Features of caring for grass

Plant care is not burdensome and difficult. Considering the fact that clove grass is rather unpretentious, it consists in preventing the flower from growing in waterlogged soil (otherwise the roots will begin to rot, and this, in turn, will develop fungal diseases). It is also very important to apply phosphorus, magnesium, nitrogen and calcium fertilizers depending on the time of year.

Planting Carnations

Planting is one of the most important stages in the process of growing a flower. Despite the fact that most varieties of Carnation are herbaceous perennials for open ground and do not require special care (an example of this variety is Allegory), it must be replanted every 3-4 years.

This is necessary in order to preserve the decorative properties of the flower, namely: a presentable appearance of the plant, since the bush grows randomly and the decorative role disappears.

This plant loves dry non-acidic soils. Before planting, the soil should be cleaned of weeds, seedlings must be soaked in a chemical solution that protects against pests and diseases. If the gardener decides to plant Clove grass in the watery soil - it is worth adding limestone and sand.

Growing grass from seeds and seedlings

Annual and biennial varieties are grown from seeds. Since the plant is frost-resistant, seeds can be planted in the winter, as a result of which the grass will rise already in mid-March. If we are talking about sowing in the warm season, the period is from April to the end of May. Cloves completely take root only in loose soil at a small elevation - this is due to the fact that water in such soils never stagnates, and this very favorably affects the vital activity of the plant.

When planting cloves of grass, you should consider some of the disadvantages of growing from seeds:

The size of the seeds is too small to be able to maintain uniformity of sowing.
In the spring, due to constant temperature changes, weeds grow very quickly, which from the soil absorb everything necessary for growth.

Grass seedlings are very fragile and delicate, so in no case should it be planted under frost - the bushes simply will not survive. Usually seedlings are planted in long grooves or holes.

It is recommended to plant seedlings in groups in open ground for 6-8 pieces. The distance between them should be from 15 to 30 cm.

Vegetative propagation of a plant

Division of the bush - one of the types of propagation Carnations of grass. The flower grows, while exposing the center, after which it must be dug up and divided into small bushes. The next action, which will provide Clove grass with good conditions, is the placement of seedlings in the ground, on their further habitat. They do not require special care, it is only necessary to water and loosen the earth around the bushes, enriching the soil with oxygen.

Pest and Disease Control

Disease / pest	Manifestations	Remedial measures
Alternariosis	The formation of brown spots and dark green plaque on leaves and stems.	The plant dies, as this disease is not treatable.
Fusarium	Brown color on the stem. Yellow spots appear on the leaves, as a result of which they begin to dry.	It is recommended to pour lime into the hole. It is worth considering that the plant will be saved, but the flowers on it will not bloom.
Rust	Red-brown swellings on the leaves.	The affected parts must be cut off and then the clove is treated with fungicides (chemicals for combating fungal diseases).
Thrips, Bears	Deformation of the leaves, the appearance of brown or brown dots.	Too damaged areas must be cut. Change the topsoil, as there may be thrips larvae. The next step in salvation is spraying the plant with chemicals.
Cockchafer, scoop, rodents	Traces on leaves and stems of a plant.	In the case when the carnation has caused minor damage to the grass, treat with fungicides. If the plant is damaged by more than 50%, it will not be possible to save it.
