaning

We are more and more convinced that the garden in the fall, the processing of trees requires a lot of time. Attention should also be paid to cleaning the trunks of fruit plants. This type of work is usually carried out every two to three years. Using a metal brush or scraper, you need to clean off the dead layer of bark. But this is done very carefully so as not to damage living tissues. This process also aims to kill pests that often live in layers of dry bark. After cleaning the trunk, it needs to be whitewashed. This is done in order to protect against temperature changes, wind and new pests.

Planting trees in autumn

Many people ask the question: “What to plant in the fall in the garden?” In fact, all fruit trees. You can repot whatever you want in the fall. The most popular plants are apple trees, pears, plums, cherries, apricots. The main thing is to properly prepare the soil and seedlings. Also, autumn is a favorable period for transplanting shrubs such as gooseberries, currants, honeysuckle, raspberries. At the same time, do not forget to water them abundantly and properly fertilize.

The value of autumn work

Garden care in the fall is an integral part of the work of every summer resident. In this way, he takes care of his plants, prevents their diseases, and promotes better tree growth. The quality of autumn work determines future harvest. The condition of the trees after winter will also depend on the preparation for winter. Therefore, do not neglect the autumn work in the garden.

• Loosening must be carried out. Especially in the care of flowers, vegetable crops. Waiting for loosening a week is simply contraindicated for them. Actually, any plant, be it a shrub, a tree or a flower, gratefully responds to the alternation of watering and loosening. After all, the soil in this case is not covered with an airtight crust, and the roots of the plants breathe.
• The specialists of our company competently and on time carry out top dressing. Plants, like people, are deeply individual, each with its own needs.

Caring for an orchard in autumn. Services of agronomists-fruit growers.

All amateur gardeners who want to get a quality crop in season should think about it in the fall. In order for fruit trees to produce good fruit, your garden needs constant care. The most important activities for the care of the orchard should be carried out in the fall. After all, fruit trees must be prepared for winter so that they do not die during severe frosts, winds and freezing rain. Therefore, as soon as the fruit trees have thrown off their leaves, we must begin preparing the garden for winter.

Remove all leaves from the garden area, they may contain insect larvae that have remained for the winter. All the leaves that have not fallen from the trees must be plucked and also removed, because they will rot and various diseases can appear on them, and if you leave them on the tree, the diseases from the leaves will pass to healthy branches. Be sure to burn all the leaves that you have collected in the garden. Carefully examine the trunks of your trees, they will definitely have dead bark, pests also love to winter under it, so you need to delete. Then dig up the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200byour garden, eggs and larvae of insect pests can also be found in the ground. With the help of digging, you will not only destroy all the clutches of eggs and larvae, but also enrich your soil with oxygen. All gardeners who wrapped trees in spring with trapping belts, be sure to remove them from the trunks, you will definitely find insect pests on them.

Now you can start cutting. Pruning fruit trees is one of the most important tree care procedures, because the quality and quantity of the crop that you get in the summer depends on pruning. Basically, dry, diseased, damaged and broken branches from the weight of the fruit are cut off in the fall. If you do not cut all these branches, then your tree will definitely get sick, the disease will pass from diseased branches to healthy ones, infection will get to places where the branches have broken off, and your tree will begin to dry out, because it will lose juice. If the tree is young and does not yet have dry and damaged branches, autumn is the best time for crown formation. Then you need to prune the wrong growing branches. Remove branches that grow outside the crown into the center of the tree and some down towards the ground. Remember that pruning is done in two ways. With one method, the branch is cut at the base of its growth, and with the other pruning, the branch is only shortened. Choosing the right pruning method depends on the goals you want to achieve. The main thing to remember is that improper pruning can lead to the death of the entire tree, but you cannot do without it if you want to increase the life expectancy of your trees and get a good harvest every year. Therefore, call our Garden Pruning company, which employs only professional agronomists with great experience. Our specialists will help you carry out all the necessary work on pruning trees and preparing your orchard for winter. With the help of pruning, you not only increase the yield, but also protect your garden from pests and diseases, the main thing is to collect and burn all the cut branches after pruning so as not to spread the infection to all trees.

To finally protect your orchard from insects and diseases, you will need to treat your trees with insecticides and fungicides. For spraying trees, choose dry weather, when there is no rain and wind, then your treatment will be successful. If you spray trees in the rain, it will wash away all your product and you will have to spray again. Spraying is a dangerous procedure for humans, and so that you do not get pesticide poisoning, be sure to wear a protective suit, remember that it should cover not only the face and hands, but the whole body.

Before winter, you must definitely apply organic and mineral fertilizers under the trees. Then your trees will receive the nutrition they need all spring. With the help of fertilizers, we dramatically increase the immunity of the tree, and it becomes more resistant to low temperatures. The only thing is that nitrogen fertilizers will not suit you in the fall, because they contribute to the growth of trees, and most importantly, when using nitrogen fertilizers, you prevent leaf fall and the resistance of trees to winter frost falls.

If there is little rainfall in the fall, then your trees will need watering. After watering, the soil around the tree should get wet to a depth of at least a meter, and to keep the moisture longer, add mulch after watering and compact it a little. The amount of water required for irrigation depends on the growth and age of the tree.

In winter, strong temperature changes very often occur, which can lead to burns and damage to the bark of trees. To prevent this from happening, whitewash the trunks of fruit trees. Whitewashing is an excellent protector not only from external factors environment, but also protect your tree from insects and rodents. You can buy whitewash at ready-made at the store or make it yourself.

After all the procedures for preparing your fruit trees for winter, you need to cover the tree trunks. Sheltering trees will not only help move the tree very coldy, but the main thing is an excellent protector from small rodents and hares. Use for cover durable materials from tarpaulin, oilcloth, roofing felt. Or you can even use old nylon tights.

Carry out all the work to care for the orchard in the fall and next year your orchard will thank you with an excellent high-quality harvest.

Caring for an orchard in autumn is an agrotechnical procedure that requires professional agronomic knowledge. Contact our garden pruning company for help. Call anytime.

Winter is a difficult period for all plants in the Moscow region, and therefore autumn work in the garden is mandatory and very important. agrotechnical measure. The complex of works is always selected individually for each site, depending on its organization, location, number of green spaces and their biological characteristics. The processing of trees in autumn has its own characteristics that must be known and taken into account in order to keep the garden in a satisfactory condition.

What work is done in the garden in September

The preparation of trees for wintering begins in September, during the period of ripening and harvesting of fruits of late varieties. The grass is mowed or weeded out on the trunk circles, plant residues are removed, fertilizers are applied. The last event is very important, because it is a good start high yield next year. The amount of fertilizer applied is calculated according to the age of the tree.

Under each tree, manure or potassium-phosphorus fertilizers are applied, which will strengthen the root system, increase the frost resistance of the aerial part of the plant.

Fertilizer application rates:

• 2-4 year old tree - 15-25 kg of organic matter / 15-25 g of fertilizer for each year
• 5-8 year old tree - 30-50 kg of organics / 35-50g of fertilizer for each year
• 9-20 year old tree - 50-80 kg of organic matter / 70-100 g for each year.

In the middle or end of September (depending on the temperature regime), the trees are thoroughly watered. Watering is usually combined with fertilization. Along the contour of the crown, a ditch is dug as deep as the bayonet of a shovel. Fertilizers are evenly distributed over it and generously filled with water. After the moisture has been absorbed, the moat is buried.

Gardening in October

October is a very responsible month for gardeners. By October, fruit trees shed their leaves, and it is important to have time to carry out the necessary work before prolonged rains and mudslides.

Cleaning up leaves and debris

The first thing to do is to clean the branches of mummified fruits, remove foliage and carrion from tree trunks, which are an excellent refuge for wintering pests. Remove and burn. It is also necessary to clean the branches from the wintering nests of golden tail and hawthorn and also set them on fire. These and subsequent actions are the most important steps in treating the garden from pests in the fall.

If the garden is well-groomed, the codling moth is not damaged and there are no carrion, then the foliage, as an organic fertilizer and an excellent heater, can be left around the tree. It is only necessary to process the fallen leaves with a solution of urea (5-7%), and postpone the digging of the soil under the trees until spring.

Trunk and crown processing

Trunks should be carefully cleaned of exfoliated bark, in which cocoons of apple codling moths and other pests find shelter. Moreover, it is better to do it after the rain. Wet dead pieces of bark fall off more easily, which reduces the risk of damage to the trunk and improves the quality of processing.

Shallow damage to wood is cleaned of dirt and fungal deposits, treated with 5% copper sulphate, impregnated with a solution of garden carbolic acid (10%), smeared with garden pitch. Hollows - thoroughly cleaned, disinfected with copper sulphate (5%), dried and filled with "seals" of crushed stone / broken brick and a mixture of sand and cement in a ratio of 1: 3.

In October, crowns and tree trunks are sprayed with a 3-5% solution of ferrous sulfate (copper sulfate is best used in spring) to prevent fungal diseases, as well as to prevent the appearance of mosses and lichens.

Digging trunk circles

To reduce the population of larvae wintering in the soil (apple sawfly), they dig up the soil in tree trunks. This must be done carefully. With a highly developed rhizosphere, it is better to use not a shovel, but a pitchfork, since in this case injuries to the root system are excluded and the earth can be made looser. When cultivating the row-spacing in autumn, gardeners in the Moscow region should take into account that agricultural technicians recommend simply turning over the earth layer and not breaking it, since the lumpy soil structure better retains seasonal moisture and contributes to the freezing of larvae and clutches located in the soil layers.

Near the trunk, the depth of digging should be only 5-6 cm, at the border of the crown projection - into the bayonet of a shovel / pitchfork (18-25 cm). If the peripheral root processes with a diameter of up to 1 cm are damaged, it’s not scary, they are easily restored. Larger skeletal roots should be protected from damage. Once every five years, on acidic soils, lime is added for digging (300-400 g per square meter).

Trunk whitewashing

To protect the bark of a tree from the penetration of insects and pathogens that have not yet fallen asleep, from rodents, from temperature extremes, etc., tree trunks and the lower part of the skeletal branches are covered with a thick protective solution.

A solution for whitewashing trees can be purchased at a garden supermarket or you can cook it yourself using slaked lime.

To prepare a protective solution for a bucket of water (10 l) is taken (three options):

• 1 kg of lime and cow dung, 200 g blue vitriol
• 1 kilogram of clay, lime, cow dung, 250 g of copper sulfate
• 2 kg of lime, 200 g of copper sulfate, 100 casein glue.

Repellents (repellents) can be added to the solutions, which include creolin, naphthalene, ethyl alcohol, and rosin. This will save the trees from hares.

For whitewashing the trunks of young trees, a lower concentration of lime is used to avoid bark burns.

November - we warm and protect trees

After the end of leaf fall, the crowns of trees are subject to light sanitary pruning. Only dried, damaged branches are cut. More careful pruning is not recommended. First, the tree does not have enough time to recover from stress (and pruning is a serious stress). Secondly, a heavily cut crown is more susceptible to wind loads and retains less snow cover. Both that, and another threatens with decrease in immunoresistance and, as a result, freezing. After pruning, all cuts and wounds are scrupulously treated with garden pitch.

In November, measures are taken to protect young seedlings from rodents. The bark of trees on a dwarf rootstock is especially juicy and is a real delicacy for them. Therefore, the strapping is made dense, in such a way that mice cannot penetrate under it. A good method of fighting rodents is to lay out tubes on near-stem circles 20 centimeters long and 3 cm in diameter, into which poison is placed.

Hares also pose a danger to young trees in winter. To protect against them, the trunks are wrapped over the insulation with a metal mesh or plastic. Compositions with repellents (repellent substances), which are coated with trunks, have proven themselves well. These substances include creolin, naphthalene, ethyl alcohol, rosin.

The trunks of heat-loving and young trees are insulated with straw, burlap, spruce branches. Trunk circles are covered with branches, leaves with healthy trees, special covering material, a mixture of sawdust treated with nitrogen and peat, compost.

We accept orders for the processing of trees in the fall in Moscow and the Moscow region. We carry out both a complex of works, including picking, fertilizing, processing trunks, digging, spraying, warming, etc., as well as individual types of work to prepare plants for winter.

Features of Moscow Region autumn

In recent years, winters in the Central strip of Russia are very unpredictable and instead of heavy snow in December it can rain, and at the end of February, warming often abruptly changes low temperatures. And in order to provide plants with a comfortable wintering, the processing of fruit trees in the fall should be carried out competently and with special care, taking into account climatic features region.

In the Moscow region, for example, according to recent data, winter comes according to the following schedule:

• The first frosts in the air - 20.09-20.10
• The first frosts on the soil - 10.09-18.09
• Birch leaf fall - 27.09-4.10
• First snow cover - 11.11-25.11
• Stable snow cover - 30.11-30.12

As you can see, the temperature spread is quite large. And certain skills, knowledge, and the ability to observe the weather are needed in order to quickly and efficiently carry out autumn work in the garden.

A beautiful garden requires careful care and maintenance, it is the result of a lot of work. Moreover, work in the garden is carried out all year round. Planting plants does not mean getting a beautiful landscape outside the window. Garden care requires constant seasonal maintenance.

spring

Spring is the busiest time. The beauty and health of your garden depends on how all the necessary work will be carried out. The start time of spring work in the garden depends on the location of the plantings. With the onset of positive temperatures, you can begin to plan work. Garden care after winter is best started with pruning trees. The procedure is carried out when the sap flow in the plant is stopped. It is desirable that the mercury column does not fall below the -5 mark on the thermometer, day or night. First of all, it is necessary to cut off the damaged shoots. Frostbitten branches will not bear fruit. By removing them, you contribute to the faster growth and development of other fruit-bearing branches. Some plants need to be pruned before active growth begins. After flowering, some trees and shrubs will require molded pruning so that they can form new shoots for flowering next year. Pruning work requires special care and accuracy, so it is better to contact specialists. By cutting the shoots, you can collect material for vaccination. Cut shoots can be grafted immediately or wait until sap flow occurs. In the latter case, the chances of survival increase. Further care behind the garden and vegetable garden in the spring is to carry out planting work. Young trees are planted only when the soil warms up in prepared planting pits. Proper care of the garden in the spring includes the following work: whitewashing boles, feeding trees, spraying plantings.

Summer

During the summer, various activities take place in the garden. First of all, it is timely watering. Summer drought can destroy part of the planting. Secondly, it is protection from diseases and pests. Despite all the work done to protect your site from insects, pests can still take up residence on your trees. Sometimes the intervention of a professional phytopathologist is needed to help deal with the existing problem. Next, do not forget about top dressing, it must be included in the care of the orchard.

autumn

Garden care in autumn consists of the same procedures that are carried out in spring, but in reverse order. First of all, the crop is harvested, then the trees are whitewashed. Mandatory and autumn root dressing. It is also necessary to prune trees to remove damaged shoots. All diseased branches should be removed. For a long winter period, plants also need protection. Therefore, it is necessary to install insulating "fur coats" on the trees. If autumn was held full complex work, garden care in winter will become very simple.

Such a volume of work takes a lot of time and effort, and with the current busy and stressful life, they are so lacking. We will prepare the garden in the spring, take care of it in the summer, and clean it up in the fall. Professional gardeners with many years of experience can take care of your site. We are ready to provide quality care to each plant. Our company offers professional assistance in providing the following garden care services: timely pruning and grafting of plants, planting of young and large plants, rejuvenating pruning of old plantings, spraying with fungicides and insecticides, root and foliar top dressing and much more.

The volume and quality of the next year's harvest directly depend on the correctness and timeliness of the work carried out in the autumn to care for fruit trees. Measures to protect them from pests, diseases, fertilizing, digging and moistening the soil in the garden are extremely important work pruning should be done on time - this will make it easier for the trees to enter the winter and help it survive without loss.

The importance of autumn care

Held in right order measures for the autumn care of fruit trees after the end of the harvest help to increase their winter hardiness, that is, the ability not to suffer from any weather disasters - severe frosts, sharp thaws, and most importantly - the alternation of both.

Strengthen the immunity of plants, reduce the volume of branches, protect against pests, diseases, so bring nutrients in the fall so that trees and shrubs, waking up in the spring, could immediately use them - all these works must be carried out in a fairly short time.

Skipping any of the stages is fraught not only with catching up in the spring, but with a lack of harvest or even the death of the entire plant.

Fall garden plan

Proper care of the orchard in the autumn begins in September and should end about half a month before the arrival of frost. In order to have time to carry out all the work on time, it is convenient to take care of the trees in the fall according to a plan adjusted according to the weather forecast in a particular area. The main stages of activity are as follows:

• they remove the trapping belts, clean them and destroy pests, remove carrion from the ground;
• approximately in the second month of autumn, as the cold and rainy weather planting young seedlings;
• fruit-bearing trees are pruned - if the crop is already harvested, the sap flow is slowed down and the plants are getting ready for bed;
• whitewash the trunks and bases of large branches;
• trunks, branches are processed from insects hiding in them for the winter, fungal diseases and rot are prevented;
• carry out the collection and burning of foliage and cut branches;
• they dig up the ground near the berry bushes and in the near-stem circles of trees, make recharge in the form of fertilizers;
• if necessary, trees are insulated and protected from small and large rodents (this is especially true for young seedlings).

Sanitary pruning

The main way to regulate the yield of fruit trees is their pruning. It heals the plant, prevents it from running wild, directs the growth of branches in the right direction and helps to form bountiful harvest. The main burden of pruning fruit trees falls on gardeners in the spring, when the frosts have already ended, but the vegetation has not yet begun. In autumn, sanitary pruning is carried out: after a careful examination, broken, dried branches are removed - these are especially liked by harmful insects. They also cut out shoots that greatly interfere with others, weak and interbreeding.

Tops are destroyed - fattening, with large leaves and weak buds. They usually grow from dormant buds on skeletal old branches. The fruits on the spinning tops are not tied, and they take away the strength from the tree, in parallel thickening the crown. The provoking factor for the appearance a large number spinning tops is overfeeding the tree with nitrogen and watering too much.

Having got rid of excess, unproductive load, the plant directs more energy to prepare for winter cold.

Preventive treatment for diseases

autumn care includes spraying the trunk and branches with medicinal substances. In particular, treatment with copper preparations, ferrous sulfate solutions and Bordeaux liquid, as well as modern fungicides - Kuproksat, Horus, Topsin - allows you to prophylactically protect fruit trees from coccomycosis and other types of spotting.

Treatment with Impact, Strobi, Skor helps to suppress possible foci of scab and rot. Since any wounds, hollows and cracks on the bark of plants are open gates for infection, they are without fail treated with a 5% solution of iron sulphate and covered with cement.

In addition, many insects lay their larvae in the autumn in the bark of fruit trees. This is how the offspring of the apple moth, the ringed silkworm, hope to survive the winter. Dry sheets, as if glued to the branches with a thin cobweb, are a refuge for the caterpillars of the golden tail, the hawthorn. These are just a few of the extensive list of orchard pests. To protect plantings from them, after harvesting carrion, fallen leaves and debris, they clean the trunks and, as far as possible, branches from dead bark with iron brushes. Then all the trees are treated with some of the well-established insecticides - a three- or five-percent solution of urea, Fury, Agravertini, Bulldock preparations (they are especially effective against aphids, silkworms, leafworms and lungworts).

Trunk whitewashing

This is an important factor in caring for fruit trees in the fall. Lime treatment of the bark serves as protection for plants against:

• winter temperature drops, when during the day the bark in the sun heats up, and at night it is affected by severe frosts,
• spring burns, when it is not yet covered with foliage;
• harmful insects laying their larvae for the winter;
• a number of fungal diseases.

The solution for whitewashing should be thick enough, saturated. They cover the trunk and, if possible, the bases of the skeletal branches.

Composition options:

• at home cooking 2 kg of lime is combined with 400 g of copper sulfate. Dissolve in a bucket of water and put in the same kilogram of clay and cow dung. For viscosity, some gardeners add a paste to this mixture, but it cannot be used for young seedlings - the sticky mixture will prevent the tender bark from breathing;
• for young trees, the lime in this cocktail is replaced with chalk;
• purchased mixtures are divided into simple ones - from clay and lime, which are quickly washed off by precipitation, and special paints, which stay on the trunks for a long time and contain special antiseptics for diseases.

Autumn top dressing

It is very important to carry out this procedure correctly. Autumn fertilization is considered more significant than spring and summer: the frost resistance of trees, especially those recently planted, is enhanced, their immunity and fruiting strength are strengthened.

Root top dressing add when digging the earth near the trunk circles. Humus and mineral fertilizers are applied:

• humus by spring it will overheat, and waking up, the plant will receive the nitrogen supplement it needs. For trees less than 8 years old, 30 kg of substance is enough, for adults - about 50 kg;
• phosphorus- sparingly soluble in water, inactive substance. Scattering superphosphate over the soil surface is useless for plants. It is best to bring it into the holes around the trunk along the projection of the crown to a depth of about 30 cm. A handful of fertilizer is placed in each hole, water is added and instilled;
• potassium sulfate- the best potash top dressing, since it does not contain chlorine harmful to plantings. The addition rate is 5-10 g per square meter.

Humus

Simultaneous incorporation of potash and phosphorus compositions is preferable - this way their assimilation is more efficient. The best option for caring for trees in the fall is the purchase complex fertilizers and strict adherence to the instructions for use for different fruit crops.

Fertilizing plants with nitrogen is not carried out, since this element contributes to the activation of sap flow, which harms the winter hardiness of trees.

Features of caring for seedlings of fruit trees in the fall

After planting, young trees must be tied to a stake and the soil is mulched. Digging the trunk circles is carried out carefully, to a depth of no more than 15 cm, so as not to damage the root system.

The tender bark of young stands, attractive to hares and mice, is especially vulnerable in winter. Caring for tree seedlings involves its mandatory protection. To do this, many gardeners tie the stems with spruce branches with the needles down. If this is not possible, best option- purchased fine mesh. It is wrapped with boles, at the same time deepening it into the soil. Another unexpected material is obsolete synthetic tights and stockings.

In addition, to combat mice, you need to clean the garden from fallen leaves and branches after pruning in the fall.

In autumn, there is a lot of work to prepare the garden for winter, but in this way it will endure the frosty period without loss and accumulate strength for active flowering and abundant fruiting.

September is the time for the end of growth and the beginning of the dormant period for many plants. The living conditions of plants are still satisfactory, but they are constantly deteriorating. Their life is gradually slowing down.

Before the first frosts, it is necessary to bring plants into the house that were in the garden or on the balcony during the summer. From coleus, pelargoniums, begonias, you can only take cuttings that are easily rooted in your home. With this, it is necessary to carefully consider the plants, are there any pests on it?

Often in aphids, scale insects, mites are brought into the house with infected plants. Therefore, at the slightest suspicion, treat the plants with FAS, Akarin, Agravertin, Fitoverm, Intavir, etc.

Flowering plants in good weather, when there is still enough sunlight for the growth and flowering of indoor plants, we continue to water abundantly, but only once a week. Plants should not be transplanted at this time. Even if the flower pot is too small, it is better to postpone this operation until spring.

Proper placement of plants

Light-loving species - aloe tree, American agave, three-lane sansevier, we place chlorophytums on the windowsill. We arrange cacti and other succulents near the glass. Shade-tolerant plants - ferns, peperomia, aspidistra, monstera are placed on stands and tables near the window.

We reduce watering

To stop the unwanted growth of indoor plants, when the young leaves that form evaporate a lot of water and provoke leaf fall in winter, stop feeding and reduce watering. Ficuses, aloe and cacti in the second half of September are watered even less often than in winter.

We increase the humidity of the air

Since the beginning heating season Plant life is undergoing dramatic changes. Increased dryness of the air and a short daylight hours are not very favorable for indoor plants. Easily rotting herbaceous plants are especially affected if water gets on the leaves during irrigation. Cyclamen tubers can also easily rot if watered incorrectly: a weak jet of water should not be directed at the tubers. And on the surface of the earth at the very edge of the pot or water it on a pallet. Leaves of palm trees and other deciduous plants should be wiped with water frequently. room temperature or spray. Once a week, the leaves are washed with water under warm shower. To increase air humidity, cuvettes with water or wet sand are placed on central heating radiators, air humidifiers are turned on.

Optimal conditions

Plants. Came out of the subtropics, better tolerate winter in a cool room at a temperature of 10-12 degrees. These include laurel, boxwood, myrtle, ivy, cissus, ophiopogon, etc. Plants are watered occasionally as the earth clod dries, often sprayed and loosened the surface of the earth in pots.

Aphid can cause problems in the first half of autumn, especially if the plant is still blooming. And yet, by the end of autumn, it will probably disappear until spring, when its activity resumes.
