Insects living in the soil of a lemon. Spider mite on indoor lemon. How to fight? Preventive measures and treatment

It may be too late, but you can still have time to sow until mid-December. Also do not forget about sowing, although you can wait until the end of January.

During December-January, primrose seeds can be laid for stratification, for about 2-4 weeks. remina does it this way: “I stratify in the refrigerator, it can be in the ground, but it can be without, as there is a place in the refrigerator, more often in jars on a cosmetic disk - I moisten it with water and put the seeds on it, the disk with the seeds in a jar of cream, and jar in the refrigerator. You can have several varieties in one jar, in the process of stratification I take it out and see how they are there, it happens, but not often. What germinates, I stratify for about a month, but not less than two weeks, then I lay out the seeds in bowls superficially, on the ground or on snow (put snow on top of the bowl on the ground, trample it and spread the seeds on top, the snow will melt, and they themselves will fall into wet ground). In the package - and on the window, until germination. She also noticed that the primrose does not need to be illuminated, last year she stood under a lamp with cockerels, but something didn’t grow very much, but when she put it on the window, she immediately went up, it’s even colder on the window, which is better for her. The seeds will also swell in the refrigerator. Vermiculite can be used iriscas: “I sowed 5 sachets in December last year. Sowed on wet vermiculite. Two weeks on the balcony. One night the ground froze over. I got scared and put them in the fridge. There they began to rise. Germination almost 100%. I left 18 pieces for myself, the rest for a neighbor. All of them survived after the transplant. But in the process of growing lost 3 pieces. They were in my greenhouse on vermiculite for a long time. Accustomed to ordinary air gradually.

Perennials can also be laid for stratification by mixing the seeds with wet sand or vermiculite and putting them in an open container in the refrigerator - these are gentian, columbine, iris, bellflower, astrantia.

Spray them as needed. powdery mildew, thrips, bacteriosis and late blight, viruses. Cuttings can be taken from queen cells. It is better to cut off the buds so that the plants do not waste energy on flowering. Conditions of detention: cool, dry air. Highlighting is required, feeding is very moderate.

It would seem that December is the off season. Yes, it was not there. And although the calendar year has not yet ended, the new holiday season already, still timidly, began to enter into their legal rights.

It is in December that summer residents begin to sow slow-growing crops for seedlings, which take 5 or more months from the moment of sowing to the beginning of flowering. Since the day in December-March is especially short, with early landing supplementary lighting with a phytolamp is required. Otherwise, plant the seeds of these plants only from the beginning of February, when the day will noticeably increase.

We list the main flower crops suitable for December-January planting for seedlings:

Begonias ever flowering

can be planted in seedlings already in the second half of December, and then in May they will delight you with their bright flowering.

Carnation Shabo

(a terry variety of garden carnation) from sowing to flowering takes an average of 5 to 6 months. After the emergence of seedlings, in order to prevent excessive stretching, they must be illuminated daily with a phytolamp. Seedlings develop slowly.

From the end of December, many summer residents begin to sow various varieties of petunias for seedlings. As a result, they can fully enjoy their flowering as early as early June.

Irish rose or eustoma develops extremely slowly for the first 2 months after sowing. At the same time, it is during this period that bright lighting is especially important for her. The plant starts flowering only after 5 months.

Antirrinum large or Snapdragon also begin to sow seedlings from mid-December. In this case, flowering seedlings can be obtained in May. On the 7th-8th day after sowing, friendly shoots appear, but their further development is not very fast.

Verbena hybrid is valued for its long flowering until the onset of frost. Seeds for seedlings can be sown from the end of December and into January.

Summer residents sometimes even sow pelargonium in November. With early sowing, supplementary lighting is required. To enjoy the flowering of primrose in June, it is advisable to plant seeds for seedlings in late December - early January.

With early sowing of autumn gelenium, it is possible to achieve its flowering in August. Planting grown seedlings on permanent place perform in May. To obtain flowering lobelia erinus by the beginning of summer, seeds for seedlings should be sown in December. Seedlings germinate poorly and develop extremely slowly.

From the entire list without experience in December, it is better not to plant anything except eustoma. After the emergence of seedlings, additional lighting is required. All other plants, especially if there is no illumination, it is better to sow in March. .

Many will think, well, what kind of seedlings can there be if winter has just begun? Indeed, the very first peppers and eggplants are sown in February. But now is the time to plant some flowers. For example, in December and January, flowers are sown, the time from germination to the beginning of flowering is 180 days.

Usually this hardy annuals and perennials . It is very important that they bloom in the first year.

Snapdragon- it is difficult to think of a more unpretentious and beautiful flower. Moreover, he has a lot of varieties with a unique color. Sowing seeds in December, you can get flowering seedlings by May. What is very important for decorating a flower garden. Shoots appear in just seven to eight days, but seedlings grow very slowly. However, this does not prevent a pick in a month.


Snapdragon seedlings can be planted in the ground only after hardening. Snapdragon is unpretentious, but loves light very much, so it is desirable to illuminate it. In addition, it is a moisture-loving flower that can hardly tolerate drought.

Verbena hybrid - a very beautiful annual. She used to be a welcome guest in flower beds. Now she no longer enjoys such fame. But it can still decorate the site. The soil for seedlings of verbena should be made loose, with large quantity sand. Seeds germinate for a long time, within 20 days. You can speed up the process if the seeds are kept in a stimulant solution.

It is important to know that the seedlings of this plant are very sensitive to excess moisture. Verbena seedlings are better under-watered than over-watered. When the seedlings get stronger, they dive into separate pots. Verbena is very drought tolerant and cold tolerant, but loves sunlight. Blooms from July until frost.

Gaillardia spinosa - is considered a perennial, but more often it is grown as an annual. Forms very beautiful inflorescences. In the South, it is known by the nickname "Pan Chamomile". Begins to bloom from mid-July until frost.


Seeds are sown four to five pieces per pot. If several rise, leave the strongest. Gaillardia grows only in sunny areas with loose soil. Adult bushes can be propagated by dividing the bush.

Carnation garden - it is difficult to find more luxurious flowers, especially since it is perennial flower. There are both few-flowered hybrids and terry ones, known by the nickname Shabo carnations. Plants do not tolerate transplanting well. Therefore, they are sown immediately in separate pots. They also like well-drained soil and sunny window sill. Sow it in late January - early February.


Delphinium hybrid - seeds are sown in boxes, which are buried in the snow for stratification. In early spring the boxes are taken out and, when the seedlings grow up, dive into separate pots. Planted in a permanent place in the stage of three to five leaves. Plants do not live long, only two or three years, but bloom in the first year. Delphinium - photophilous plant, but can also transfer an openwork shadow, prefers fertile soil. Needs regular small feedings.


lobelia erinus - A beautiful annual. There are short and ampel varieties. It is necessary to sow seeds for seedlings right now - in December. Seeds are not embedded in the soil, but simply scattered over the surface of the soil and covered with glass or film. They need to be grown in the light. Shoots appear very amicably, but only ten days after sowing. A month later they dive.


This plant is cold-resistant, but moisture-loving. Likes loose soil. Afraid of excess fertilizer.

So that flowering pleases you from the beginning summer season and before the onset of frost, it is necessary to plant flower seeds in January, which have a long growing season, for seedlings. Such crops, which are planted later or directly into the soil, will not have time to bloom for a long time this year and will please you for less time. We will tell you which plants can be sown now and how to properly grow healthy seedlings.

Do you want your petunia to bloom as soon as possible? Plant seedlings in January!

In the first winter month for seedlings can be grown:

• Annual crops (petunias, snapdragons and others).
• Biennial crops in annual culture in areas where plants cannot survive the winter cold.
• Perennial crops (primrose, begonia). To get strong healthy seedlings, pleasing colors and a wonderful smell throughout summer period, must be created for seedlings comfortable conditions development.

What conditions are necessary for seedlings

Cultures “observe” biological laws, in violation of which seedlings may grow weak or die, and crops will bloom poorly in the future.

Choose nutritious soil. Disinfect the soil high temperature or potassium permanganate. Purchase ready soil, created individually for each of the flowers.

To grow seedlings, you will need a variety of containers and containers (either purchased or made from home materials). The containers must be thoroughly washed, disinfected, drainage holes should be made in the bottom.

Fill the pots with soil, compact, moisten well and start sowing seeds.

Sowing techniques are varied, depending on the size of the seeds. If the seed is large, then make furrows three to four centimeters on the surface of the earth, spread the seeds in them and sprinkle them with soil. If the seeds are small, scatter them over the surface of the earth, lightly sprinkle with calcined fine sand on top.

Before the seeds sprout, cover the container with a transparent film to create a greenhouse effect, since at this time the seeds need moisture, heat and air.
