Flower growers' work in May

In the last month of spring, all the mistakes that were made when planting earlier become noticeable. Some of them will need to be replanted, some bushes will need to be divided.

Tagetes

Attention! Specimens that bloom in spring and early summer should be replanted with caution, using the method of transshipment with a large earthen lump. Only those flowers that open buds in the fall can be divided and planted.

If there are mistakes in the design of a flower garden, they can only be corrected by planting annuals.

May is a favorable time for sowing:

• Tagetes thin-leaved (another name for marigolds) is the optimal solution for decorating the foreground. Its lacy greenery and yellowish-brown flowers will become a decoration. The plot can also be sown with larger varieties of tagetes, for example, deflected or erect.
• Sanvitalia - shoots with flowers of warm colors fill all the free space around. They fit beautifully on paths and borders without interfering with the growth of other plants.
• Japanese zinnias - snow-white, pink baskets will appeal to lovers of discreet, discreet beauty. They differ from other varieties in their miniature size. Each daisy-like flower stays on the stems for a long time.
• Gypsophila graceful - looks great next to lilies.

These annuals will take the petunia a little into the background. However, there is nothing wrong with this, because... This flower is too bright, it will be pleasant to look at it at a short distance.

Petunia

In May, the tulips are already blooming, so you don’t have to dig them up. Then you need to plant annuals between the bulbs that will cover the drying leaves of these flowers.

Watering will not harm the roots of the tulips; they will bloom again next season.

Bulbs can only be left in the ground as an exception. Still, it is better to dig them up after the leaves turn yellow and store them in a dark room so that they can be replanted next year. This is especially true for highly decorative varieties.

In their place, you can plant annuals and phacelia.

Phacelia is used as green manure

Note! Daffodils, crocuses and other spring flowers with small bulbs can only be dug up after they have formed a dense clump and are producing poor blooms. Read on our website how and when to dig up bulbs.

Transplanting

In May, flowers that were grown in indoor and greenhouse conditions can be planted in an open area. Before this, the seedlings need to be hardened, i.e. before planting, take it out into the fresh air for a week “for a walk,” gradually increasing the time. If this is not done, many specimens will die.

Those plants that were grown in a common container especially need hardening, because... their roots are disturbed before transplantation, the seedlings become weakened and will not be able to cope with sudden temperature changes.

It is recommended to pick flowers from containers in the evening or in cloudy weather. Cover with a covering material for a couple of days so that the May sun does not burn the tender greenery.

Helpful information! Additional seedlings can be obtained by thinning out the seedlings planted in April, without throwing away the sprouts, but by replanting them in another place. This must be done so that the flowers have a decorative appearance and do not form thickets.

Fertilizer application

In May, flowering plants need organic fertilizers (1:10 solution) and mineral mixtures (1 tbsp per bucket of water). Fertilizers are applied taking into account the age of the bushes; the older they are, the greater the amount of nutrients needed.

In the second ten days of May, you can add mixtures for planted dahlia seedlings.

For reference! For a five-year-old peony bush, 10 liters of organic matter are needed, the same amount is added for 3-4 young specimens. Smaller perennial plants (for example: phlox, astilbe, etc.) need 1 liter of nutrient mixture.

Watering

Regular watering is necessary:

• daisies;
• pansies;
• aquilegia;
• delphinium;
• gladioli;
• dahlias;
• clematis.

Mallow and gaillardia can be watered less frequently.

Annuals also need varying amounts of watering. Sweet peas, lobelia, and nasturtium do not tolerate dry soil. Cornflower, verbena, dimorphotheca, purslane, eschscholzia, zinnia, and scabiosa tolerate drought well.

Landing

In May, you need to finish planting gladioli bulbs. For them, it is necessary to choose a site where they have not grown for several years.

At the beginning of the month, plant canna and dahlias. If they were grown in a room for seedlings, cover the planted bushes with non-woven material.

Lawn care

If the weather is hot, your lawn requires special care.

Source: www.autopoliv-gazon.ru

The lawn should be watered at least twice a week and actively growing weeds should be destroyed. In May it is time to trim the grass.

Read about spring lawn care. And in order not to look for information about the lawn, its planting, care, etc. from different sources, we advise you to read everything in one place. Our editors have launched the book LAWN WITH YOUR OWN HANDS, in which we tell you step by step how to get an excellent lawn. If you are interested in this, then read on>>>

Rose care

Cut out the rosehip shoots from grafted bushes. To do this, you need to slightly rake the ground away from the sprouted stems, pull the shoots out of the ground and cut them with pruning shears as close to the trunk as possible.

Read more about caring for garden roses on the Mister Summer Resident portal.

Caring for peonies

In May you need to prepare peonies for flowering. To make it lush, leave only one of the largest buds on each stem, and pinch the rest. If peonies will not be cut for bouquets, perform the manipulation only for the smallest flowers. They still won’t have time to bloom, they will simply dry out and take away nutrients.

If bouquets are to be made from peonies, they need to be cut when the buds are half-opened. At the same time, it is necessary to leave as much greenery on the bushes as possible. Without it, plants will not be able to accumulate in the rhizome the nutrients that are needed for the formation and formation of new buds.

Installation of supports

Climbing plants need support; its construction cannot be put off until later.

Ipomoea (including quamoclite), sweet peas and other vines need support immediately after emergence. If this is not done, the plants will begin to cling to each other, intertwine and lose their decorative appearance.

Helpful information! For clematis and campsis, you need reliable support from reinforcement. For climbing annuals, you can use a specialized plastic mesh, which is sold in garden stores.

Balcony landscaping

On balconies and loggias in May, you can abandon the classic version of landscaping (petunias, pelargonium) in favor of aromatic herbs, for example, parsley, celery, basil. This will not only allow you to have a harvest of greenery, but will also look decorative.

Plants can be planted in separate containers and placed in a common box. Sprinkle the soil with sawdust or peat to prevent the root system from overheating in the sun. If the herbs are regularly trimmed without allowing them to bloom, they will remain decorative until the fall. Then the pots can be brought indoors for the winter harvest.

In May, you can bring indoor plants to the balcony. Impatiens, ferns, asparagus, fuchsia, eucharis should be kept only on a glassed-in loggia, shaded from the sun's rays. Crassulas, cacti, euphorbia, and aloe also need to be protected from ultraviolet radiation by providing diffused lighting. Ornamental plants will be more resistant to adverse environmental influences, diseases and pests. They will decorate the site for the entire growing season.

Tips and tricks

Spring is in full swing and there is a lot to do and do during this period. Indoor flowers require special attention, which at this time it is advisable to inspect, carry out rejuvenation measures, remove dried leaves and damaged shoots and stems.

Some indoor plants need emergency replanting, changing the soil and fertilizing. In the spring, it is better to choose fertilizers with enough nitrogen so that they happily grow new foliage. The lunar calendar will help you choose the right days to care for your pets.

All domestic flowers, and not only they, are especially vulnerable during the periods of the new moon and full moon. These days are always considered prohibited for manipulating plants, but first of all, listen to your intuition: whether you want to do anything on these days or not, do not neglect the advice of professionals, water and feed as needed, but regularly, taking into account recommendations of the Lunar calendar, this will not be difficult and will benefit the plants. All the best and love.
