Dichondra is a new plant for Russian flower growers. Growing dichondra can give a wide variety of results. Some amateurs are plagued by failure. For others, on the contrary, growing "waterfalls" become permanent "residents" in the design of garden plots.
When growing dichondra, you need to know some of the features of the plant.
- It is necessary to plant dichondra in the garden on the south side, providing the plants with protection from the north winds. She loves light and warmth. The sunny location is taken into account when growing dichondra in pots on the balconies.
- Plants are taken out into the open air in early June, when frost cannot damage them.
- Green-leaved forms grow both in illuminated places and in some shade. Silver varieties without an abundance of light will not give a high-quality color, which is what they are famous for.
- When growing dichondra in flower pots, they pinch the shoots for better branching of the stems. The pinching is done when the lashes are 8-10cm long.
- Dichondra suffers a short drought. But do not bring the plants to complete dryness. Watering dichondra should be timely, allowing the soil to dry out before the next watering. Drainage is required when growing plants in pots.
- Prolonged rains and sharp cold snaps in summer retard the development of plants. They stop growing, their lashes barely reach 35 cm. Dichondra grows best in warm, dry weather.
Plants are distinguished by good endurance, rarely get sick and are damaged by pests. Dichondra does not cause unnecessary trouble for flower growers.
