Agricultural technology for growing Durantea erecta seeds
1. Choosing a landing site
Duranta can be grown both in open ground and at home.
In the open ground
Duranta prefers sunny places, but can also grow in partial shade. The plant does not tolerate drafts and strong winds.
At home
Duranta can be grown on southern, eastern or western windows. The plant does not tolerate drafts and direct sunlight.
2. Soil preparation
Duranta prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a neutral or slightly acidic reaction. Before planting, it is necessary to dig the soil to a depth of 20-30 cm and add organic fertilizers (humus, compost, peat).
3. Landing
In the open ground
Duranta can be planted as seeds or seedlings.
When sowing seeds, the seeds are sown in open ground in the spring, when the soil temperature reaches +10 °C. The seeding depth is 2-3 cm. The seeding rate is 20-30 seeds per 1 m².
When planting seedlings, seedlings are planted in open ground in spring or autumn. Seedlings are planted at a distance of 2-3 m from each other.
At home
Duranta can be grown from seeds, cuttings or layering.
When sowing seeds, the seeds are sown in a pot with loose, fertile soil. The seeding depth is 1-2 cm. The crops are covered with film or glass to create a greenhouse effect. When shoots appear, the film or glass is removed.
When propagating by cuttings, it is necessary to cut a healthy cutting 10-15 cm long and remove the lower leaves. The cuttings are planted in a pot with loose, fertile soil. The pot is placed in a bright place, protected from direct sunlight. Watering is carried out as the soil dries.
When propagating by layering, it is necessary to bend the lower stem of the plant to the ground and sprinkle it with soil. After some time, roots form at the stem. The cuttings can be separated from the mother plant and transplanted to a permanent location.
4. Caring for Duranta
- Watering
Duranta needs to be watered regularly, especially in hot weather. It is necessary to water the plant abundantly, without allowing the soil to dry out.
- Feeding
Duranta needs to be fed 2-3 times a month during the growing season. Mineral or organic fertilizers are used for fertilizing.
- Weeding
It is necessary to weed out weeds regularly so that they do not choke the plants.
- Trimming
Duranta does not need pruning, but it can be done to form the crown of the plant. Pruning is carried out in spring or autumn.
5. Diseases and pests
Durantu is relatively resistant to diseases and pests. However, in some cases, the plant may be attacked by the following pests:
- Spider mite: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
- Aphids: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to become deformed and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
Durantu is an ornamental plant that is used for landscaping parks, gardens and other areas.
