White rosehip petals in tea. Useful properties of rose hips in folk medicine. What determines the quality of fruits?

For many years, red tulips grew in my dacha, which were left over from the previous owners. They bloomed regularly, although I dug them up from time to time (when I had time). But then I retired and decided to plant beautiful modern varieties. And something doesn’t work out with them. Firstly, for some reason their flower stalks are short, and secondly, they bloom for one season and then disappear, producing only leaves. Maybe I'm growing them wrong? Or is there not enough food? Tell us, when do you need to feed tulips and why do you need to dig them up? Are daffodils grown the same way?

Tulips and other spring bulbous crops begin to germinate and bloom very early thanks to the nutrient reserves in the bulb. Sprouts rise above the ground among thawed patches when there is still a lot of snow in the garden. In fact, roots don't work in cold soil. Therefore, the quality of flowering largely depends on how large and healthy the bulb was.

The bulb itself, in turn, receives nutrition from the roots and leaves. The earlier fertilizing is given, the more nutrients the bulb can store before the dormant period.

The dormant period begins from the moment the leaves turn yellow: for tulips - in mid-late June, for daffodils - in July. Even if you don’t dig up the bulbs, their roots still die off and their nutrition stops. New roots grow only in September, at the time of planting.

Feeding and watering

The first time you can feed the bulbous plants while still in the snow. But this must be done carefully so that the granules do not get on the leaves, otherwise there will be a burn. The second feeding is given at the bud stage. This helps to obtain high-quality cuttings (high stem, large flower). The third feeding should be given after flowering to form the bulb. It is better to use mineral fertilizers, since manure and compost can cause fungal diseases. In dry weather, you need to feed only with watering, so as not to burn the roots.

In general, watering is of great importance for the development of tulips. The weather in May is often dry and hot. During this period, tulips definitely need watering. Unfortunately, this rule is not always followed. In gardens where centralized irrigation is organized, at the beginning of May the irrigation system has not yet been established. As a result, gardeners water only the beds where tender seedlings grow, which cannot do without water.

How does a bulb grow?

As already mentioned, the bulb feeds from roots and leaves. Therefore, when cutting tulips, leave as many leaves on the stem as possible. This is difficult to do when the stem is short, because it is customary to place tall flowers in a vase. It’s easier with daffodils: their peduncle is devoid of leaves, you can cut it right at the ground.

In tulips, the bulb is renewed annually, that is, one or two new and small “babies” grow to replace the old bulb. Naturally, this happens with the participation of leaves. This means that the presence of leaf apparatus is especially important for tulips for normal metabolism.

But if the stem was cut at the root, do not worry, the bulb did not die. By the time of flowering, tulips have already formed a small bulb. She gets some of the nutrients from the old bulb that the blooming tulip did not have time to use. But in this case, the new bulb will not bloom next year; usually it produces only one or two leaves.

Daffodils have perennial bulbs. As a rule, it gets enough nutrition from roots and leaves. The exception is perennial overgrown bushes, where the bulbs are very crowded. In the fall they just need to be planted.

The height of tulips and daffodils is determined primarily by the variety. Varieties with a height of at least 50 cm are suitable for cutting. This makes it possible to cut a flower with a long stem and leave a sufficient number of leaves on it. Low-growing varieties are used for decorative purposes in flowerbeds and borders. When purchasing bulbs, look at the description on the package. The height of the plants must be indicated there.

Why dig up bulbs?

Under natural conditions, tulips grow in a climate zone with very hot, dry summers. The above-ground part of the plant dies off completely, and the bulb quietly “sleeps” in warm, dry soil. In central Russia it rains in the summer, the soil is moist, and the temperature is much cooler.

We can only create a warm, dry dormant period artificially by digging up plants and storing them in a room with a suitable climate (for example, in the attic of a garden house).

If the bulbs are not dug up, the flower bud may not form. This is especially true for modern “pretentious” varieties (terry, fringed, parrot, etc.). This again leads to the fact that only leaves grow in tulips.

Many old varieties bloom without digging for 2-3 years, but then the flowering weakens and the bulb goes deep into the ground. There are several modern varieties of tulips that were bred specifically for the busy and “lazy”: their bulbs can also be dug up only once every 2-3 years. We will tell you about these varieties in August, closer to the tulip planting season.

When it comes to rest, narcissists are more patient. Many varieties can do without annual digging. But it is still advisable to reduce watering during the dormant period or eliminate it altogether (if there are no other plants nearby).

If tulips only grow leaves, they may be affected by a viral disease (pictured). Sick plants need to be destroyed.

Sometimes everything is simpler: the bulbs are deeply planted or have gone into the ground themselves because they have not been dug up for a long time. These tulips can bloom again if you follow the rules of agricultural technology. Water and feed them, and be sure to dig them up in the summer. These tulips bloom the next year or the year after.

The general time period for the appearance of flowers is 20 days, in some cases (depending on the type of rosehip) flowering can occur faster.

Greetings to users of the site irekcomend!

In the summer I often go to my aunt and uncle’s dacha in Ramenskoye. We love to drink tea. And you can’t even imagine how good it is to drink in nature.

And the idea came to pick rosehip leaves and brew them into tea.

1. If you pick them, you need to wash them because there are spiders and small insects. When we put the leaves in the teapot, it turns from fuchsia to white.

2. In addition to the leaves, of course, we add tea leaves and goodies (rose hips, mint leaves, currants - whoever likes what).

3. Wait for it to brew and pour the tea.

Then we went into the forest and saw a whole clearing with rose hips. And they began to collect them in bags. I brought it home and washed the leaves in the bathroom. Then I decided to dry it in the oven. It looked like this. But this method did not work because they did not become dry, but were wet.

Then another method, I put the newspaper on the clothes dryer, table, floor, wherever possible. I washed all the leaves in the basin (there were a lot of them).

And she put it on the newspaper.

The aroma was strong. It's nice when you smell it a little bit, but not when you're in it all the time.

The process looks like this.

Why do they drink tea with rosehip leaves?

Bactericidal and anti-inflammatory agent;

Tannins;

Ascorbic acid;

Fixed oils;

Rosehip leaves are used:

For women's diseases;

For diarrhea and stomach pain;

For sore throat;

Strengthens the body's immune system;

Happiness is when you rarely go to the pharmacy, but you remember and read how our grandmothers were treated? Nowadays, many people think about their health and try to take pills and medications as little as possible.

I live in the Lesnoy town of the Odintsovo district - this is a city of contrasts, country houses and ordinary ones, in the future I will write a review and show it in pictures, there are rosehip bushes everywhere. And not only - sea buckthorn, hawthorn, Jerusalem artichoke, a lot of apples.

For the New Year, I packed the leaves into large candies and gave tea to everyone, you need to be able to save on gifts)
