Cynicism. Growing amazing colors brings joy

The birthplace of this flower is Mexico. The ancient Aztecs gave him a peculiar name, which is translated in no other way, as "bad for the eyes." With the advent of Europe, flowers have received an incredible array of nicknames - "flower for all" or "flowers of the poor" and many others. From the nicknames go to the name - this is cynicism. Cultivation of this plant and gave so many nicknames. The flower is one of the most unpretentious ornamental plants with which the practical every European house was decorated. We will talk about what the zinnia is (growing, varieties, care).

From how early in your region spring begins and depends when planting the zini. As a rule, the seeds are embedded right into the soil immediately after the first freezing. Plant recommended to a depth of 7 mm. The flower grows quite quickly and after 5-7 days the first sprouts are already visible. When the length of the shoots is about 10 cm, the planting should be done in such a way that the distance between the future flowers is at least 15 cm. This will ensure sufficient air circulation, and the flowers will look great for the whole season.

The possibility of planting in areas with a cool climate is not ruled out. Cultivation of seeds begins 6 weeks before the supposed termination of frosts, and in containers. There is also a special trick. All the time containers, where planted cynia, the cultivation of which kind of presupposes the presence of heat, should be carried out daily for several hours on the street. This allows you to temper the plant. After the done procedures and frosts can be safely transplanted the flower into the open ground.

You should also know how to grow chinese in the middle zone of Russia. Sowing begins not earlier than the first or second decade of April. Germination of seeds occurs in 3-5 days. When it is noticeable that the plants begin to press each other, they are divided into different capacities and only in early June (early days) they are transplanted into the open ground.

In the case when you have ready-made saplings (sprouted zinnia), the cultivation begins with the fact that you need to trim the plants a third of the length and then plant. In this case, you increase the survival rate of "newcomers" several times. And all you have to do is watch how plants grow rapidly and decorate your flowerbed with their flowers.

Anyway, but all plants are subject to undesirable influence of the environment and even cynicism. Cultivation provides for the creation of good air ventilation, not only to improve the overall appearance of planted flowers. The long distance between the seedlings will reduce the possibility of the appearance of mildew powdery mildew. A greyish white scurf will also appear if you have not watered the plant or if you just picked a variety that is vulnerable to this disease.

A significant threat to zinnia is the May bug. Consider, bright flowers (yellow, orange, red and others) of these insects are practically not interested. But white and green, on the contrary - the desired delicacy of this pest.

Among the most common and persistent varieties of zinnia, we can distinguish the following:

1. Benary's Giant - bright flowers of a large size. The height is about 1.2 m. Blossom from August to the first frosts. Flowers are not susceptible to such a disease as downy mildew.
2. Zowie.'Gold Flame is a plant of medium height (up to 75 cm). Color of the flower is red with a gold addition.
3. Profusion - a whole series of hybrids, which consists of an incredible array of monochrome colors. Compact dimensions are perfectly combined in the elements of landscape design. Strong resistance to diseases and drought was noted.
4. Crystal or Star - a series of compact colors (adult shrub in size 30 * 30 cm). Extremely unpretentious. The plant is resistant to drought and many diseases. The time when to plant the cynical of this series, does not have any differences from the above-mentioned brethren. Everything is as usual, only in a compact size and with a high degree of unpretentiousness.

Cut flowers of zinnia for an incredibly long time retain their properties. So you can decorate not only the appearance of the house, but also create a cozy atmosphere in each of its rooms. Plant flowers and give yourself a good mood every day.
