Fuchsia pests

The main pests of fuchsia are aphids, spider mites, whiteflies, and mealybugs.

Aphid. It is clearly visible, especially in colonies. Damaged plants have deformed shoot tips and curled leaves. They become covered with sticky secretions of insects, on which a sooty fungus settles.

If the number of aphids is insignificant, they can be washed off or the infested branches can be cut off. Severely affected plants are treated with insecticides Biotlin Tanrek, Karate or the biological product Fitoverm (9). Apply pesticides according to instructions.

Spider mites. They pierce the integumentary tissue of the leaves and suck out the juice from them. Therefore, the leaf blades become covered with small white dots, and if severely damaged, they become discolored and dry out. Mass reproduction of ticks occurs in dry, warm air.

Prevention - regular showers. Fight - spraying with infusions of garlic, chamomile, yarrow or acaricides - Actellik, Neoron, Fitoverm (9).

Whitefly. When damaged by whiteflies, discolored, blurry spots appear on the leaves, and when insects multiply massively, sticky discharge appears. Whiteflies are easy to spot, but difficult to fight.

They mainly use insecticides Actellik, Confidor, Mospilan - according to the instructions for the drugs. Plants are treated several times with an interval of 5 days, as new generations of pests emerge from the laid eggs.

Pink indoor flowers: photos and descriptions

Of those flowers that can grow in an apartment no worse than in the fresh air, the palm is held by geranium, which can probably be found in every home. A single long stem with rounded leaves and crowned inflorescences of 8-14 flowers emitting a strong aroma: this is what a classic indoor geranium looks like. In addition to its decorative functions, the plant also has many healing properties: daily inhalation of its aroma in front of the bush for 8-10 minutes stabilizes the state of the nervous system, eliminates insomnia, and relieves stress. For this reason, geranium was considered a remedy that could improve the atmosphere in the house, reduce the frequency of quarrels, and improve mutual understanding in the family. In addition, the phytoncides of this plant have a positive effect on the condition of the gastrointestinal tract, the cardiovascular system, and in the summer it helps protect the apartment from flies.

Such an exotic flower as anthurium, which is an ampelous plant, best takes root near windows facing any side, excluding the south. The flower tolerates shade well, suffering much more from dry air, so it needs to be constantly sprayed. It blooms buds all year round, but is also valued for its large, heart-shaped foliage. The flowers are not inferior in beauty to this greenery: the “Lacetti” variety has a delightful light pink color of single-petal flowers, the same heart-shaped as the leaves. The cylinder-shaped core is most often yellow-green and quite long. To make the colors brighter, it is recommended to fertilize the anthurium with mineral fertilizer in March.

The decoration of an apartment can be not only Pink flowers: which ones to choose for the garden? Just a flowering plant, but also a deciduous one. Irezine, grown in the garden as an annual, lives at home for more than 1 year, has leaves with a beet-pink color and greenish veins. It has inflorescences, but they are not so much attractive as they are unusual: purely in appearance, these balls strongly resemble a ball of woolen threads.

Achimenes is also valued in the apartment. Under natural conditions, it grows in the tropics, so it is not surprising that it does not like harsh winters. In the middle zone it is grown only indoors, where it is possible to maintain the desired temperature. The plant is hanging because the shoots are soft, do not hold their shape and constantly tend to fall down. In addition to the lanceolate dark green leaves, which have a purple color on the inside, the shoots contain small flowers up to 5 cm long and a petal bend diameter of up to 7 cm. Their color is raspberry-pink, the upper petals are slightly smaller than the lower ones, with a corolla every 3 days dies off, giving way to a new one. The flowering period of Achimenes is spring-autumn.

Jacaranda

Jacaranda is a genus of giant plants that contains about 50 species of trees and shrubs. Another name is violet tree, which was given to it due to its bright flowers, reminiscent of the plant of the same name.

The tree is native to Argentina, Brazil or South America. It grows in tropical forests, which means that jacaranda is heat-loving and prefers moisture.

Today the plant blooms in many countries of the world on most continents. It is very fond of many residents due to its beautiful and fragrant flowers. The tree can be found especially often in the Republic of South Africa: along roads, in alleys and in all parks.

The straight trunk can reach 30 m in height, the crown is wide and spreading. In general, the bark has a gray tint, but on young shoots it becomes red.

The large leaves have a complex shape and are 20-30 cm long. They are often confused with the greenery of fern. Each sheet includes many other small ones.

Fuchsia diseases

Powdery mildew. Fuchsias are often affected by powdery mildew, especially in high humidity. Small spots dusted with a white powdery coating appear on the plants. They quickly increase in size, acquiring a brownish or gray color. Affected leaves dry out.

Biological products help against this fungal disease: Fitosporin-M, Alirin-B, Gamair, Pseudobacterin-2, Planriz. In case of severe damage, spray with Fundazol (9) (1 g/l of water).

Dry rust . Dangerous fungal disease. The affected plant develops rusty-brown spots and stripes on the leaves, as well as dusty pustules.

Diseased shoots are removed, and the plants are sprayed with Bordeaux mixture 2–3 times at intervals of 10–12 days.

Gray rot. Fuchsia roots often suffer from it, especially when overmoistened . When replanting plants, it is important to pay attention to the roots. They should be light, almost white and hard. If the roots are brownish and soft, then this is a sure sign of gray rot. A characteristic gray coating also appears on the leaves.

For prevention, Trichodermin, the preparations Zaslon, Barrier, etc. are added to the soil. All affected parts of the plants are removed and the fuchsias are sprayed with fungicides Abiga Pik, Skor (9), and copper sulfate.

Pink color of flowers: meaning and symbolism

In bouquets, pink flowers are found a little less often than red or white ones. What is their significance? Colombians traditionally kept pink anthurium in the newlyweds' bedroom during their honeymoon, promising them a happy family life. Raspberry-pink callas given to an unmarried girl spoke of admiration for her beauty and admiration for her. In a broader sense, pink flowers are softer in color than red ones, but they belong precisely to this primary color. Therefore, its main meaning is love, but tender, reverent, mixed with reverence for the recipient. Pink flowers are often given to those to whom they want to show respect, and they are also presented as a sign of courtesy, politeness and courtesy.

A bouquet of pink clover was given for good luck, or with an interline recognition that the one to whom this flower was given brings happiness to the giver. Gentle mallows - please pay attention, believe, forgive, treat what happened with understanding and leniency. Pink lush caps of peonies, which not long ago surpassed even roses in demand, are able to say more than the queen of flowers: they promise to give the whole world to the one to whom they were given. Unlike a rose, they do not shout about the feelings of the giver, but guarantee his reliability in marriage and fidelity. Dreams of a shared future and never-letting-go love are symbolized by bright pink phloxes, and crimson gladiolus assures of the sincerity of intentions and feelings.

Shrubs blooming in summer

At the beginning of summer, the elegant weigela will bloom, densely covered with bell-like inflorescences. Its bright pink flowers can brighten up any garden. This shrub, by the way, is frost-resistant and can grow even on rocky slopes.

Hibiscus can amaze any gardener with its large, bright flowers. Each of them stays on the branch for only one day, but they continuously replace each other, making the bush constantly blooming. The main condition for good growth and flowering of the named plant will be light. And if the climate allows, then lavender bushes planted nearby will turn this corner of the garden into a paradise.

Spiraea, which is sometimes called meadowsweet (although this is not entirely true), opens at the peak of summer. Spiraea flowers are small, with long threads of stamens, which gives them a special fluffiness. The curved branches of this shrub, abundantly covered with flowers, can add grace and sophistication to any landscape. If you choose varieties of spirea depending on the timing of flowering, you can achieve a continuous change of palette in the garden - from snow-white to soft pink. In addition, spirea is absolutely unpretentious in care.
