The malva can grow up to 1.2 m in length, the stockrose can be long from 30 cm to 2.5 m. Mallow flowers can be up to 10 cm in diameter, stockroses - 15-20 cm.

Choosing a place to grow Stockrose.

Despite the fact that the plant is an unpretentious plant, but if you want to achieve abundant and long flowering, as well as for the flowers to be bright in color and large in size, several conditions must be met. The place for growing the plant must be sufficiently illuminated, possibly light partial shade. the absence of drafts is important. The plant is not suitable for waterlogged soil and the proximity of groundwater. This can lead to decay of the root system and to the fact that the plant may die.

Planting in clay soil is not allowed. the best option is fertile light, well-drained soil, with the addition of sand.

It is also important to know when to apply fertilizer. If you go too far with them, then the rapid growth of the plant can occur, the appearance of large leaves, the flowering can become weak.

We are engaged in breeding.

For growing a plant, it is best to resort to the seed method. But its use is possible in different ways.

Stockrose Cathers

We plant seeds in open soil.

Planting can be done in autumn or spring. when to do this is the decision of the gardener himself. In any case, several conditions must be met: Seeds must be planted to a depth of about 3-4 cm. When planting several plants, it is necessary to maintain a distance of 30-40 cm. The plant does not have a high degree of germination (no more than 70%). For this reason, it is best to plant several seeds in each hole. You need to wait for the first shoots 15 days after the sowing. In the spring, the planting of seeds is left for May, when the soil has finally warmed up. However, the plant will begin to bloom only after a year. If you sow the seeds in the fall, you will be able to enjoy abundant flowering as early as the next summer. In the spring, the seedlings should be protected from the onset of frost at night, covered with jars or other means. the onset of thaws can also harm the plant. But if you manage to preserve the seedlings, then you will be able to observe the flowering throughout the summer period before the onset of winter frosts.

We use seedlings for reproduction.

Using this method of reproduction, you can get flowering in the year of planting in open soil. of course, if you can fulfill all the necessary conditions for growing seedlings. The timing of planting seeds for seedlings falls on the end of February to mid-March. Seeds must be planted in separate pots. The sprouts can be very easily damaged by transplanting. The air temperature for growing seedlings should be within +18 degrees.

Watering is necessary only after the soil has dried.

Seedlings of miniature varieties can be planted in flowerpots, floor pots, which you can leave in the garden or at home.

Plant seedlings in open soil only after the threat of winter frost has passed - mid-May.

Stockrose care

The plant is demanding about self-care. It is necessary to comply with the basic conditions for caring for the plant. Watering should not be excessive if there is a prolonged absence of rainfall. It will be necessary to periodically apply fertilizers using "green fertilizer", which is prepared using various herbs.

Faded flowers will need to be removed.

High varieties will need to be tied to a support, because under the weight of flowers with large sizes, the branches may begin to break.

Many gardeners may wonder what should be the care of the plant after the flowering period is over. growing a plant in the southern regions, where the winter is warm, you do not need to take any additional measures.

However, in the regions of the middle lane, as well as in regions where the winter period is rather severe, the plant needs shelter for the winter period with the help of dry leaves or branches, or using special means for shelter. Diseases and insect pests. The plant has a fairly good immunity against various pests. as for diseases, most often the plant is afraid of rust, against which the use of special fungicides helps well.
