Primrose transplant: at home and methods of reproduction

Primroses, or primroses, are small-sized herbaceous plants that bloom for several months. Caring for primrose in a pot at home includes a number of procedures, including watering, fertilizing and replanting a flower in a new place.

Transplant Rules

Garden primroses need to be replanted when they grow. If necessary, the home plant is transplanted into a larger pot, if the former is already too small. Primroses have a weak and fragile root system, they need to be transplanted carefully. If a person does not know when it is possible to transplant a room primrose, and acts at random, he can harm the plant.

For watering it is better to use a small watering can

When a primrose transplant is required:

• On the garden plot, the plants have grown, too tightly adjacent to each other;
• The primrose ceased to bloom profusely, the flowering time was reduced;
• The roots of the flower are bare. Such a primrose can freeze in the winter and die if it is not transplanted in time.

If it is decided to plant the flower by dividing, the bush is dug up with roots and washed. The plant is divided into 2-3 parts, the sections are treated with crushed coal. The cut pieces first take root and grow at home, after which they can be planted in open ground.

Flower in open field

Transplanting a garden plant to a new place and planting primrose from a pot is carried out according to one scheme. Flowers are planted in open ground at a distance of 10 to 30 cm from each other.

How to transplant a room primrose:

1. 20 minutes before transplanting, the flower must be watered so that the soil becomes soft and supple;
2. A pot of earth is carefully laid on its side, the plant is held. At the edge of the pot you need to pick up the ground with the roots using a tablespoon or shovel. The plant is pulled along with a lump of earth;
3. 2-3 cm of fine drainage, for example, expanded clay, is poured into a new pot. From above, it is necessary to fill up and compact with your hands 2-3 cm of earth. The soil should completely cover the drainage layer so that the roots do not touch it;
4. The flower is placed in a new pot with a lump of earth so that it stands in the center. The outlet with leaves should remain on top, it does not need to be deepened;
5. The gaps on the side of the flower are filled with earth, slightly crushed by hands.

Dependence on variety and species

Primroses are universal flowers that take root at home and in the open ground. The process of transplanting garden and room primrose is different. A home primrose requires a transplant only if it is a perennial. Varieties of domestic plants that bloom in spring can be transplanted into the open soil in the garden for the winter.

Garden varieties, which include Japanese primrose, orchid and tall, are originally grown in greenhouse conditions. Only in the 2nd year after independent cultivation of seedlings or after purchase they are transplanted into the open ground.

Ear primrose

One of the favorite varieties of gardeners is primrose ear, planting and care for which are practically no different from other varieties. Its distinguishing feature is its resistance to dry weather. In the wild, the ear-shaped primrose grows on rocky terrain. Every 3-5 years it is transplanted by dividing into parts. The plant is small in size, so the bushes are planted at a distance of 15-20 cm from each other. Such large species as the finely serrated primrose are planted at a distance of 25-30 cm.

Time and place

First of all, owners of indoor and garden plants are interested in the question "when to replant a primrose: in spring or autumn?".

Transplant time is chosen based on the type of flower:

• Primrose blooming several times during the season should be replanted after one of the blossoms - in spring or autumn;
• If the plant blooms 1 time in the spring, it is recommended to transplant it in the fall.

Home primrose transplanted in open soil after they have faded. Transplanting into a new pot is also carried out after flowering. You can not move the primrose to a new place when it blooms or during the formation of buds.

What to look for when choosing a place for primrose in the garden:

• Illumination. The flower should grow in good diffused light. Direct sunlight is best avoided;
• Humidity. In open areas, you need to choose flat places, in the hills the plant will dry out. In the lowlands, water accumulates and stagnates, which can destroy the flower;
• Land. Primrose takes root in loose and nutritious soil;
• Neighborhood with other plants. Primrose can be next to any plants, but in regions with rainy weather, the flower needs to be planted in an open area separately.

A place for a houseplant is a new pot that you need to choose correctly. Its size should be 2-3 times larger than the flower itself. Primrose has short roots, so you need to choose a wide, but shallow capacity. It is better to give preference to clay pots or wooden flowerpots - these materials allow the roots to breathe.

Transplant frequency

You can not transplant flowers at your discretion when you want. The plant gets used to its former place, and any change for him is stress.

Transplanting street and indoor flowers has its own characteristics:

• Regardless of the variety, an adult garden primrose is transplanted to a new place no more than 1 time in 3-4 years;
• Household perennial primroses require a transplant every 2-3 years. If necessary, they are transplanted more often, for example, if the flower grows in a small pot.

Rules for home care

The primrose is unpretentious, but it must be properly looked after. After transplanting, the plant needs to be provided with timely watering and a sufficient amount of light.

Watering

Excessive soil moisture is not allowed; watering the plant is necessary at the moment when the upper soil layer is completely dry. In spring and autumn, the plant is watered 3-4 times a week, in winter, watering is reduced to 2-3 times a week. In summer, the soil is moistened daily with a small amount of water. You can use only distilled or purified soft water.

The soil

Primrose loves light and nutritious soil. In the store you can buy a ready-made substrate or mix it yourself from the sheet, turf and peat soils in equal quantities. So that the soil is loose, add 1 part of coarse sand to it. Before use, the sand is disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate or calcined in a pan.

Fertilizer

During dormancy, the plant does not require additional nutrition; primroses are fertilized during the flowering season every 14 days. As a top dressing, you can use complex compositions for flowers that contain enough zinc and potassium. Fertilizers with phosphorus are useful for the plant, it is better not to use mixtures with nitrogen. Primrose does not need a large amount of fertilizer, so the amount indicated on the package is reduced several times.

Illumination

For all types of primrose, it is important to choose a well-lit place, in the shade the plant does not take root well. In the garden it is better to choose places from the western or eastern side, in these places the diffused sunlight that is needed by primroses. It is allowed to plant on the southeast and southwest side of the house next to other plants that will create a small shadow.

Home primrose should stand on the windowsill in rooms oriented to the West or East. You can not put a flower on the windowsill on the south side, the plant will wither due to direct sunlight.

Possible diseases after transplantation

Having figured out when to plant primrose, you need to think about its safe growth. Primroses are vulnerable plants; after transplantation, they may develop viral and fungal diseases.

Downy mildew

Primroses prefer cool weather, because of which they run the risk of contracting peronosporosis. Another name for the disease is downy mildew. The disease occurs when the flower is in open moist soil at a temperature of no higher than 10 ° C. Often, downy mildew appears in spring and autumn, when it rains on the street.

How to recognize the disease:

• The upper part of the leaves is covered with shapeless spots painted in pale yellow or green. The spots can be brown with yellowness, brown or dried, slightly convex in shape;
• Together with spots on the leaves, patches with a powdery coating of white or beige-gray color are formed;
• Over time, the spots change color to whitish, weaken and become soft. Leaves can change shape, bend.

The affected plant is treated with a soap-soda solution 2-3 times a day for a week. For the solution, you need to mix 1 liter of water with 10 g of laundry soap and 1/3 teaspoon of soda. In the fight against downy mildew, leaf treatment with fungicides helps.

Stains on yellow leaves

A common problem for all plants is yellow spots on the leaves. It is not always possible to immediately determine the cause of the problem.

Yellow leaves

PPrimrose arises in the following diseases:

• Anthracnose. The disease affects the entire aerial part of the flower, first manifests itself in the form of light yellow spots with a dark edge. Over time, the spots darken and form hollows. In the later stages of the disease, the plant is completely depleted and dries. The disease occurs if the plant is in acidic soil, or it lacks potassium and phosphorus. If several leaves are spoiled, the flower can still be saved. Bad leaves must be removed, the remainder treated with fungicide;
• Yellow-brown spotting. The plant is covered with rounded spots, painted in a pale yellow color. Often a problem occurs in spring or autumn, when the street is damp and cool. To cure the primrose, you need to remove all the damaged areas and irrigate it with a solution of Bordeaux liquid with a concentration of 1%.

Blurred spots

A common fungal disease of primrose is gray rot, which affects leaves and stems. Wet spots of gray color with a coating over time increase in size and begin to rot. If measures are not taken in time, the flower may die.

Gray rot

What causes the ailment:

• High humidity and high temperature;
• The soil is poorly ventilated;
• Plants are planted too densely;
• Not enough sunshine;
• Excess fertilizer in the substrate.

For planting, it is necessary to use high-quality clean earth mixtures to prevent rot. The affected areas are removed, the plant is treated with fungicides.

A decorative beautifully flowering plant is a long-term primrose, its planting and care at home require accuracy and consistency. Garden varieties are replanted every 3-4 years, home varieties every 2-3 years or as they grow. Proper and competent care will ensure lush flowering for many years.
