Campanula terry mix. Care
Let's see what difficulties stand in the way of fans of bright bells. After all, these plants have special needs. If you take them into account, then cultivation will not be difficult. Firstly, terry campanula - ampelous plant. This means that its shoots should hang freely. Many inexperienced housewives try to fix them in the form of a vine, which is absolutely impossible to do. Campanul was nicknamed the “shooting stars” precisely for this effect: large bright flowers are randomly distributed over the hanging shoots. The plant needs to divert a well-lit corner, but pritenit paper or gauze from direct scorching rays. The sun is necessary for the flowering campanula, but it also makes the leaves wither and turn yellow, and weak buds cannot open due to overheating. Daily humidification is necessary to care for this plant. In addition, you need to wipe the leaves with a clean, important cloth. Make sure that this fabric is not pre-washed with aggressive synthetic powders - they should prefer soft products. Otherwise, chemicals may irritate the delicate leaves of the terry campanula. Watering should be moderately heated with rainwater, adding it in small portions.
Fading buds and yellow leaves must be carefully removed. Campanula reacts ambiguously to top dressing. On the one hand, she needs her. But the dosage is very difficult to calculate correctly. You need to start with a small amount of diluted mineral fertilizers. And then carefully monitor the condition of the plant. If it improves, you can slightly increase the dose.
Campanula propagation
In winter, young shoots appear around the stem. Moreover, if the stem is old, it may begin to die. It is important to preserve new plants, but carefully separate them from the wilting part. Fresh shoots should be transplanted into a separate container, having prepared for it a special soil - six parts of turf, three parts of leaf humus and one peat and sand. Put crushed charcoal in a container for drainage.
