Герань: спасти и сохранить - Садовое обозрение:
Что нужно сделать. Чтобы оживить любимую шерань?
Во-первых, очистить растение от засохших соцветий и листьев.
Во-вторых, тщательно промыть листья и стволики, чтобы удалить возможные споры болезней и вредителей. Используйте для этой процедуры Зеленое мыло.
В-третьих, следить за влажностью почвы – для пеларгонии одинаково критичен как недолив, так и перелив. Почва всегда должна быть влажной на глубине 2-2,5 см от поверхности, т.е. верхний слой лучше держать сухим.
В-четвертых, нужно сделать восстановительный полив.
Для этого возьмите литровую банку, налейте до плечиков теплой фильтрованной воды, добавьте 30 г живых дрожжей и столовую ложку сахара.
Накройте салфеткой и поставьте в тепло перебродить в течение 2-3-х дней.
Слейте 100 мл настоя, растворите в 4-х литрах воды, размешайте и поливайте пеларгонии под корень 2 раза в неделю в течение месяца.
Для одного растения достаточно 500 мл раствора на один полив.
Смело используйте эту подкормку и для других комнатных растений.
Далее уход обычный для зимующих на подоконнике растений.
А как сохранить пеларгонии, если места на подоконнике мало, а растений много?
Лучший вариант – обрезать низко растения и поставить прямо в горшках в сухой прохладный подвал.
Но можно и облегчить работу.
Для этого растения вытаскивают их почвы.
Предварительно подсушив, отряхивают с корней грунт, обрезают надземную часть низко, подсушивают срезы и каждое растение заворачивают в газетную бумагу.
Затем растения складывают в ящик и помещают в сухое прохладное помещение – опять-таки в лучше в подвал.
В конце февраля зимующие в подвале растения осматривают, тронувшиеся в рост переносят на свет и начинают постепенно формировать.

How to grow cosmos flowers .
How to grow cosmos flowers - Saga:
Cosmos varieties
Pink and white cosmos
Widely available varieties of Cosmos bipinnatus
‘Purity’ (100cm/39 in)
An old single white, but still effective in September light when it looks gloriously fresh.
‘Sensation Mixed’ (120cm/4ft)
A mixture of single colours in shades of pink-red through to white. It’s tall and stately so not as useful in smaller gardens.
‘Sonata Series Mixed’ ( 60cm/2ft)
A shorter cosmos, but with equally large flowers, so this is good at the front of the border, or in a container, or grow for cutting. Sarah Raven has an all-pink version ‘Sonata Pink’.
‘Sweet Sixteen’ (90cm/3ft)
This picotee-edged cosmos has pale petals edged in deep-pink and each flower has some extra petals at the heart, giving each flower a frilly look. ‘Sweet Kisses’ seems very similar.
‘Seashells’ (120cm/4ft)
This taller cosmos comes in a mixture of pinks and whites, but the petals are almost cylindrical or fluted.
‘Cupcakes’ (up to 90cm/3ft)
This is very special, with dished flowers consisting of fused petals that look like cupcake cases. The whites turn blush-pink and many of the flowers have extra petals. Bred by Thompson & Morgan.
‘Hummingbird’ (45cm/18in)
A very new Dutch-bred series with fluted petals on larger flowers. There’s a pink and a white and this is far better than ‘Seashells’.
‘Daydream’ (90cm/3ft)
A white cosmos with powder-pink centres - adored by flower arrangers.
‘Double Click’ (100cm/39in)
This Dutch-bred series was the first to contain semi-doubles and doubles and they look very aster-like. However they do get very heavy-headed in summer rain, and can flop. In good summers they add much to the vase and garden and the flowers last for a long time because thy can’t be pollinated.
‘Xanthos’ (60cm/2ft)
Soft-yellow blooms on compact plants, so perfect for the front of a border or a container. Very new and very well-thought of, this May-flowering cosmos bred in Holland has been given a Fleuroselect Gold Medal this year. You can buy seeds or plugs.
'Apollo' (60cm/2ft)
A brand new British-bred variety, these cosmos flowers come in shades of pink, white and purple.
