How to propagate a dicenter?
There are several ways to plant a dicenter in your garden. Most often, vegetative propagation methods are used:
- cuttings ;
- dividing the bush;
- reproduction by parts of rhizomes (root cuttings).
It is recommended to grow dicentra from seeds only for breeding purposes and obtaining new varieties.
In Russian conditions, the plant does not have suitable pollinating insects, so seeds are set very rarely and in small quantities.
But in horticultural firms you can buy bags with seeds of species and breeding dicenter.
Growing from seeds is not particularly popular, because with this method of propagation, the plant blooms only 3-4 years after sowing.
It is produced directly into the ground before winter, covering crops with lutrasil. It is advisable to sow late, when the soil temperature will not exceed + 15 ° C. They will rise only in the spring.
If seed is purchased in winter, sowing can be done in February-March. Germination occurs at a temperature of + 18 ... + 20 ° С after 1 month.
After the appearance of 2 true leaves, the seedlings can be split into separate pots. In May, you can already plant the grown dicenter.
Dicenter, planting and care in the open field which are carried out according to the general rules, will delight with long flowering.
Vegetative propagation of dicentra involves the use of parts of the bush. The dicenter is beautiful, or graceful, and also its relatives tolerate a transplant well once every 3-4 years (in spring or autumn). In this case, you can disassemble the bush into several separate ones, planting them in other places in the garden.
Green shoots are used for cuttings. Dicentra splendid reproduces in this way only in early spring.
Equipment selection
When creating an environment for keeping future pets, you should make sure that the fish are comfortable. It is worth considering that any square or rectangular tank suits the inhabitants of the underwater world much more than a bank or a rounded container that distorts the vision of the world. A miniature aquarium needs to be equipped with protective glass, installed away from drafts, contact with direct sunlight.
It will be impossible to do without additional life support systems. The higher the density of the aquarium population, the more intensively you will have to monitor the purity and quality of the water.
From the equipment, you will have to purchase the same set that is required for the full-size version. Among the necessary components:
- a filter or pump with an aerator;
- a heater, it is better to immediately choose an automatic one, with a thermostat;
- a carbon dioxide supply system;
- lighting equipment.
If you have no experience and special knowledge at all, you can purchase a nanoaquarium with a completely ready-made set of equipment. But it will be much more useful to independently gain experience in choosing the right components. Pumps with or without a small sponge are not suitable for use in a tank containing fish. In this case, much more productive equipment is required with a throughput of 8-15 standard aquarium volumes per hour
It is important that the filter does not create a strong flow of water
An important requirement is the availability of protection against the ingress of small aquatic inhabitants into the filtration system. Optimal model - compact, demountable, with a convenient washing system, in harmony with the landscape
This category includes indoor filters with open sponges or hinged outdoor waterfall systems. A canister model is also suitable, but the intake pipe here will have to be supplemented with a mesh or sponge. An interesting solution can be a phyto filter, in which live plants are added to the waterfall, absorbing harmful substances.
Small aquariums may require additional accessories to make life easier for the fish breeder. So, it is worth taking care of buying a special thermometer fixed on the wall of the tank to measure the temperature of the water. Another useful tool is the soil siphon, which allows you to completely remove any dirt from your aquarium. You will need a scraper to clean the walls of the container, and a landing net for transplanting pets.
