Agricultural technology for growing Legustrum seeds
Privet (Ligustrum) is a deciduous or evergreen shrub that is native to Europe, Asia and North America. The plant is known for its decorative leaves, which can be green, variegated or golden. Privet is also a good honey plant.
1. Choosing a landing site
Privet is a light-loving plant that can grow in both shade and sun. However, in the shade the plant will be less lush and less decorative. Privet does not tolerate drafts and strong winds.
2. Soil
Privet prefers fertile, well-drained soils 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
Privet can be planted by seeds, cuttings or seedlings.
Sowing seeds: Seeds are sown in open ground in 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.
Cuttings: Cuttings are cut at the beginning of summer and planted in a greenhouse or greenhouse. Rooting occurs within 2-3 weeks.
Planting seedlings: Seedlings are planted in open ground in spring or autumn. Seedlings are planted at a distance of 0.5-1 m from each other.
4. Privet care
Watering: Privet needs regular watering, especially in hot weather. It is necessary to water the plant abundantly, without allowing the soil to dry out.
Feeding: Privet needs regular feeding. It is necessary to feed the plant 2-3 times a month during the growing season. Mineral or organic fertilizers are used for fertilizing.
Pruning: Privet needs regular pruning, which is done in spring or fall. Pruning allows you to form the crown of the plant and maintain it in a decorative state.
Diseases and pests: Privet 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.
5. Reproduction
Privet is propagated by seeds, cuttings or layering.
Seed propagation: Seed propagation is carried out in the spring.
Cuttings: Cuttings are carried out throughout the growing season.
Layering: Layering can be done in spring or autumn.
Privet is used to create hedges, borders and other landscape compositions. The plant is also well suited for growing in containers.
