Work of gardeners in the open field in April 2020

In April, crocuses, kaluzhnitsa, and blueberries begin to break out from under last year’s grass. Tulips also enter active growth, forming their future buds. So that their stems are long and the glasses are large, you need to make nutrient mixtures for the bulb with nitrogen content, loosen the soil and water it.

Remove the foliage with which perennial specimens were mulled, so that the flowers feel spring warmth. When the soil warms up, it can again be covered with mulch so that it does not dry out under sunlight.

Rose care

Foliage also needs to be removed from roses, covered with non-woven material. Flowers over the winter have become unaccustomed to sunlight and wind; they can destroy them. If there is shelter, open it to the side for ventilation. When the soil warms up, the roots gain strength, shelter can be removed. Cover removal. Pruning.

Hybrid tea, polyanthus and floribunda roses need to be cut to wood. In park varieties this needs to be done only with respect to frozen ends.

Other colors care

It is also necessary to cover nonwoven material with specimens that winter with green leaves (yucca filamentous, mahonia holly and others). From the sun it is necessary to protect the needles of fir, juniper, arborvitae.

When perennial specimens grow (asters, stonecrops, chrysanthemums, etc.), you need to see which ones need division and transplantation. This does not apply to varieties blooming in spring and June. Work on them is done in the fall.

It is advisable to divide and transplant chrysanthemum bushes, which are over 2 years old. If this is not done, a lot of thin shoots will appear that will break under a gust of wind, without having time to bloom. On dividends there should be 1-2 strong shoots. They will grow rapidly and give buds already in the same season.

In order for the delphinium to plant strong, tall stems and large inflorescences, it needs to cut the weakened shoots. This should be done while they are only 5-8 cm high. Only 2-3 strong stems should be left, and the rest should be cut off at the very root neck, placed in growth stimulants and planted in the cuticle for rooting. Top with a sand layer of 5 cm.

Landing in the open ground of new specimens

At the beginning of the month, plant roses and cut their shoots so that nutrients do not go into the aerial part without getting to the root system. If this is not done, the flowers may die. Amaranth

In April it is already possible to plant annuals (tagetes, zinnia, petunias, amaranth and others). This should be done under a film shelter. On warm days, the film needs to be opened for ventilation.

Attention! Humus cannot be added to the soil, so as not to provoke the development of the disease, the black leg.

Annual specimens resistant to cold (eschscholzia, cornflowers, Iberis, scabiosis, chrysanthemum, etc.) can be immediately planted in a permanent place and not covered with anything.

In April, one-year asters are also allowed to sow. You just need to choose varieties that are resistant to various diseases. Of course, asters sown right on the street will bloom later than seedlings. But they will delight you with flowers in the fall, the bushes will turn out more magnificent and more resistant to infections. Planting gladioli

In open ground, you can plant tubers of gladioli. Choose a site where these flowers have not been grown for several years. Before planting the bulbs, clean, treat with insecticides. Old and sick (with a flat bottom) can not be planted, you can throw it away.

Work florists at home

In April, you need to take care of the seedlings located in the room. Instances planted in February should be fed with complex fertilizers for flowering plants (2-3 g per 1 liter of water). Fertilizers should be applied during watering, avoiding contact with stems and leaves.

To seedlings, sown in March, in separate cups, cassettes or seedlings. Plant small shoots at a distance of 2.5-3 cm from each other, and large ones at a distance of 4-5 cm.

A couple of weeks before landing on the street seedlings begin to temper. Those. first put into the air for 10 minutes, gradually increasing the time. During walks, shoots must be shaded from direct sunlight, covered from the wind.

In April it is already possible to plant seedlings of cloves Shabo, left-handed, sweet peas in open ground. Even if there are frosts, nothing will happen to the plants. They withstand temperatures up to -5 ° C.

Layout of dahlias

How to spread tubers for germination:

• Rinse them, cut damaged areas.
• Place for 10-15 minutes in a solution of potassium permanganate.
• Treat with growth stimulant.
• Put tightly to each other on a layer of wet peat or scalded sawdust.
• Cover the nests of tubers with soil mixture, leaving the root neck open.
• Put in the brightest place in the room.
• After the places of growth of the stems become noticeable, divide the nests (1-2 sprouts and a part of the old shoot should remain on each tuber).

Helpful information! Young shoots of dahlias can be planted on the street in late April. If suddenly the frosts return, they need to be covered with a film or non-woven material.

Gardening of balconies and loggias

For this purpose, you can use pansies or daisies. April will be the best time for them. These flowers do not like stuffy rooms, so in June they will have to be dug up and transplanted into the open ground. Instead, it will be possible to plant pelargonium and petunia.

Houseplant Care

If indoor plants need a transplant (the root system does not fit in an old pot, the soil has become unusable, etc.), incl. transshipment method, this must be done in April. After the manipulation, the flowers must be poured with zircon or processed on the crown with Epin Extra. Continue feeding, but not earlier than 3 weeks after transplantation. Flowers need to get used to a new place and enter growth again.

If the transplant is done later, the plants will tolerate it more painfully. When it is not possible to carry out such work, it is necessary to at least replace the top layer of the soil mixture.

Some gardeners are skeptical of the lunar calendar. However, those who adhere to it, note that the implementation of the recommendations favorably affects the cultivation of flowers. It’s easy to follow the tips, so you can try to do it and make sure that they really benefit.
