Transplant hosts in the fall should be held until the end of September

In landscape design, leaf-decorative plants are popular, making harmony and completeness in garden compositions. Among them, a special place is occupied by perennials such as hosts, or functions, in which the magical foliage colors are combined with sophistication and elegance. Varieties of this plant are called queen of shadows.

Blue and green, bluish and golden leaves on lush bushes, having edges along the edges and contrasting edges - gardeners will immediately say that it is a host.

Transplantation in the autumn gives an opportunity to perfectly play such qualities of this plant as unpretentiousness, and most importantly - their ability to preserve their exotic yellowish-golden colors until the first frost.

That is why the host - a representative of the family of lilies, having large enough and dense leaves, is very popular.

Agrarian specialists believe that the transplantation of hosts in autumn or spring should be made only in case of necessity, since the plant suffers rather heavily this process. After the procedure, it recovers for a long time, losing for some time its external magnificence.

However, experienced gardeners, who grow this decorative culture on their site, know how it can grow, interfering with the normal existence of other flowers in the flower beds. That's why the hosts are transplanting in the fall. Before you start to change the habitat of the bush, you need to think carefully about the new site for its growth, since it is not recommended to subject the plant to the test several times.

Many believe that spring is the most successful time of transplantation, since it is during this season that young shoots appear from the ground. You can do this throughout the summer.

Some plant growers are sure that the transplantation of hosts in the autumn is the most correct decision. However, for this there are certain time limits: it is desirable that this is done not later than the end of September. This is explained by the fact that for rooting and adaptation of the bush before the onset of the first colds, it takes some time - at least one month.

In this case, the most common varieties of this ornamental plant - "zybold" and "tokuda" with their hybrids - have one distinctive property. They spring roots do not grow at all.

The transplantation of hosts in the fall begins with a complete digging out of the bush. After that, the roots are shaken off the ground. Their ends are slightly trimmed for plant rejuvenation. The rhizomes are cut with a knife, and then they break with their hands. Experienced gardeners recommend places of faults to handle a solution of fungicide or ash.

The plant prefers light, fertile soils with medium acidity. A few hours before the hosts are transplanted in the fall, the site where it should be planted is abundantly watered. If necessary, the pit is covered with peat or fallen leaves.

If several bushes are transplanted at once, it is necessary to take into account that the size of an adult plant is quite impressive. Therefore, it is necessary to plant at a distance of at least one meter from each other.

The root neck, which should be at ground level, must be mulched with humus.
