Chubushnik - This is a plant belonging to the family Hortensia. This bush with beautiful white flowers and sweet aroma can be confused with jasmine This article is about why it is worth planting garden jasmine and how to do it.
We will also consider the proper care for them and the types of plant reproduction and the time of the year when it is worthwhile to plant a pince-face. Let us analyze the beneficial properties of garden jasmine and learn how to deal with pests and diseases of the forelock.
Did you know? The plant began to be called Chubushnik because chubuk and mouthpieces for smoking pipes were made of its wood.
Planting chubushnika
The leaves of garden jasmine are light green in color. Upon the arrival of autumn, the color changes to bright lemon.
Inflorescence smell like strawberries.
Chubushnik looks like this:
Now that we know what it looks like, we should begin the landing of the Chubushnik itself.
Choosing a landing site
Chubushnik loves the sun very much, but it also feels great in the shade. If you plant garden jasmine on the sunny part of the garden, it will bloom profusely and beautifully, and if in the shade, the flowers gradually become smaller, and the branches are drawn out.
The most comfortable soil for garden jasmine is gerbil. But even in a very moist land, the chubushnik feels great. The main thing is to use drainage (crushed stone or pebbles).
Garden jasmine does not tolerate stagnant water near the roots. It is also resistant to temporary drought. The soil should contain leaf soil, sand and humus.
Basic landing rules
Now that we know which place is best for planting the chubushnik in your garden, we turn to the rules of planting this plant.
- Landing is carried out approximately from September 10 to October 10. Many gardeners are wondering how to plant garden jasmine in the spring in order to grow a gorgeous shrub. First you need to wait until the leaves bloom, otherwise the mongrel may die.
- The distance between the bushes of garden jasmine should be up to 1.5 m. If you plant a barbie as a hedge, then the distance should be up to 50-70 cm from each other in sunny areas.
- If you plant a pincer in a clay soil, you should pour a 15 cm thick layer of drainage into the hole. Then you need to pour out the soil mixture, the composition of which you and I discussed above. It is required to make it a week before landing the chubushnik.
- Only the root should fall into the ground. The stem must peek out, otherwise, if you bury it, there is a possibility of rotting chubushnik. Planting depth should be about 50 cm.
- After planting, water should be watered abundantly at the pincer (for each bush, 2-3 buckets of water).
- When the ground settles after watering, add dry land to the wells. The main thing is not to fill the root neck with more than 3 cm. This is the maximum depth that will not allow the neck to rot.
- A couple of days after planting, use mulch near the circle of the seedling (the layer should be about 3-4 cm).
Proper care of Chubushnik
Care for chubushnik garden not difficult. In this section, we consider the proper watering and fertilizing the soil, as well as the correct cutting and thinning of the shrub.
Watering and fertilizing soil
It is necessary to water a bush very often. If the pincer is not enough moisture, the leaves begin to wither and lose elasticity. Only if you water it again, does the plant regain a healthy appearance.
Also during the growing chubushnik required to fertilize the plant at least three times.
The first top dressing chubushnika conducted in early spring. To do this, take the fertilizer "Agricola" and diluted 2 tbsp. 10 liters of water. This mixture is watered one bush.
The second feeding passes before flowering. This time we use organic fertilizers, for example, "Effecton". He divorced in the same way as "Agricola".
You can also add liquid fertilizer "Ross". On one bush now need 2 buckets of diluted feeding.
The third is held in the autumn period. It strengthens the plant for winter time. Apply superphosphate and potassium sulfate. To 10 l of water add 1 tbsp. every fertilizer.
Watering should now be half a bucket each shrub. If suddenly in winter the bush is frozen, do not worry, it will quickly recover.
Land, preferably in the basal circle, should be loosened a couple of times over the summer. Also, do not forget about mulching in winter, up to 4 cm thick.
Pruning and thinning shrubs
Find out when and how to cut garden jasmine.
It is worth doing it annually. Chubushnik needs removing wilted flowers and pruning shoots over 12 years old. You can also create crowns at your discretion.
In early spring, you should cut off half strong branches, which will contribute to the development of shoots of normal growth on them. All procedures help Chubushnik to grow rapidly.
In winter, the cold may cause the young shoots to freeze out, but if they are cut off the following year, the young shoots will restore the appearance of the Pincer. In adult plants, the trunks are thickened and laid bare. Such bushes should be trimmed.
In late winter or early spring, the trunks are cut to 40 cm. The rest is cut to the ground.
Important! After pruning, cut the cuts with a garden pitch.
Shoots that grow in the autumn, the next spring should be removed, leaving 3 process on each stump.
The following year, new bushes will form from these processes. In a couple of years, Chubushnik will bloom in full force.
Chubushnik transplant
In this section, we will figure out how to transplant a pincer without harming the plant itself.
Since garden jasmine easily tolerates transplantation and is quickly restored, you should sacrifice a part of the foliage and, unfortunately, lose the year of flowering of the plant. Chubushnik need to replant until mid-September.
It is worth waiting for a rainy or cloudy day. Before digging a shrub, it should be watered well and left for a day. Then half of the old shoots are removed under the root, and the rest are shortened.
After that, we dig out the mite and move it to a new site, watering it before it and compacting the soil. In order to quickly adapt garden jasmine to a new location, after transplantation, we advise you to tread a little bit of the soil under a bush and water it abundantly.
Chubushnik breeding
Propagate Chubushnik not be easy. It can be diluted with seeds, cuttings and layering, which will be discussed in this section.
Seeds
In this way, species moths propagate, rather than plants bred by crossing. Sowing is done in autumn, winter or spring.
If you decide to conduct sowing in the winter, you should do this at a temperature not lower than 10 ° C, in weather without wind. Sow directly in a layer of snow to a depth of 30 cm and cover the seeds with straw. From above, you can press large branches. In the spring shelter removed and pritenuyut sprouts appeared.
If you plant in the spring, the seeds are planted in greenhouses or greenhouses. Before sowing, future plants are placed in a gauze bag and immersed in water for one and a half hours at room temperature.
Then the seeds in the bag are transferred to wet sawdust or peat. On day 3, when the seeds swell, they are mixed with dry sand and sown, and then sprinkled with humus.
After the shoots sprout, they must be pritenyat.
Cuttings
In order to propagate Chubushnik cuttings, you want to tear a small branch from the bush you like. Semi-woody cuttings should be taken during or after flowering.
On the cuttings are side branches with flowers. It should be a sharp movement to tear off the branch from the main shoot. It should remain a piece of wood with bark.
To root the cuttings, it is required to pour a drainage layer (for example, expanded clay) on the bottom of the dish and cover it with a mixture of peat and sand in equal proportions. We advise you to moisten them a little before mixing. Pour the sand on top with a layer of 3 cm and pour it with a solution of the fungicide.
Preparation of cuttings is also very simple. To do this, cut the lower leaves and flowers on the cuttings and soak them in the Epin solution for 12 hours.
Dip the slice into a powder to stimulate root formation. The cuttings are planted in a container with an inclination of 40 degrees.
Important! Bottom leaf stalks should not sink into the sand.
After planting, we cover with a transparent bag or a jar of cuttings and transfer them to a shade in the garden. We also advise you to spray cuttings every day so that rooting can proceed successfully.
When the cuttings have taken root, we plant them together with a clod of earth in a permanent place, shading it for the first time.
Layering
Chubushnik easily forms cuttings that root 70%. Pre-bushes pruned to hemp (height of about 5-7 cm from the ground). This stimulates the growth of young shoots.
In the spring they dig up the earth around the chubushnik, level it with a rake and feed it with fertilizers. After this, the overgrowth is made at the lower bud to the ground and secured with wooden pins. Hauling should be done with soft wire.
After fixing, shoots fall asleep soil. By the end of the growing season, overgrowths, cuttings, independently develop into shrubs with good roots.
The following spring, they are dug out and cut with a pruning shear from the bush. To grow the layers should be within two years.
Chubushnik garden design
Chubushnik in landscape design is used in large unformed hedges as the main shrub.
The plant is well combined with lilac and hydrangea. You can also plant several types of varieties of chubushnik, creating unusual compositions and color play. They may differ in crown shape, height and texture of foliage.

Pests and diseases Chubushnika, the fight against them
Deformation, shrinking, twisting and dropping of leaves occurs due to lack of humidity, poor watering or the direct influence of the direct rays of the sun. If you have such problems, you should transplant the plant in a shaded place and constantly spray and water.
If the chubushnik has wilted its buds and does not want to bloom, then the plant has little light. If the flowers began to darken, it speaks of dry and warm air.
Chubushnik can also damage gray rot on leaves and shoots and Septoria.
Gray rot
This disease develops with strong temperature and high rainfall. Gray rot completely affects the whole plant.
The causative agent is a fungus of the genus Botrytis. On mushrooms appear brown blurry spots of irregular shape. They quickly dry out, crack and fall out.
The fight against this disease is simple: you need to spray the bush with liquid Bordeaux and remove fallen leaves and diseased shoots.
Septoria
The causative agent of this disease - the mushroom Septoria. Symptoms of the disease - the appearance of small round spots of dark brown color on the top plate of leaves. The diameter of these spots is 2-6 mm. 
The fungus grows into all leaf tissues and causes leaves to fall. In this case, the entire plant is damaged completely, it blooms weakly and is exposed to other diseases caused by fungus.
You can fight them the same way as with gray mold.
Of the pests, the snout can suffer from aphids, mealybugs, spider mites and whiteflies.
Bean aphid
Adults and larvae of this pest feed on plant sap. As a result, the leaves are damaged - twisted and deformed. Then these leaves dry out and remain underdeveloped. In addition, bean aphid spreads viral diseases.
To get rid of them, you should spray Karbofos or Rogor bush.
Mealybug
These pests are easily recognizable by a white cotton-like bloom, and they differ well on foliage. Chervets inhibit plant growth by sucking the sap of leaves, buds and young shoots.
With the defeat of this pest should spray the bush with one of the drugs: Aktara, Calypso, Konfidor or Confidant, with an interval of 7-14 days.
Spider mite
This pest gets on your mite in different ways. You should not wait for the reproduction of the tick and you should get rid of it as soon as possible.
This is done by spraying with a 0.3% Celtan emulsion. It costs 2-3 times with an interval of 6-8 days.
Whitefly
If you grow a young chubushnik in a place with high temperature and humidity (ie, in greenhouses or greenhouses), you should be prepared for such a misfortune as whitefly.
These parasites hide on the underside of the leaves. On the upper side appears a brilliant raid. These are the excrements of insects on which sooty fungi develop.
The surface of the sheet turns white and then black. It is these mushrooms that can harm the plant, because because of them the growth of shoots stops.
In order to get rid of the whitefly, you can use a soap solution, or drugs - Aktara, Konfidor, etc.
