Nivyanik

The Nivyanik flower represents grasses, can grow for a year or many years. It is part of the genus Astrovye, in another way they are called - Compositae. Initially, Nivyanik was a member of the Chrysanthemum family. They removed it from there, because the plant does not have the same aroma as chrysanthemums, and its petals also do not have silver marigold. In the resources I have reviewed, I can say that such a family includes from twenty to seventy varieties. Experts called this flower "Leukantemum", which means "White flower", say in Russian "Nivyanik" from the word "niva".

The Nivyanik plant is widespread in Europe and Asia with a climate suitable for the plant. The flower also grows in New Zealand, North America and Australia. In greenhouses, it is often called chamomile. The plant is actual in the collection of bouquets, as well as in the design of the site.

Nivyanik: growing from seeds

To achieve inflorescences already this season, you can plant the daisy with seeds. Seeds are planted in late winter, early spring. Seedling containers can be of different sizes as the plants will be transplanted later. To make it easier to regulate moisture, containers are used small. Then we fill the container with soil for planting seeds, but you can also buy special soil for sowing with peat. Before planting, the container is sterilized with potassium permanganate. The first layer is a drainage system, then it is filled with soil. The container is not completely filled, it is necessary to leave from twenty to thirty millimeters from the edges.

The ground should be even, then sowing seeds begins to a depth of ten millimeters, pour a little soil on top. Then you need to pour everything from the dispenser.

There is no need to close the container, but it must be placed in a warm room at twenty-two degrees. After the emergence of shoots, it is necessary to put the container in a room cooler from eighteen to twenty degrees. with the development of vegetation for a month already, a little fertilizer is added to the soil. When the plant is forty-five days old, it is transplanted into separate containers filled with the same soil and also with plenty of fertilizer. It is important to choose a container, knowing that the plant will grow in it before transplanting it into an open area of ​​land. After transplanting, two days should pass, then the seedlings must be fed in the interval of one month. You can plant vegetation at the end of spring, when all the last frosts have passed. Before planting, it is necessary for the plant to get used to the ground, so in fifteen days the plant begins to winter.

The pits for seedlings of the nivyanik should be from thirty centimeters, and their distance from each other is from thirty to seventy centimeters.The plant is planted in rows, therefore, the row spacing should be from twenty centimeters. The first layer in the fossa should be nutrient minerals, then natural fertilizers. Seedlings are planted with a lump of earth from a container, then the pits are filled with fertile soil.

When planting daisy seeds directly into an open area, the first year the plant will develop roots and leaves. inflorescence can be only after a couple of years. The period for planting the seedbed with seeds is April or September.

Without changing the place of cultivation, the daisy plant can develop for seven years, thus, the place for cultivation must be chosen with special care. The place should be sunny, humid, with a drainage system, the earth should be fertile to a depth of twenty-five to thirty centimeters, you can add black soil. If the land is not as fertile, not moistened, then it will not have as many flowers as expected. In the shade, the plant also develops slowly, do not expect large buds. For planting in light, loose soil, it is worth adding fertilizer. Because such a plant will not take root in ordinary sandy soil, as well as in heavy clay. You also need to ensure that there is no stagnation in the soil, otherwise the plant will begin to rot and die.

Weeding or hilling of the soil is required. Next, you need to mount the grooves at intervals of twenty centimeters from each other. It is necessary to plant seeds to a depth of twenty millimeters. Then cover with soil, moisten regularly. The next day, do mulching, for example, you can cover with peat. As soon as the shoots appear, thinning should be done.

The planted seeds of the daisy in the fall will come out in the spring, and if the seedlings are transplanted to a larger plot, then at the end of August one can observe flowering. If the seed was planted in the spring, then in September there will be small seedlings. They need to be transplanted to a site for long-term development; after the vegetation has taken root, they can be mulched for the winter.
