How zimuvzdorné cyclamen

January 16, 2010

Write an article about how to grow hardy cyclamen is not just a simple and uniform matter. You can not generalize all species, because the demands and conditions vary from species to species. Before we discuss each of these beautiful species of tuberous plants resistant, it is necessary to look at the conditions in which different species grow in nature. As I mentioned several times to obtain information about places of origin and the conditions are much easier growing in culture.

Although cyclamen are very tolerant of different soil types, usually prefer slightly alkaline soil. The areas of occurrence are mainly forested mountains of the Mediterranean. Some tubers grow on the surface, others are found in a depth of 10 cm, often on rough rocky ground in loose cymation. It's certainly clear to you how much important is to know what kind of cyclamen in the garden you are actually planted. When determining the type of vague it may happen that will grow in the gravel type, which requires a high leaf litter. It is always very important in the cultivation of cyclamen in the garden to provide very good drainage, otherwise it could lead to rotting of tubers. Cyclamen are very often found in stands of trees and shrubs, between their roots, which not only provide shelter from harsh winds, but also contributes to the excessive amount of moisture. All types will appreciate the inclusion of coarse gravel and debris in marl soil than wild species (C. purpurascens, C. repandum, C. creticum) that require leaf litter or rough compost. Other species such as C. graecum, which grow either in the wild in rocky areas or in the bushes, or between isolation coniferous trees grow well in the fallen needles. Garden bramboříkům meet warm, lightly shaded areas with higher humidity. Hot sun and dry patches in the garden is not suitable for growing cyclamen. It is best planted tubers under the bushes near the conifers, the higher rocks, which give them protection from the sun and excessive drying.

Most species of cyclamen should be planted with protruding above the top of the tuber surface or just below the soil surface. For species flowering in the autumn, it is preferable to spring planting, spring flowering species preferably carbon black in late summer or early autumn. We rely less resistant species in greater depth, between 7.5 cm - 15 cm, depending on the type and size of tubers. When treating a bed during the year we must be careful to damage the roots, which often climb up on the soil surface. We rely very tubers at the time when they are free of leaves. It is always necessary to check whether they are přeschlé tubers. Plants that are in containers can bet during vegetation.

Zimuvzdornost individual species

The order of species in order of suitability for growing outdoors:

First C. hederifolium
Second C. purpurascens, C. coum and C. repandum
Third C.cilicium, C. pseudibericum, C. trochopteranthum, C. mirabile and C. parviflorum
4th Cyprium C., C. graecum, and C.creticum C.intaminatum
5th C. libanoticum

C. parviflorum may be included in addition to C. purpurascens, C. coum and C. repandum in terms of endurance, as resistant species, although in the wild survive very low temperatures under snow cover. They are not as exposed to severe frosts without snow protection. Therefore, in our conditions when holomrazů blanket is required.

C. parviflorum often grows in the melting snow, but it is very intolerant of standing water.

C. graecum has long been considered as a kind unsuitable for growing outdoors. However, it appeared to be resistant to frost, more than expected, assuming that the tubers will be deeper below the surface.

And next time you look closer at the individual species.
