Agricultural technology for growing Ipomoea seeds
1. Variety selection
When choosing a variety of Ipomoea, the following factors must be taken into account:
- Purpose of cultivation: For cultivation as an ornamental plant, varieties with beautiful flowers are selected, which can be painted in various colors, including blue, white, pink, violet and purple.
- Winter hardiness: Morning glory is a heat-loving plant that does not tolerate frost.
2. Soil preparation
Morning glory is a light-loving and moisture-loving plant, so to grow it you need to prepare a sunny and well-drained place.
The soil for planting Ipomoea must be fertile and neutral or slightly acidic.
3. Landing
Morning glory can be grown either by seedlings or by sowing seeds in open ground.
When growing seedlings, morning glory seeds are sown in March-April in seedling boxes or containers. Shoots appear in 7-10 days. Seedlings are planted in separate pots or cups in the phase of 2-3 true leaves. Seedlings are planted in open ground in May-June, when the threat of frost has passed.
When sowing seeds in open ground, morning glory seeds are sown in May-June, when the soil warms up to +15 °C. The seeding depth is 1-2 cm.
4. Plant care
Morning glory is an unpretentious plant, but to obtain good growth and development, the following measures must be taken:
- Watering: Morning glory is a moisture-loving plant, so during the growing season it is necessary to regularly water the plants, especially in hot weather.
- Fertilizing: During the period of active plant growth, 2-3 fertilizing with mineral fertilizers is carried out. The first feeding is carried out in the phase of 3-4 true leaves, the second - in the flowering phase, the third - in the fruiting phase.
- Weeding: It is necessary to weed regularly so that they do not choke the plants.
- Loosening: It is necessary to regularly loosen the soil around the plants to improve aeration and moisture permeability of the soil.
5. Harvest
Morning glory begins to bloom in July-August. Ipomoea blooms until the end of September.
Additional Tips
- To obtain earlier flowering, Ipomoea can be grown as seedlings.
- To increase the decorativeness of the plant, you can shape the bush.
Additional information
- Morning glory is a perennial vine that can reach a height of 3-5 meters.
- Morning glory is one of the fastest growing plants.
