Koala (flower): germination, transplant, care

Flowers koalas (callas) have long been associated with such an event as a wedding. Today they are more popular than ever. They look great in pots, in open ground and in cut form. Koalas, home flowers, impose low operational requirements. If you want to grow a calla in your garden, it is better to do it from a bulb, which has fleshy roots (rhizome). Or a less expensive option is to grow a plant from seeds.

First of all, you need to prepare them for planting. Place several layers of a wet wipe on the saucer. Spread on her light seeds of callas and cover them with another wet layer of tissue. Place the dish in a dark, cool place. Check the fabric for moisture, but the tissue should not be so wet that the seeds do not start to rot. A few days later the seeds begin to germinate, if for some reason some did not germinate, discard them.

Then fill the small pots with soil for flowering plants and plant the seeds at the rate of two seeds per pot not too deep. Place the pots in a warm place with diffused sunlight. Water should be very carefully and in small amounts (to avoid decay of seeds). If the soil is too dry from above, spray the water through a spray gun to keep the seeds moist and not moist. Germs appear in a week, and even a month later. When the seedlings have risen, you need to examine them and abandon the weak in each pot. In the development of saplings, as well as an adult flower, warmth, moisture and sun are needed.
