Common chubushnik - we grow from seeds

 

Many amateur gardeners or ordinary beauty aesthetes, looking at the photo where the common mock-orange is depicted, think that this is a real jasmine and are deeply mistaken, because these are two completely different types of plants. Although they belong to shrubs, their flower formula is completely different. In jasmine, these are narrow oval petals with two stamens, and in chubushnik, flowers are wide and rounded, collected in a brush and have 20 or more stamens. So, we figured out some of the differences, now we will get acquainted with how to propagate it by seeds.

Common chubushnik - a unique ornamental shrub is able to reproduce with all its parts: root suckers, seeds, cuttings, dividing bushes, seeds that can be stored for about a year and they can still germinate if stored in glass containers.

If you are a fan of watching the seed give its shoots, then here are some important facts for the successful sowing of mock orange:

  • Sow them in late autumn or winter.
  • The temperature should not be below -10 degrees on the day of sowing.
  • Wind is also undesirable
  • The beds must be prepared in advance, their depth will be 25-30cm
  • Cover with straw or small twigs / twigs
  • Then compact with strong branches on top of this flooring
  • When spring comes, we carefully remove our "structure" and create a light shadow for the young shoots, because the plant itself is sun-loving.

If for some reason you do not have the opportunity to do winter planting, then in the spring you can plant seeds, but only in a greenhouse, having previously kept the seeds in water for three days. In this case, you will have to maintain optimal humidity (do not flood with water, but also so that there is no dryness) and shading. After the shoots they dive (about 7-12 days).

By the end of the season, you should already have sufficiently grown and strengthened seedlings. Common chubushnik belongs to winter-hardy plants, so you shouldn't worry about what will happen to it next winter.

With the onset of the next summer cottage, the shrub must be drastically cut off - almost completely remove the aerial part, then the density of tillering is provided to you. In the autumn of the same year, the common mock-orange seedling is ready for transplantation to a permanent "place of residence".
